description | The urban road network extraction process can be simplified by firstly detecting regions corresponding to streets, allowing a
substantial reduction of the search area. As a result, the extraction process is benefited in two aspects: the computational complexity
and the reliability. This paper aims at detecting street regions using only data obtained by Laser Scanner Systems. A sequence of
standard image processing techniques is used to process height and intensity laser scanner data. A normalized Digital Surface Model
is derived from height laser scanner data, from which regions corresponding to aboveground objects (mainly trees and buildings) are
detected. Next, detected tree regions are eliminated from the aboveground regions, remaining only buildings. Then, morphological
operators are applied in order to obtain elongated street ribbons and homogeneous block regions. Street regions are also detected in
the intensity image. The results obtained from the radiometric and geometric laser scanner data are combined, allowing the
elimination of non-street regions and the improvement of the geometry of region boundaries. The experimental results showed that
the methodology proved to be efficient to detect street regions. |
