Abstract :
This paper presents a new algorithm for recognizing patterns pertinent to the layover of façades in very high resolution SAR images, serving the increasing demand for monitoring individual buildings. The grouping of signatures is based on the combination of a weighted Hough transform and the analysis of spectrum peaks. First results of pattern extraction are shown for an office building located in the Munich city area.
