HED-UNet

Code for HED-UNet, a model for simultaneous semantic segmentation and edge detection.

Glacier Fronts

This model was originally developed to detect calving front margins in Antarctica from Sentinel-1 SAR imagery.

Building Footprints

As the original dataset isn't publicly available, this repository contains an adaption of the model for building footprint extraction on the Inria Aerial Image Labeling dataset. Here are some example results:

Bloomington

Innsbruck

San Francisco

Usage

In order to use this for your project, you will need adapt either the get_dataloader function in train.py or the methods in data_loading.py.
