Object detection and classification in imagery using deep neural networks (DNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a well-studied area. For some applications, these AI approaches are considered to be reliable enough to use in production with minimal intervention. Popular methods include YOLO, SSD, Faster-RCNN, MobileNet, RetinaNet, and others. In most application contexts…
]]>It’s that time again — SpaceNet raised the bar in their third challenge to detect road-networks in overhead imagery around the world. Today, map features such as roads, building footprints, and points of interest are primarily created through manual techniques. In the third SpaceNet challenge, competitors were tasked with finding automated methods for extracting map-ready road networks from high…
