RoadMAP 2.1 from TerraSim®
roadmap

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 2.1 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.

  • New supported image formats, including ECW, MrSID, and JPEG 2000
  • Support for saving and autosaving project files for complex extraction processes
  • New vector transform function to improve the data correspondence when using independent raster and vector sources
  • Automatic intersection finder to quickly add topology to imported or extracted data
  • New cut, copy, and paste operations with undo/redo
  • New automated path finder tool eases extraction of curvy linear features
  • Shapefile .prj import and export
  • Processing speedups and memory improvements
  • All new documentation including F1 help.

Windows XP/Vista/7 workstations:

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

Source Data Preparation

RoadMAP is a new source data preparation 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.
