Abstract

National Mapping agencies (NMA) are tasked with providing highly accurate geospatial data for a range of customers. This challenge has traditionally been met by combining remote sensing data gathering, field work and manual interpretation and processing of the data. This is a significant logistical undertaking which requires novel approaches to improve potential feature extraction from the available data. Using research undertaken at Great Britain’sNMA, Ordnance Survey (OS)as an example, this paper provides an overview of recent advances in the use of artificial intelligence (AI)to assist in improving feature classification from remotely sensed aerial imagery, describing research using high level neural network architecture to image classification that utilisesconvolutional neural network learning.
