We propose an end-to-end framework for the dense, pixelwise classification of satellite imagery with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In our framework, CNNs are directly trained to produce classification maps out of the input images. We first devise a fully convolutional architecture and demonstrate its relevance to the dense classification problem. We then address the issue of imperfect training data through a two-step training approach: CNNs are first initialized by using a large amount of possibly inaccurate reference data, and then refined on a small amount of accurately labeled data. To complete our framework, we design a multiscale neuron module that alleviates the common tradeoff between recognition and precise localization. A series of experiments show that our networks consider a large amount of context to provide fine-grained classification maps.
