Land Cover Classification at the Wildland Urban Interface using High-Resolution Satellite Imagery and Deep Learning

Nguyen, M. H., Block, J., Crawl, D., Siu, V., Bhatnagar, A., Rodriguez, F., Kwan, A., Baru, N., and Altintas, I. “Land Cover Classification at the Wildland Urban Interface using High-Resolution Satellite Imagery and Deep Learning,” in the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data.

Abstract

Land cover classification analysis from satellite imagery is important for monitoring change in ecosystems and urban growth over time. However, the land cover classifications that are widely available in the United States are generated at a low spatial and temporal resolution, so that the spatial distribution between vegetation and urban areas in the wildland urban interface is difficult to measure. High spatial and temporal resolution analysis is essential for understanding and managing changing environments in these regions. This paper describes an end to end satellite data ingestion and analysis pipeline using deep learning on high resolution satellite imagery for generating pixel-based land cover classification.
