MBI

Morphological Building Index, extract Buildings from a high-resolution top view image(e.g. Quick Bird images) through a morphological method.
MBI is proposed by Prof. X. Huang, Wuhan University. The paper has been published on IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing in 2011.

Usage

You can snip your neighbours from Google Map and use it as input. (*.tif)
Run the MBI.m in your MATLAB, and it will guide you to choose your input image.
Differential Mophological Spectrum, as intermediate reuslts, will be output.
Final results, the MBI(Morphological Building Index) will be output.
