| Abstract | This paper presents an automatic approach to rectify misalignments between a geo-referenced Very High Resolution (VHR) optical image (raster) and a road database (vector). Due to inconsistent representations of road objects in different data sources, the extraction and validation of the homologous road features are complicated. The proposed Sparse Matching (SM) approach is able to smoothly snap the road features from the vector database to their corresponding road features in the VHR image. This novel conflation approach includes three main steps: linear feature preprocessing; sparse matching; feature transformation. Instead of directly extracting the complete road network from the image, which is still a challenging topic for the image processing community, the linear features as road candidates are extracted using Elastic Circular Mask (ECM) and the existing noises are filtered by means of perceptual factors via Genetic Algorithm (GA). With the sparse matching approach, the correspondence between the road candidates from the image and the road features from the vector database can be maximized in terms of geometric and radiometric characteristics. Finally, we compare the transformation results from two different transformational functions i.e. the piecewise Rubber-Sheeting (RUBS) approach and the Thin Plate Splines (TPS) approach for the matched features. The main contributions of this proposed approach include: 1) A novel sparse matching approach especially for conflation framework; 2) Efficient noise filtering in the results from the ECM detector and the GA approach; 3) Numerical comparison of two popular transformational functions. The proposed method has been tested for variant imagery scenario and over 80 percent correct ratio can be achieved from our experiment, at the same time, the average Root Mean Square (RMS) value decreases from 30 meter to less than 10 meter, which makes it possible to use snake-based algorithm for further process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
