Building extraction from remotely sensed image involves detecting and separating buildings from other land cover classes. The challenges involved in extracting buildings are different viewing angles, surrounding vegetation, shadows, and other objects which obscure the edges of the buildings which are being detected. Motivated by these challenges in the problem domain, it is planned to do a survey on the existing methods that extract buildings from remotely sensed images addressing a few of these challenges. It is understood from literature that morphological (shape) techniques and segmentation methodologies are widely applied for achieving better results in extracting buildings.
