Abstract

Even though the discussion on automation has balanced towards the believers, the available methods that have been published over the years are yet to be generally adopted in research and national mapping projects. In this paper a future perspective will be proposed on how we could improve the applicability of models and make these independent of particular objects, landscapes and type of remote sensing data. Especially with increasing project size in both variety of objects and input of remote sensing data more flexibility in models are required. These models would choose feature learning over feature engineering where the characteristics of the objects are no longer designed by the creator but learned from data. This approach will be exemplified with the design of a model for a national mapping agency which will not be optimised for one region but could instead be used across different landscape and object types. The eventual model should be able to adapt and include new site locations or remote sensing data to further improve its accuracy. In the end this future perspective is meant to inspire big projects to aim for long term solutions and thereby preferably include a feature learning approach.
