A novel spectral index to automatically extract road networks from WorldView-2 satellite imagery

This research develops a spectral index to automatically extract asphalt road networks named road extraction index (REI). This index uses WorldView-2 (WV-2) imagery, which has high spatial resolution and is multispectral. To determine the best bands for WV-2, field spectral data using a field spectr...
