• Abstract: Land cover mapping is essential for monitoring global environmental change and managing natural resources. Unfortunately, traditional classification models are plagued by limited training data available in existing land cover products and data heterogeneity over space and time. In this survey, we provide a structured and comprehensive overview of challenges in land cover mapping and machine learning methods used to address these problems. We also discuss the gaps and opportunities that exist for advancing research in this promising direction.

  Land use/land cover (LULC) maps play a pivotal role in supporting agricultural territory management, environmental monitoring and sustainable decision-making. New ground truth data must be collected, leading to the complete disregard of previously gathered reference data. We propose a deep learning framework to combine remote sensing and reference data coming from two different domains.

  We present Embedding Earth a self-supervised contrastive pre-training method for leveraging the large availability of satellite imagery. We observe significant improvements up to 25% absolute mIoU when pre-trained with our proposed method. We find that learnt features can generalize between disparate regions opening up the possibility of using the proposed pre-training scheme.

  weakly supervised object localization and detection plays an important role for developing new generation computer vision systems. We review (1) classic models, (2) approaches with feature representations from off-the-shelf deep networks, (3) approaches solely based on deep learning, and (4) publicly available datasets and standard evaluation metrics that are widely used in this field. We discuss the key challenges in this field, development history of this field, advantages/disadvantages of the methods in each category, relationships between methods in different categories, applications of the weakly supervised object localization and detection methods, and potential future directions to further promote the development of this research field
