title = "Strabo: A system for extracting road vector data from raster maps",
abstract = "Raster maps contain valuable road information, which is especially important for the areas where road vector data are otherwise not readily accessible. However, converting the road information in raster maps to road vector data usually requires significant user effort to achieve high accuracy. In this demo, we present Strabo, which is a system that extracts road vector data from heterogeneous raster maps. We demonstrate Strabo's fully automatic technique for extracting road vector data from raster maps with good image quality and the semi-automatic technique for handling raster maps with poor image quality. We show that Strabo requires minimal user input for extracting road vector data from raster maps with varying map complexity (i.e., overlapping features in maps) and image quality.",
