Resumen

Many studies have utilized global navigation satellite system (such as global positioning system (GPS)) trajectories in order to successfully infer road networks because such data can reveal the geometry and development of a road network, can be obtained in a timely manner, and updated on a low budget. Unfortunately, existing studies for inferring road networks from vehicle traces suffer from low accuracy, especially in dense urban regions and locations with complex structures, such as roundabouts, overpasses, and complex intersections. This study presents a novel two-stage approach for inferring road networks from trajectory points and capturing road geometry with better accuracy. First, a lane structure-aware filter is proposed to cluster vehicle trajectories influenced by high noise and outliers in order to reveal the continuous structure points of lane curves from massive trajectory points. Second, a road tracing operator is utilized to segment the road network geometry by inserting new vertices and segments to a vigorous vertex in the heading of the structure points that are extracted in the first step. Experimental results demonstrate the increased accuracy of the extracted roads and show that the proposed method exhibits strong robustness to noise and various sampling rates.
