TL;DR: Results indicate that cultural features such as roads and buildings can be extracted and that a significant reduction in the complexity of the image description can be obtained.
Abstract: A method of pairing antiparallel straight lines is presented and discussed. The pairing is based on the distance between the lines, the amount by which they overlap, and on whether or not other lines are interposed. Examples are shown of applying the method to high resolution aerial photographs. Results indicate that cultural features such as roads and buildings can be extracted and that a significant reduction in the complexity of the image description can be obtained.
