Scalable Computer Vision: Training Deep Segmentation Models for Infrastructure
High-throughput satellite and aerial image segmentation for municipal planning.
Executive Summary
Municipal and utility planning requires analyzing thousands of gigapixel aerial survey tiles to map roads and tree encroachment. BRVTECK developed a distributed vision pipeline that segments satellite imagery down to 0.1m precision with 94.8% mIoU accuracy.
