Abstract
Contextual information can facilitate automatic extraction of objects from digital imager). This paper addresses the use of context for the automatic extraction of roads from aerial imagery. Context is restricted to knowledge about relations between roads and other objects and is hierarchically structured. More specific, context is used to guide road extraction on a global and on a local level. On a global level it is used to emphasize characteristic parts of the road model (context regions). On a local level it initiates contextual reasoning (context sketches).
