Abstract

We propose an approach to interleave surface reconstruction from multiple images and feature extraction. It uses an object-centered representation that is optimized to conform to the surface shape. It also extracts typical features such as crest lines and uses them to guide the optimization. We present results using aerial images and terrain data.
