Objective

Extracting Electrical Substations from high resolution satellite images

Methodology

Used SegNet architecture for this image segmentation task. SegNet has 2 subparts in it - encoder and decoder. The encoder of SegNet is replaced with encoder of VGG-19 to get better results.

Results

Reached

• 97% training accuracy
• 0.689956 IoU on test images

Placed within the top 10 positions of the competition leaderboard
