Multi-Region Transfer Learning for Segmentation of Crop Field Boundaries in Satellite Images with Limited Labels

Authors: Hannah Rae Kerner, Saketh Sundar, Manthan Satish

This repository contains the code implementation for the paper "Multi-Region Transfer Learning for Segmentation of Crop Field Boundaries in Satellite Images with Limited Labels" accepted at the 2023 AAAI Workshop on AI to Accelerate Science and Engineering (AI2ASE) 2023.

Usage

Environment Setup

To create a new environment, utilize the provided YAML file:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Downloading Data

Use the links below to download the data for each region. Some contain only the labels while others contain the images as well

<!-- - [Data for South Africa]() -->

Place the downloaded data in the data folder.

Download Images from Google Earth Engine (GEE):

Utilize the .js script located in data_helpers/gee_images_downloader.js to download images from Google Earth Engine.

Processing Data

The data should be stored in the data folder. It will be stored in the following structure:

It will look something like this:

data
├── country
│   ├── images_mar
│   │   ├── image_1.png
│   │   ├── image_2.png
│   │   ├── ...
│   ├── images_jun
│   │   ├── image_1.png
│   │   ├── image_2.png
│   │   ├── ...
│   ├── images_sep
│   │   ├── image_1.png
│   │   ├── image_2.png
│   │   ├── ...
│   ├── masks

│   ├── masks_filled
│   │   ├── image_1.png
│   │   ├── image_2.png
│   │   ├── ...
├── ...

Training

To train the model, run the following command:

python train.py --config config.yaml

Fine Tuning

To fine tune the model, run the following command:

python fine_tune.py --config config.yaml

Testing

To test the model, run the following command:

python test.py --config config.yaml

Inference

To run inference on the model, run the following command:

python inference.py --config config.yaml
