Multitask Learning of Height and Semantics From Aerial Images

Aerial or satellite imagery is a great source for land surface analysis, which might yield land-use maps or elevation models. In this letter, we present a neural network framework for learning semantics and local height together. We show how this joint multitask learning benefits to each task on the large data set of the 2018 Data Fusion Contest. Moreover, our framework also yields an uncertainty map that allows assessing the prediction of the model. Code is available at https://github.com/marcelampc/mtl_aerial_images
