Bounding Box Regression Network for Building Height Retrieval using a Single SAR Image

Kurzfassung

In this paper, we propose a bounding box regression network for building height retrieval using a single TerraSAR - X stripmap image. The proposed network employs building footprints from GIS data and exploits the location relationship between a building's footprint and its bounding box, enabling fast computation. Experimental results over Rotterdam show that the proposed network can reduce the computation cost significantly while keeping the height accuracy of individual buildings compared to a Faster R-CNN based method.
