| Summary: | Accurate and precise building extraction has become an essential requirement for various applications such as for impact analysis of flooding. This chapter seeks to improve the current and past methods of building extraction by using the principal components analysis (PCA) of LiDAR height (nDSM) and aerial photos (in four RGB and NIR bands) in an object-based image classification (OBIA). This approach uses a combination of aerial photos at 0.1-m spatial resolution and LiDAR nDSM at 1-m spatial resolution for precise and high-resolution building extraction. Because aerial photos provide four bands in the PCA process, this potentially means that the resolution of the image is maintained and therefore building outlines can be extracted at a high resolution of 0.1 m. A total of five experiments was conducted using a combination of different LiDAR derivatives and aerial photos bands in a PCA. The PCA of LiDAR nDSM and RGB and NIR bands combination has proved to produce the best result. The results show a completeness of 87.644%, and a correctness of 93.220% of building extraction. This chapter provides an improvement on the drawbacks of building extraction such as the extraction of small buildings and the smoothing with a well-defined building outline. |
