• Abstract summary: Building segmentation of satellite images can be used for many potential applications such as city, agricultural, and communication network planning. We trained several models in China and post-processing work was done on the best model selected among them. As can be seen from the results, although state-of-art results in this area have not been achieved, the results are promising.

• Abstract: Researchers are doing intensive work on satellite images due to the information it contains with the development of computer vision algorithms and the ease of accessibility to satellite images. Building segmentation of satellite images can be used for many potential applications such as city, agricultural, and communication network planning. However, since no dataset exists for every region, the model trained in a region must gain generality. In this study, we trained several models in China and post-processing work was done on the best model selected among them. These models are evaluated in the Chicago region of the INRIA dataset. As can be seen from the results, although state-of-art results in this area have not been achieved, the results are promising. We aim to present our initial experimental results of a building segmentation from satellite images in this study.

  CrossViewDiff is a cross-view diffusion model for satellite-to-street view synthesis. To address the challenges posed by the large discrepancy across views, we design the satellite scene structure estimation and cross-view texture mapping modules. To achieve a more comprehensive evaluation of the synthesis results, we additionally design a GPT-based scoring method.

  BD-SAT is a high-resolution dataset that includes pixel-by-pixel LULC annotations for Dhaka metropolitan city and surrounding rural/urban areas. Using a strict and standardized procedure, the ground truth is created using Bing satellite imagery with a ground spatial distance of 2.22 meters per pixel. The results show that the annotated BD-SAT is sufficient to train large deep learning models with adequate accuracy for five major LULC classes.
