Abstract

This Project proposes improvements in a previous methodology for the geometric refinement of building roof contours extracted from laser data using high-resolution aerial images and Markov Random Field (MRF) models. One of the improvements is to include in the energy function associated with the MRF a restriction called corner injuction. This restriction considers that the intersection of two adjacent lines, corresponding to the contour sides, should be close to a corner in 90º. The corners are extracted from an image through an appropriate image processing algorithm. Other improvement in the energy function is based on the fact that the lines representing roof contours are aproximately parallel or orthogonal. This restriction was called rectangularity injuction. Other modification in the original methodology refers to the energy function optimization algorithm. The original methodology used the brute force optimization algorithm associated with some heuristics. Although this method allows to obtain the optimal solution, if there is, the search space becomes computationally intractable when dozens of lines are in the search space. It is proposed to use a genetic algorithm in order to solve this problem. This algorithm should enable the solution of the optimization problem in situations not feasible for the original methodology. One complex case would be a setting with many buildings with contoursand ridges modelling. The proposed methodology will be evaluated based on real data - high-resolution aerial images, 3D data from laser scanning and polyhedra building extracted from laser data. (AU)
