Resümee

The traditional balloon snake model is free from the constraints of orthogonal grids compared with the topology-adaptive snake model and thus extracts water boundaries from high-resolution remote sensing images with more accuracy. However, this method cannot detect and handle topological conflict caused by islands in water. To solve this problem, an improved topology-adaptive balloon snake model, which is based on the traditional balloon snake model, is proposed. First, an original contour inside the target water body is manually set. Then, self-intersection detection is conducted each time prior to contour expansion. If holes cause topological conflict, curve deformation will be performed until the iteration stops. The data selected for this experiment were obtained from the GF-1 observing satellite images of three kinds of lakes and rivers, thus realizing the one-off accurate extraction of complex water from remote sensing images. Based on the results of our experiment, the proposed method can efficiently, correctly, and completely extract the boundaries of deeply concave regions and islands.
