When mapping large territories, the trade-off between processing time and result quality is a central design decision. Currently, this machine learning task is usually performed using pixel-wise classification methods. However, the radical shift of the computer vision field away from hand-engineered image features and towards more automation by representation learning comes with many promises, including higher quality results and less engineering effort. In particular, convolutional neural networks learn features which take into account the context of the pixels and, therefore, a better representation of the data can be TI - Land Cover Maps Production with High Resolution Satellite Image Time Series and Convolutional Neural Networks: Adaptations and Limits for Operational Systems JF - Remote Sensing DO - 10.3390/rs11171986 DA - 2019-08-23 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/land-cover-maps-production-with-high-resolution-satellite-image-time-H5gmrF5drE DP - DeepDyve ER -
