Deep Learning for Remote Sensing Image Segmentation

Deep Learning for Remote Sensing Image Segmentation applies convolutional neural networks and encoder-decoder architectures to automatically classify and delineate objects in satellite or aerial imagery at the pixel level. Systematically reviewed by Zhu et al. (2017) in IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine, this paradigm unified previously fragmented approaches — scene classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation — under a single learned-feature framework capable of exploiting the spatial, spectral, and temporal richness of remote sensing data.
