STUDY OF SUITABLE METHODS OF BUILDING EXTRACTION FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGERIES– CASE STUDY OF JAFFNA, SRI LANKA.

The Location of each building is a necessary data for planning of disaster, resource management, infrastructure development, service providing etc. Traditionally, the building boundaries are delineated through manual digitization from digital images in stereo view using the photogrammetric stereo plotters. However, this process is a tiresome and time consuming task and requires qualified people and expensive equipment. For this reason, building extraction using the automatic techniques has a great potential and importance. In developed countries automatic building extraction is being increasingly used for urban planning and management. Therefore, it has been the focus of intensive research for the last decade.
When comparing with other convenient method of Survey, the satellite imagery is cost and time effective. However, in Sri Lanka not enough research in this content and still no organization has considered this technology.
Several case studies carried out in other countries in urban area building extraction. In most of the developed countries urban building have some similar characteristics such as built materials, shape and texture. But in Sri Lankan rural context is completely different in the aspects of building materials, different shape of buildings and no any patterns. All of above the canopy cover is the great challenge.

Due to these differences Sri Lanka requires a specific research to identify the proper algorithm and implementation mechanism for time and cost effective building location data collection from high resolution multi spectral satellite imagery.
