Automatic roof mapping using remote sensing imagery has always been a challenging research topic in remote sensing [1-4]. In general, high spatial resolution and multispectral information are two important information components for automatic classification or extraction of building roofs. The high spatial resolution provides geometric details for delineating
individual objects, whereas the multispectral information supplies color information for differentiating objects with different spectral reflectance.
