Abstract: The quality and efficiency of dataset preparation are common basic issues that are concerned in the field of remote sensing image intelligent processing. Aiming at the difficulty of preparing the road extraction dataset for aerial image, this paper proposes an iterative algorithm for the optimization of the nearest edge feature to prepare the road extraction dataset for aerial image. The algorithm first establishes the homography transformation relationship between aerial image and satellite image through manual assistance, and projects the satellite image onto the aerial image to realize the coarse registration of the satellite image to the aerial image based on the four-point method. Then, the edge detection operator is used to extract the edge features of the image after the rough registration. Finally, the precise registration of the image is completed by the iterative nearest edge optimization algorithm, which improves the preparation accuracy of the road dataset of the aerial image. At the end of the thesis, a road extraction dataset preparation experiment is carried out, which proves that the road dataset preparation method proposed in this paper can significantly improve the efficiency of road dataset preparation while meeting the accuracy requirements of the dataset.
