• Abstract: A key challenge of supervised learning is the availability of human-labeled data. We evaluate a big data processing pipeline to auto-generate labels for remote sensing data. It is based on rasterized statistical features extracted from surveys such as e.g. LiDAR measurements. Using simple combinations of the rasterized statistical layers, it is demonstrated that multiple classes can be generated at accuracies of ~0.9. As proof of concept, we utilize the big geo-data platform IBM PAIRS to dynamically generate such labels in dense urban areas with multiple land cover classes. The general method proposed here is platform independent, and it can be adapted to generate labels for other satellite modalities in order to enable machine learning on overhead imagery for land use classification and object detection.

  Machine learning techniques have shown remarkable accuracy in localization tasks. Their dependency on vast amounts of labeled data, particularly Channel State Information (CSI) and corresponding coordinates, remains a bottleneck. We propose a pioneering approach that leverages self-supervised pretraining on unlabeled data to boost the performance of supervised learning for user localization based on CSI.

  This work implements an automatic pipeline for generating footpath networks based on remote sensing images using machine learning models. Considering supervised methods require large amounts of training data, we use a self-supervised method for feature representation learning to reduce annotation requirements. Footpath polygons are extracted and converted to footpath networks which can be loaded and visualized by geographic information systems conveniently.

  3D semantic data are useful for core perception tasks such as obstacle detection and ego-vehicle localization. We propose a new dataset, Navya 3D (Navya3DSeg), with a diverse label space corresponding to a large scale production grade operational domain. It contains 23 labeled sequences and 25 supplementary sequences without labels, designed to explore self-supervised and semi-supervised semantic segmentation benchmarks on point clouds.
