This research introduces a new approach to reduce time execution
of processing programs, by reducing the amount of processed data,
especially in applications where the priority is to the execution time
of the program over the detailed information of captured pictures,
such as detection and tracking systems.
In our research we studied and analyzed the different types of
methods used for automatic building detection from the satellite
images, then, we proposed a general methodology for building
detection based on its geometrical boundary features using Hough
transform for the rectangular forms.
