Lessons Learned Training Object Detection Models on Satellite Imagery

Roger FONG Computer Vision Scientists at Picterra
SwissAI Machine Learning Meetup 2018.10.15

Some of the addressed themes:

1. How Can We Use Satellite and Drone Images?

2. What Models And Datasets Can We Use to Learn How to Label Objects On Satellite Images?

3. What Is YOLO - You Only Look Once, Real-Time Object Detection Model

4. What Are The Solutions to Common Problems When Analysing Satellite Images with YOLO?

Abstract: Satellite imagery provides a wealth of visual information but without the proper tools, it can be daunting to understand. Our mission at Picterra is to provide deep learning empowered tools that are capable of analyzing these images and providing valuable information to our customers. In this talk, we will focus on the challenges of object detection from satellite imagery and our approach to the problem. https://picterra.ch
