Popis: Nowadays, an important problem in combining vector data and imagery is that they rarely align. This problem can become particularly acute in the case of cadastral systems. In this study, and as part of the partnership between the Universities of Jaen and Adam Mickiewicz (Poznan), we provide a methodological proposal to assess the conflation procedures between cadastral vector data and imagery, improving the alignment between both data sets. To do this, we use an automatic alignment algorithm which detects road intersections from both data sets as control points by using image texture characterisation. With this method, we first train the system on the imagery to learn the road texture distribution, then we can obtain its segmentation according to its texture, and finally the system locates road intersection points. The last step is to align vector data and imagery by using different techniques. This algorithm is based on an earlier one, detailed in [Ruiz, J.J., Rubio, T.J., and Urena, M.A., 2011b. Automat...
