Abstract

Road network extraction is vital to both vehicle navigation and road planning. Existing approaches focus on mining urban trunk roads from GPS trajectories of floating cars. However, path extraction, which plays an important role in earthquake relief and village tour, is always ignored. Addressing this issue, we propose a novel approach of extracting campus’ road network from walking GPS trajectories. It consists of data preprocessing and road centerline generation. The patrolling GPS trajectories, collected at Hunan University of Science and Technology, were used as the experimental data. The experimental evaluation results show that our approach is able to effectively and accurately extract both campus’ trunk roads and paths. The coverage rate is 96.21% while the error rate is 3.26%.
