Popis: In this paper, a method for road detection based on Duda and path operators has been presented. The roads are represented as slender dark regions with constant width and reflectance in the high-resolution SAR images. The path operators (path openings and closings) were performed as morphological filters in retaining linear structures. However, the filters were not sensitive to the width of linear feature. Focused on the limitation of the method, a preprocessing procedure using Duda operators was introduced before adopting the method of morphological profiles with path operators. When the modified method was applied on RADARSAT-2 datasets for different areas, the research results show that the completeness and correctness are over 70% for road detection from SAR images.
