Abstract  

With the popularity of cell phones having functions of GPS positioning,navigation and camera,there exist increasing demands for real-time identification of urban buildings with mobile terminals.In this paper,image processing algorithms for urban buildings recognition,including SIFT and Local Search,were discussed and compared in details to show that contour lines and their combinations are stable geometric features of buildings,so the algorithms based on contour lines immune to affine transformation,low picture qualities and lens distortion.Besides,the match index based on contour lines can reflect the camera position change.As a result,Local Search was improved;firstly getting the building contour lines by abstracted from pictures photographed by mobile terminals and generated from the 3D-database,secondly utilizing it to find some of the best matches between  those contour lines.The improved algorithm can meet the demand of fast building recognition in mobile terminals .

Key words:  Urban building recognition      SIFT      Local Search      Line features matching      Sky-line of construction
