Abstract

Modern geographic information systems (GIS) have a wide range of applications, including town-planning, town traffic control, ecology, logistics and others. These GIS require frequent update's using information supplied by aerospatial cartographic images. The standard approach to processing aerospatial cartographic images is interactive vectorization using software tools. This paper presents a method for object edge detection which is part of automated vectorization of aerospatial cartographic images. The method uses edge detection with local scale estimation and is well suited for locating anthropogenic objects (such as buildings and roads). The effectiveness of the proposed method has been experimentally verified on real aerospatial cartographic images.
