The traditional method to construct Geographic Information System (GIS) is to first scan published maps, then undertake the important and difficult step to digitize maps data. The latter is a time consuming and labour intensive procedure. In this paper, a modeling method based on neural networks is proposed to extract road and other geographic information from high-resolution satellite images to construct the GIS.
