However, due to interference from road geometry and texture noise, it is difficult to avoid the decline of automation while accurately extracting roads. Therefore, we propose a high-resolution optical satellite image lane-level road extraction method. First, from the perspective of template matching and considering road characteristics and relevant semantic relations, an adaptive correction model, an MLSOH (multi-scale line segment orientation histogram) descriptor, a sector descriptor, and a multiangle beamlet descriptor are proposed to solve the interference from geometry and texture noise in road template matching and tracking. Second, based on refined lane-level tracking, single-lane and double-lane road-tracking modes are designed to extract single-lane and double-lane roads, respectively. In this paper, Pleiades satellite and GF-2 images are selected to set up different scenarios for urban and rural areas. Experiments are carried out on the phenomena that restrict road extraction, such as tree occlusion, building shadow occlusion, road bending, and road boundary blurring. Compared with other methods, the proposed method not only ensures the accuracy of lane-level road extraction but also greatly improves the automation of road extraction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11222672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]],"date-time":"2019-11-15T11:24:32Z","timestamp":1573817072000},"page":"2672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Lane-Level Road Extraction from High-Resolution Optical Satellite Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jiguang","family":"Dai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 12300, China"}]},{"given":"Tingting","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 12300, China"}]},{"given":"Yilei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 12300, China"}]},{"given":"Rongchen","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 12300, China"}]},{"given":"Wantong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 12300, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"623","DOI":"10.1109\/TSMC.1976.4309568","article-title":"Computer Recognition of Roads from Satellite Pictures","volume":"6","author":"Bajcsy","year":"1976","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
