Airport Runway Detection Based on Local Hough Transform
In this paper, a local Hough transform method based on direction prediction is proposed for the airport runway detection of visible remote sensing image.The runway direction prediction is achieved by determining the correspondence between the coefficient distribution angle range with a dominant function in energy contribution and the airport runway.With the use of the direction information of the runway, Hough transformation range is reduced, and the airport runway is obtained via the line detection through local Hough transformation.Experiments show that, with this method, the disturbance from the ground objects in complex background can be better removed, and the airport runway can be detected with great speed and accuracy.
