Semantic segmentation is in-demand in satellite imagery processing. Because
of the complex environment, automatic categorization and segmentation of land
cover is a challenging problem. Solving it can help to overcome many obstacles
in urban planning, environmental engineering or natural landscape monitoring.
In this paper, we propose an approach for automatic multi-class land
segmentation based on a fully convolutional neural network of feature pyramid
network (FPN) family. This network is consisted of pre-trained on ImageNet
Resnet50 encoder and neatly developed decoder. Based on validation results,
leaderboard score and our own experience this network shows reliable results
for the DEEPGLOBE - CVPR 2018 land cover classification sub-challenge.
Moreover, this network moderately uses memory that allows using GTX 1080 or
1080 TI video cards to perform whole training and makes pretty fast
predictions.

提出了一种基于完全卷积神经网络的自动多类土地分割方法，该网络具有良好的准确性和中等的内存使用率，可用于解决城市规划、环境工程或自然景观监测等问题。
