      Remote Sensing Analyst - Internship

      The internship focused on the analysis of the urban fabric using remote sensing data in order to detect buildings. Machine Learning techniques have been employed, with a strong focus on Deep Learning architectures, to absolve this task. Several tests have been conducted using a wide variety of Convolutional Neural Networks:- VGG16- ResNet- Inception- U-Net- Mask R-CNNThe datasets that have been utilised covered different data resolution as well as acquisition methods; some of the most important ones being:- EuroSAT (Sentinel-2)- UC_Merced (Aerial)- SpaceNet (WorldView-3)Results have shown that Mask R-CNN architecture together with high resolution satellite data would be the right combination to get the best results.CNN architectures have been implemented in Python using Tensorflow and Keras Deep Learning libraries.Furthermore, for analysing and processing the images, GDAL and geopandas libraries have been used. For graphics and visualization instead, holoviews and skimage have been employed. The main softwares for image processing and results visualization were QGIS, ENVI and SNAP. Mask R-CNN architecture has been trained using pre-trained weights, thus employing fine-tuning technique.As application case, the trained model has been applied to complete OpenStreetMap building layer using SpaceNet images over Paris area.Finally, the thesis work will be presented as a technical paper at the PEGASUS Student Conference in April 2022.
