• Abstract: This study presents a novel approach for roof detail extraction and vectorization using remote sensing images. Unlike previous geometric-primitive-based methods that rely on the detection of corners, our method focuses on edge detection as the primary mechanism for roof reconstruction, while utilizing geometric relationships to define corners and faces. We adapt the YOLOv8 OBB model, originally designed for rotated object detection, to extract roof edges effectively. Our method demonstrates robustness against noise and occlusion, leading to precise vectorized representations of building roofs. Experiments conducted on the SGA and Melville datasets highlight the method's effectiveness. At the raster level, our model outperforms the state-of-the-art foundation segmentation model (SAM), achieving a mIoU between 0.85 and 1 for most samples and an ovIoU close to 0.97. At the vector level, evaluation using the Hausdorff distance, PolyS metric, and our raster-vector-metric demonstrates significant improvements after polygonization, with a close approximation to the reference data. The method successfully handles diverse roof structures and refines edge gaps, even on complex roof structures of new, excluded from training datasets. Our findings underscore the potential of this approach to address challenges in automatic roof structure vectorization, supporting various applications such as urban terrain reconstruction.

  Traditional 3D networks mainly focus on local geometric details and ignore the topological structure between local geometries.

Experiments on the PointDA-10 and the Sim-to-Real datasets verify that the proposed method consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performance of UDA for point cloud classification.

  Existing detection methods commonly use a parameterized bounding box (BBox) to model and detect (horizontal) objects. We argue that such a mechanism has fundamental limitations in building an effective regression loss for rotation detection. We propose to model the rotated objects as Gaussian distributions. We extend our approach from 2-D to 3-D with a tailored algorithm design to handle the heading estimation.
