It is important, but challenging, for the forest industry to accurately map roads which are used for timber transport by trucks. In this work, we propose a Dense Dilated Convolutions Merging Network (DDCM-Net) to detect these roads in lidar images. The DDCM-Net can effectively recognize multi-scale and complex shaped roads with similar texture and colors, and also is shown to have superior performance over existing methods. To further improve its ability to accurately infer categories of roads,
