• Authors: Minho Kim, Doyoung Jeong, Hyoungwoo Choi, Yongil Kim
• Abstract summary: Two out of three people will be living in urban areas by 2050, as projected by the United Nations. Common urban footprint data provide high-resolution city extents but lack essential information on the distribution, pattern, and characteristics. This study developed a custom Local Climate Zone (LCZ) data to map key Korean cities using a multi-scale convolutional neural network.

• Abstract: Two out of three people will be living in urban areas by 2050, as projected by the United Nations, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban development and monitoring. Common urban footprint data provide high-resolution city extents but lack essential information on the distribution, pattern, and characteristics. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) offers an efficient and standardized framework that can delineate the internal structure and characteristics of urban areas. Global-scale LCZ mapping has been explored, but are limited by low accuracy, variable labeling quality, or domain adaptation challenges. Instead, this study developed a custom LCZ data to map key Korean cities using a multi-scale convolutional neural network. Results demonstrated that using a novel, custom LCZ data with deep learning can generate more accurate LCZ map results compared to conventional community-based LCZ mapping with machine learning as well as transfer learning of the global So2Sat dataset.

  We build a new set of multimodal remote sensing benchmark datasets (including hyperspectral, multispectral, SAR) for the study purpose of the cross-city semantic segmentation task. Beyond the single city, we propose a high-resolution domain adaptation network, HighDAN, to promote the AI model's generalization ability from the multi-city environments. HighDAN is capable of retaining the spatially topological structure of the studied urban scene well in a parallel high-to-low resolution fusion fashion.

  Human Settlement Extent (HSE) and Local Climate Zone (LCZ) maps are essential sources, e.g., for sustainable urban development and Urban Heat Island (UHI) studies. Remote sensing (RS)- and deep learning (DL)-based classification approaches play a significant role by providing the potential for global mapping. Most of the efforts only focus on one of the two schemes, usually on a specific scale. In this letter, the concept of multi-task learning (MTL) is introduced to HSE regression and LCZ classification for the first time.
