RoadMAP from TerraSim®
RoadMAP from TerraSim

RoadMAP from TerraSim® is a powerful road network extraction system utilizing advanced image understanding technology to automate the linear feature extraction process. Based upon cutting-edge research in image processing, photo-interpretation, and computer vision, RoadMAP seamlessly combines automated, semi-automated, and manual methods for detecting, delineating, and attributing road networks and other linear features.

RoadMAP 1.0 is a highly flexible and interactive image analysis system that allows a full range of automated linear feature extraction activities including automatic road finding and extraction, integrated manual editing, and system and user-level performace monitoring. RoadMAP supports rapid and accurate extraction and update of complex transportation networks using a single panchromatic or color orthophoto.

  • Powerful and easy to use linear feature extraction and attribution
  • Advanced graphical user interface
  • Automated road start and intersection detection
  • Interactive road width setting and centerline adjustment
  • Scroll-wheel point navigation
  • Generation of road centerline, road width, and full network topology
  • XML-based attribution implements NGA FACC codings and supports user-configurable attribution
  • Imports large-area tiled GeoTIFF imagery
  • Exports results directly to ESRI shapefiles

Windows 2000/XP® workstations:

  • 2Ghz processor
  • 1GB of RAM (2GB or more recommended)
  • 300MB of available hard drive space
  • OpenGL graphics accelerator with 128MB of VRAM

Source Data Perparation (SDP)

RoadMAP is a new SDP productivity tool from TerraSim that supports semi-automatic extraction of transportation networks - including paved and unpaved roads, railroads, and canals - from remotely sensed imagery.

Road surface appearance models are maintained and updated during extraction, allowing for detection of road surface anomalies due to material changes, obstructions, and vehicles.

RoadMAP interactions are instrumented to collect dataset statistics, allowing monitoring of your production process. Object counts, session times, and road feature histograms are gathered and presented in a succinct web-based report.
