Land Cover Classification from Satellite Imagery with U-Net and Lovasz-SoftMax Loss

Abstract

The land cover classification task of the DeepGlobe Challenge presents significant obstacles even to state of the art segmentation models due to a small amount of data, incomplete and sometimes incorrect labeling, and highly imbalanced classes. In this work, we show an approach based on the U-Net architecture with the Lov´asz-Softmax loss that successfully alleviates these problems; we compare several different convolutional architectures for U-Net encoders.
