Abstract: Traditional rural road verification requires manual field spot checks or information collection by GNSS equipment, which has the problems of high cost and low efficiency. Remote sensing images have the advantages of wide imaging range, high timeliness, low cost and can reflect the reality objectively. Compared with traditional methods, introducing remote sensing technology images into rural road verification can complete rural roads verification more objectively, accurately and efficiently. Based on high-resolution remote sensing imagery, combining with rural road remote sensing verification requirements, this paper designs and implements a rural road verification method by using remote sensing image road extraction algorithm. This method has been applied to the rural road verification work based on remote sensing images in some provinces in central China, and the practical application has proved that it can effectively improve the efficiency of remote sensing verification of rural roads.

Key words: rural road, high resolution remote sensing, road network verification, trajectory consistency, quantitative evaluation
