Satellite Image Semantic Segmentation

Eric Guérin, Killian Oechslin, Christian Wolf, Benoît Martinez

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method for the automatic semantic segmentation of satellite images into six classes (sparse forest, dense forest, moor, herbaceous formation, building, and road). We rely on Swin Transformer architecture and build the dataset from IGN open data. We report quantitative and qualitative segmentation results on this dataset and discuss strengths and limitations. The dataset and the trained model are made publicly available.
