training dataset information #50

Hello,

Could you please confirm if you use the labelled training data of same geographic location (US) to train your FCN network ? Second, as you mentioned that the training data was having resolution of 1ft/pixel, do you have to use same resolution images for predictions also or this trained work is able to generate building footprints on any resolution image ?

Thanks, Amardeep

Hi Amardeep, Yes we used only US labels in this project and the model was trained only on 1ft/pixel images. We have never tried inference on different resolutions, but the expectation is that it won't work good. Regards, Nikola

Thanks Nikola for taking out time to reply. Same expectation i have that it shouldnt work on other resolutions. could you share the network architecture information you are using for training, ?

It is a standard ResNet with RefineNet upsampling.

ok. Can you guide how we can generate separate masks for same class like instance segmentation using RefineNet as it is for Semantic segmentation like task. isnt it ? Is it fine If we use Mask RCNN for this task which is specifically for Instance Segmentation. do you think any benefit of using RefineNet over Mask RCNN ?
