LDPoly: Latent Diffusion for Polygonal Road Outline Extraction in Large-Scale Topographic Mapping
- 采用双隐空间扩散模型生成道路掩码与顶点热图
- 在荷兰多区域数据集上达到领先性能,尤其在连通性与平滑度上优势明显
- 首次将扩散模型用于无冗余顶点的矢量化轮廓提取,适合地图制图研究者
从高分辨率航空影像中提取矢量化道路轮廓是大规模地形制图的重要任务,道路以多边形表示,需保留关键几何特征并最小化顶点冗余。尽管建筑物轮廓提取已广泛研究,但道路特有的分支结构与拓扑连通性给现有方法带来挑战。为此,本文提出LDPoly,首个专为该任务设计的框架。其采用新型双隐空间扩散模型与通道嵌入融合模块,同时生成道路掩码与顶点热图,并通过定制化多边形化方法获得高精度矢量多边形。我们在新基准数据集Map2ImLas上评估,该数据集涵盖荷兰多个区域的详细多边形标注。实验包括同区域与跨区域评估,后者用于检验模型泛化能力。定量与定性结果表明,LDPoly在像素覆盖率、顶点效率、多边形规则性及道路连通性等指标上均优于现有方法。我们还引入两个新指标评估多边形简洁性与边界平滑度。本工作首次将扩散模型应用于无冗余顶点的遥感图像矢量化轮廓提取,为该领域未来发展奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Polygonal road outline extraction from high-resolution aerial images is an important task in large-scale topographic mapping, where roads are represented as vectorized polygons, capturing essential geometric features with minimal vertex redundancy. Despite its importance, no existing method has been explicitly designed for this task. While polygonal building outline extraction has been extensively studied, the unique characteristics of roads, such as branching structures and topological connectivity, pose challenges to these methods. To address this gap, we introduce LDPoly, the first dedicated framework for extracting polygonal road outlines from high-resolution aerial images. Our method leverages a novel Dual-Latent Diffusion Model with a Channel-Embedded Fusion Module, enabling the model to simultaneously generate road masks and vertex heatmaps. A tailored polygonization method is then applied to obtain accurate vectorized road polygons with minimal vertex redundancy. We evaluate LDPoly on a new benchmark dataset, Map2ImLas, which contains detailed polygonal annotations for various topographic objects in several Dutch regions. Our experiments include both in-region and cross-region evaluations, with the latter designed to assess the model's generalization performance on unseen regions. Quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate that LDPoly outperforms state-of-the-art polygon extraction methods across various metrics, including pixel-level coverage, vertex efficiency, polygon regularity, and road connectivity. We also design two new metrics to assess polygon simplicity and boundary smoothness. Moreover, this work represents the first application of diffusion models for extracting precise vectorized object outlines without redundant vertices from remote-sensing imagery, paving the way for future advancements in this field.
