Abstract
The automatic extraction of objects from data and images has been a topic of research for decades. In this paper, we present a novel approach for object recognition based on the Radon Transform (RT). A new exploitation of the Radon Transform is proposed to extract only one projection according to an angle. This projection will be chosen in the way that contains the necessary information to recognize an object (a shape descriptor). This descriptor (called Rθ-signature) provides global information of a binary shape regardless its form. The signature allows keeping fundamental geometrical transformation like scale, translation and rotation. After that, we use this signature in the automatic extraction of buildings in high-resolution satellite imagery.
