Method for Generating Land-cover Maps
18 Jan 24
A computer-implemented method for generating land-cover maps of an area, comprising: receiving a plurality of digital input images; performing semantic segmentation in the input images, segmenting each image individually and with a plurality of semantic classes, each semantic class being related to a land-cover class from a set of land-cover classes; identifying a set of single-image probability values of one or more of the semantic classes for at least a subset of the image pixels of the respective segmented image; generating a 3D mesh of the area based on the plurality of digital input images using a structure-from-motion algorithm; projecting the sets of single-image probability values on vertices of the 3D mesh; determining a set of overall probability values of one or more of the semantic classes.
