Introduction
Building footprint data is important, especially in emergency service
applications
Landgate (WA) currently have almost 1 million buildings in database
Capture is manually intensive and time consuming
Landgate needed a cost effective, efficient and sustainable process
Research funding provided through Landgate Innovation Program
via CRCSI

Problem
Current approaches
Those reliable rely on LiDAR data
Expensive for use in operational environment
Measurement still relying on human operator
Frequent updating is required (every 6 months)
An operational computer vision method for
delineation of building footprints Solution

Previous Work
[Awarangjeb et al 2010 at
CRCSI]
Initial identification: threshold
LiDAR data
Delineation: Edge detection
and modelling
Slow (13.5 minutes for 132
buildings), rectangle shape
assumption and heavily
relying on LiDAR

3D data is essential
LiDAR versus multi-view
imagery
Model based versus data-
driven approach
Optimisation methods like
active contours not suitable in
operational setting

Outcome Benefits – Business Application
CRCSI
65% time saving in capture and QA of buildings
Allows capture in areas previously uncaptured due to
resource restraints (eg rural/regional areas)
Increased volume of location information accessible to the
community
Allows greater frequency of capture – annual vs five-yearly
Allows resources to focus manual effort on built up areas
with tall buildings and requirements for 3D e.g. CBD
More cost efficient process
No requirement for LiDAR
Uses existing imagery and data captured by business for
other purposes

Test site 1 Test site 2
Total 657 buildings
Average building
coverage 73%
Total 6,276 buildings
Average building
coverage 71%
Average capture quality lower than manual method
Output is 2D compared to 3D from manual method
2D data is sufficient for many operational purposes

Outlook
CRCSI
Build on positive outcomes of this research
More research into correcting occlusion from trees
and shadows
More research into capture of buildings that do not
align with imagery pixels
Research into use of automated process for change
detection
Integrate research outcomes into business processes
