Bridge Detection in High-Resolution X-Band SAR Images by Combined Statistical and Topological Features
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 57, 91-102, 2017
Abstract
This article takes account of the radiation feature of rivers in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and proposes a novel automatic approach to detect highway bridges by combining statistical and topology features. The proposed method consists of two steps. In the river-extraction stage, the classification techniques are applied to water extraction according to the statistical and gray-leveled features. In the bridge-extraction stage, bridges are then detected in this binary image by using a topology-based approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be implemented with high-precision highway-bridge extraction, feature analysis, and bridge recognition.
