A Method for Fully Automatic Building Footprint Extraction From Remote Sensing Images
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Automatically mapping building footprints has a wide range of applications in many fields. In recent years, the automatic building extraction methods based on deep learning show an absolute advantage over the traditional image segmentation methods due to its high speed and high precision. However, the building footprint extracted by deep learning is just an irregular building mask. There is still much work to be done to transform the building mask into a vector building footprint in the usual sense. One of the most important tasks is to determine the orientation of each side of the building. Most of the current methods are based on the building mask to determine the orientation of each side of the building. The biggest disadvantage of this method is that it completely relies on the building mask which is often unsatisfactory. In this case, the article proposes a method to determine the orientation of each side of the building based on the building mask and line segments, thereby effectively avoiding the danger of relying on the building mask. Experiments show that the proposed method can achieve high-speed and high-precision automatic extraction of building footprints from remote sensing images, saving costs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
