A framework for high-resolution geo-specific road database creation based on image processing techniques for driving simulation

Geo-specific road modeling is an important aspect of driving simulation studies. A challenge in this operation is that it requires intensive manual work to collect data, interpret data, and create 3D models. Each of these components is time consuming. In this research, we propose a framework for fast geo-specific road modeling based on high-resolution aerial photos. This framework has been experimented on a real driving simulator.
