Extensive review of literature helped to better understand MBDA’s requirement of exploring the use of deep learning in terrain classification. It is understood that there is proliferating research due to commercial potential of very high value. 1. Approach As Digital Surface Model dataset was chosen by MBDA for the task, image classification had to be ruled out. The dataset had semantic segmentation ground truth for DSM raster and the task boiled down to interpreting the class label from elevation values contained in each pixel. Though a few semantic segmentation architectures are available, U-net architecture was chosen for implementation. This was due to two reasons: (1) It is currently trending and widely accepted for its high accuracy …show more content…
Therefore, they had to be sampled to generate smaller sub-images (aka patches) with overlapping boundaries; this would avoid loss of spatial information in the boundary. PAGE 26 Figure6: Input down sampling: Besides the yellow bounded area, orange area was also sampled to avoid loss of information at the cropping boundary. 3. Most of the existing U-net implementation available for reference was for binary segmentation and the model training for multi-label segmentation wasn’t easy. Training was very hard due to the huge number of parameters that had to be trained. Therefore, a lot of customisation was needed to realise good results while training and testing. 4. Though the chosen deep learning framework – Tensorflow – is quite popular, it is still in its nascent stages and lacked a few features that made model training gruesome for some complex tasks. For e.g. lack of NumPy like indexing in Python, inadequate support for multi-label implementations etc. consumed a lot of time during model training to tide over the difficulties. 3. Model Implementation The U-net (Ronneberger et al., 2015) extends the typical sliding-window convolutional neural network architecture and aids pixel level classification. The original DSM was downsampled by using a sliding window approach to extract pixels of size 572 x 572 with a stride of 286. This
In accession to the binary images, the proposed method may be tested on discrete color images also. These type of
Dr. Ahrendt noted the huge advancements that have been made over the last decade, but made sure to note that the math behind AI and machine learning is quite old mathematics. “Now that we can compute things so quickly… we can see the bloom of AI and machine learning.”
To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

The Constitution declares that “no Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States” and does not offer any ideas or suggestions for what to call the new chief executive that was created. Americans—especially anti-federalists who were in opposition to the Constitution—worried a great deal about freedom’s fate under a president who possessed the powers of a monarch and who would live in a kind of court whose language and manners would separate it from the rest of the community. But, as Bartoloni-Tuazon states in her prehistory of the controversy, “Americans were already quite used to status differentiations because titles distinguishing military rank, occupational status, and political office had long been “en- trenched in the

Over the past few decades the United States has moved away from its libertarian roots and has moved closer to an oligarchy ran by the few. In this way it is a government for the people, rather than by the people. One specific event has changed American politics forever, this was the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. On this day, the United States came under direct attack by terrorists. In the months and years after, the government pounced on the opportunity to grow government under the false pretense of “security” through the Patriot Act and invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result, average working class American citizens are now forced to fund a perpetual War on Terror and hand over their private communication
Hence the trained data sets play important role in deciding the performance of CTB model.
The objective of the neural network is to transform the input to meaningful output. Neural networks are often used for statistical analysis and data modeling. Neural network has many uses in data processing, robotics, and medical diagnosis [2]. From the starting of the neural network there are various types found, but each and every types has some advantages and disadvantages. Deep learning and -neural network software are the categories of artificial neural network. The parallel process also allows ANNs to process the large amount of data very efficiently. The artificial neural network is built with a systematic
Around the same time, Soviet Russia would decry the nonaggression pact that had come into existence 20 years prior and would only honor it under the condition that Turkey give away three eastern provinces and allow for “common defense” bases on the Straits (Gülek, 2016). This occurred before Japan surrendered and when Kremlin’s influence in the world was at an all-time high. The Turkish government rejected their offer, risking being left alone by Western Democracies (Gülek, 2016). The situation took a turn for the worse when Soviet Russia began building satellites on Turkey’s borders which generated lively discussion (and arguments) among different party members. The general elections of 1946 would ensue during this intense atmosphere and
Supervised classification method was applied to Vailala Block 3 Landsat AGP images from 1995 to 2015. This method allows the user to identify training areas that are used to teach the image on what pixel range to be classified according to user LULC descriptions (Samanta et al., 2011). For this study the parametric method know as maximum likelihood under the decision rule statistical approach was used to run all the supervised classification from 1995 and 2015.
The moment the family got to their new home Anna just wanted to get off the car.It had been a long trip and she just wanted to have some time alone. Joseph,her brother had been crying the whole trip because he was sad that he would not see his friends again. They had been going through hard times.Many of her friends back in her old school had told her how the nazi government had shorted their food due to the war that was going on. They had moved to the new house because her dad had gotten a new job as an officer in a concentration camp. She heard her dad talking once about what went on in there but she didn't pay much attention because she didn't want to know anything about her dad’s work. She didn't liked his work because he was never
Asher was a normal kid, until a new teacher walked in. Her name was Mrs.Waters. She looked like she just woke up, hair in matts, and could not walk in a straight line. “I am your new teacher!” She announced proudly. One of the kids in the class raised their hands. “Yes?” Mrs.Waters asked in the rudest way possible. The kid asked “What happened to our old teacher. She said she had to go to the doctors office.” “Well, your teacher has a permanent sickness called fungli, so she has to stay home”, again she said in rude tone. Asher asked “Why are you wearing sunglasses inside?” The teacher said in her tone “ I am a chromophobic, meaning I have a fear of colors, so don't make fun of me. Also I have a fear of names so I will never learn your
