Abstract

A new built-up presence index based on the density of corners is presented. Corners are detected by multi scale Harris detector based on Differential Morphological Decompositions before being aggregated in a density of corners. Experiments are conducted with several high resolution panchromatic images and the density of corners is shown to be highly correlated to the PanTex built-up index [1].
