Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Using Deep Learning Based Segmentation Approaches and VHR Worldview-3 Images

This repository contains the code for the paper Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Using Deep Learning Based Segmentation Approaches and VHR Worldview-3 Images

Aim

In this research, we generated a new benchmark dataset from VHR Worldview-3 images for twelve different LULC classes of two different geographical locations. We evaluated the performance of different segmentation architectures and encoders to find out the best solution to create highly accurate LULC maps.

Framework

The framework of this study is detailed as follow.

System-specific notes

The code was implemented in Python(3.8) and PyTroch(1.14.0) on Windows OS. The segmentation models pytorch library is used as a baseline for implementation. Apart from main data science libraries, RS-specific libraries such as GDAL, rasterio, and tifffile are also required.
