从高分辨率遥感图像中提取建筑多边形轮廓是多种制图应用的基础任务。然而,成像条件差异和复杂建筑结构使自动轮廓提取极具挑战性。主流方法通常依赖像素级分割再经多步后处理生成轮廓,计算量大且易出错。本文提出一种名为PolyBuild的端到端方法,可直接从高分辨率遥感图像中提取建筑矢量多边形,无需任何后处理操作。该方法包含两个核心模块:初始轮廓生成模块(ICGM)和轮廓优化模块(COM)。ICGM通过合并每个建筑实例的子区域中心特征生成初始轮廓,同时完成目标检测与轮廓初筛,利用四个子区域的中心特征表示每个建筑。轮廓优化模块(COM)则通过基于Transformer的解码器,迭代融合卷积神经网络(CNN)特征与轮廓位置信息,对生成轮廓进行精细化调整。该混合CNN-Transformer架构有效捕捉了建筑轮廓中的局部与全局空间关系,确保边界绘制高质量。在三个建筑数据集上进行的大量实验表明,PolyBuild显著优于当前最先进方法,包括基于掩码和基于轮廓的方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Extracting building polygon contours from high-resolution remote sensing images is a fundamental task for various mapping applications. However, the presence of varying imaging conditions and complex building structures, makes automatic contour extraction extremely challenging. Mainstream approaches for building extraction often rely on pixel-level segmentation followed by multiple post-processing steps to produce building contour, which can be computationally intensive and prone to errors. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end method named PolyBuild, which can directly extract building vector polygons from high-resolution remote sensing images without the need for any post-processing operations. The proposed method leverages two primary modules: an Initial Contour Generation Module (ICGM) and a Contour Optimization Module (COM). The ICGM is designed to generate an initial building contour by utilizing concatenated sub-region center features for each building instance. It performs simultaneous object detection and initial contour extraction by generating bounding boxes and using the center features of four sub-regions to represent each building. The Contour Optimization Module (COM) further refines the generated building contours by iteratively integrating Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) features and contour positional information in a Transformer-based decoder. The hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture effectively captures both local and global spatial relationships within the building contour, ensuring high-quality boundary delineation. Extensive experiments are conducted on three building datasets to evaluate the performance of PolyBuild. The results demonstrate that PolyBuild significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, including mask-based and contour-based approaches.
