Abstract
The interpretation of aerial images, e.g. for building up a road map, is difficult to automate. Improvements can be made by incorporation of knowledge sources like old maps, generic knowledge of road design rules and other context knowledge. This paper focuses on modelling and usage of old maps and road design knowledge for the extraction of new road exits of motorways from aerial imagery with a pixelsize of approx. 1 meter.
