    Abstract

    When spectral classification approach has lost its efficiency in object recognition from finer resolution imagery, texture plays more and more important role. This paper introduces an approach of using the combination of four kinds of texture measurements (grey mean value, standard deviation, edge point density, edge line density) to extracting residential areas from high-resolution imagery. The job of extraction is performed in three steps: (1) Extraction of candidate pixels of residential areas based on mean grey value and standard deviation; (2) Extraction of candidate areas of residential areas based on edge point density; (3) Verification of candidate areas of residential areas based on edge line density. An experiment by using IKONOS PAN image is given to verify the correct of the method.
