Popis: Road network extraction from remote sensing images has played an important role in various areas. However, due to complex imaging conditions and terrain factors, such as occlusion and shades, it is very challenging to extract road networks with complete topology structures. In this paper, we propose a learning-based road network extraction framework via a Multi-supervised Generative Adversarial Network (MsGAN), which is jointly trained by the spectral and topology features of the road network. Such a design makes the network capable of learning how to “guess” the aberrant road cases, which is caused by occlusion and shadow, based on the relationship between the road region and centerline; thus, it is able to provide a road network with integrated topology. Additionally, we also present a sample quality measurement to efficiently generate a large number of training samples with a little human interaction. Through the experiments on images from various satellites and the comprehensive comparisons to state-of-the-art approaches on the public datasets, it is demonstrated that the proposed method is able to provide high-quality results, especially for the completeness of the road network.
