Satellite images have a very high resolution, which make their automatic processing computationally costly, and they suffer from artifacts making their processing difficult. This paper describes a method for the effective semantic segmentation of satellite images, and compares different object classifiers in terms of accuracy and execution time. In the paper, the image spectrum is used to reduce the computational cost during the segmentation and classification steps. Firstly, artifacts are corrected from the satellite images for facilitating the feature extraction process. After this, semantic representation is used to gather the semantic regions of downscaled images. As the images are very large, this scaling down significantly reduces the computing time with little degradation in the coarse object detection results. A deep neural forest classifier finds potential regions before executing the pixel-based segmentation. Finally, in our experiments, boundary detection and several classifiers are evaluated to find the objects associated with these regions. The paper details the set-up for our tree-based convolutional neural network. The results indicate that this tree-based convolutional neural network outperforms the other surveyed techniques in the literature.

Background: Sentiment analysis is a contextual mining of text which determines viewpoint of users with respect to some sentimental topics commonly present at social networking websites. Twitter is one of the social sites where people express their opinion about any topic in the form of tweets. These tweets can be examined using various sentiment classification methods to find the opinion of users. Traditional sentiment analysis methods use manually extracted features for opinion classification. The manual feature extraction process is a complicated task since it requires predefined sentiment lexicons. On the other hand, deep learning methods automatically extract relevant features from data hence; they provide better performance and richer representation competency than the traditional methods. Objective: The main aim of this paper is to enhance the sentiment classification accuracy and to reduce the computational cost. Method: To achieve the objective, a hybrid deep learning model, based on convolution neural network and bi-directional long-short term memory neural network has been introduced. Results: The proposed sentiment classification method achieves the highest accuracy for the most of the datasets. Further, from the statistical analysis efficacy of the proposed method has been validated. Conclusion: Sentiment classification accuracy can be improved by creating veracious hybrid models. Moreover, performance can also be enhanced by tuning the hyper parameters of deep leaning models.

This paper suggests an algorithm for extracting the location of a building from satellite imagery and using that information to modify the roof content. The materials are determined by measuring the conditions where the building is located and detecting the position of a building in broad satellite images. Depending on the incomplete roof or material, there is a greater possibility of great damage caused by disaster situations or external shocks. To address these problems, we propose an algorithm to detect roofs and classify materials in satellite images. Satellite imaging locates areas where buildings are likely to exist based on roads. Using images of the detected buildings, we classify the material of the roof using a proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) model algorithm consisting of 43 layers. In this paper, we propose a CNN structure to detect areas with buildings in large images and classify roof materials in the detected areas.

We present a sample-efficient image segmentation method using active learning, we call it Active Bayesian UNet, or AB-UNet. This is a convolutional neural network using batch normalization and max-pool dropout. The Bayesian setup is achieved by exploiting the probabilistic extension of the dropout mechanism, leading to the possibility to use the uncertainty inherently present in the system. We set up our experiments on various medical image datasets and highlight that with a smaller annotation effort our AB-UNet leads to stable training and better generalization. Added to this, we can efficiently choose from an unlabelled dataset.
