Zusammenfassung
In this paper, we present how multi-spectral Sentinel-2 satellite images can be used in a machine learning approach based on an encoder-decoder semantic segmentation network to map human settlements. We show the effectiveness of the proposed CNN approach for the mapping of settlements in experiments with 785 European cities. The proposed approach to learn a settlement mapping with noisy ground truth data results in an effective settlement segmentation network with a mean intersection over union of 80.55% and a pixel accuracy of 87.40%.
