Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides an above-ground building recognition method, including the following steps: (1) taking an infrared image of the ground from the air; (2) performing detection and positioning in the infrared image to determine a suspected target; (3) aiming at the suspected target to perform laser imaging; (4) performing range gating on a laser image to filter out foreground and background interference; and (5) extracting a shape feature of the suspected target from the laser image with interference filtered out, and taking the shape feature as a target matching element to perform matching with a target shape feature template, so as to recognize the target. In the method of the present invention, laser imaging is integrated into infrared imaging target positioning, so that an advantage of a large range of infrared imaging is utilized, and three-dimensional range information of laser imaging is also utilized, thereby effectively improving the precision of positioning a building.
