  • Deep Learning from Multiple Crowds: A Case Study of Humanitarian Mapping

    Our paper about Deep Learning from Multiple Crowds: A Case Study of Humanitarian Mapping is available online now. Satellite images are widely applied in humanitarian mapping which labels buildings, roads and so on for humanitarian aid and economic development. However, the labeling now is mostly done by volunteers. In a recently accepted study, we utilize deep…

  • Deep Learning from Multiple Crowds: A Case Study of Humanitarian Mapping

    Satellite images are widely applied in humanitarian mapping which labels buildings, roads and so on for humanitarian aid and economic development. However, the labeling now is mostly done by volunteers. In a recently accepted study, we utilize deep learning to solve humanitarian mapping tasks of a mobile software named MapSwipe. The current deep learning techniques…

  • Deep Learning with Satellite Images and Volunteered Geographic Information

    Recently, deep learning has been widely applied in pattern recognition with satellite images. Deep learning techniques like Convolutional Neural Network and Deep Belief Network have shown outstanding performance in detecting ground objects like buildings and roads, and the learnt deep features are further applied in some prediction tasks like poverty and population mapping. On the…
