Large Scale Datasets for Object Detection in Satellite Imagery

By imaging the entirety of Earth’s landmass every day at resolution and enabling on-demand follow up imagery at 80cm resolution, Planet offers a uniquely valuable dataset for creating datasets for imagery analytics over varied context. We introduce Planet imagery towards creating large scale datasets for object detection and localization and associated analytics. We describe workflows for data collection and aggregation and demonstrate the results of experiments with baseline state of the art deep lear
