perceptual grouping and unsupervised classification. Three
descriptors then characterize and match the regional features effectively. The proposed building roof extraction approach can remarkably improve detection accuracy, and
the proposed heterogeneous classification framework can
divide internal structures validly and robustly. By using the
constructed similarity measurements fully describing the
regional features, a favorable image matching result that
overcomes complex urban scenes is obtained rapidly. The
experimental area is filled with repetitive patterns and poor
textures, and the results are almost completely correct. An
image-mosaicking instance verifies the feasibility of the
matching technique. Therefore, the proposed approach can
significantly achieve the rapid and effective urban image
matching. The proposed approach can also be applied for
image retrieval, image mosaic, and geometric measurement
in complex urban scenes.
