The main objective for the project is to develope a prototype system for estimation of annual average daily volume (AADT) for Norwegian roads using very high resolution optical satellite images.

Some sub-objectives include:

• Automatic detection and counting of vehicles in very high resolution optical satellite images.
• Automatic coregistration of road vector data and satellite image, and automatic construction of road masks.
• Automatic detection of clouds and cloud shadows in very high resolution optical satellite images.
