Abstract

In this paper, we propose a building detection algorithm for video based navigation system which overlays driving directions on the captured video from in-vehicle camera. We used edge segments of small size blocks within an image frame to remove background objects, trees, etc. Search range determination and edge tracing technique were also developed to determine the building area as the final step. The experiments show 88.9 % detection rate on the average and 95.9% for navigation video without trees and signs. The proposed algorithm can be also applied to point-of-interest (POI) detection for location based services (LBS) in ubiquitous computing environment.
