Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to the detection of airport runway in SAR imagery, which combines a region-based method and a Hough transform analysis stage using contextual information to identify suitable signatures. For the recognition of runway, the points are grouped using a Hough transform to find potential runway; finally, The result of this procedure is the fast and accurate identification of airfield runways. Recognition results on high resolution SAR images are given.
