Road Network Extraction in Africa
The presence and state of road networks are key indicators in socioeconomic analyses using remote sensing data. At Atlas AI, we developed a low cost ROad SEgmentation (ROSE) method using state of the art deep learning technology that delivers primary, secondary and thryicary roads from 5m resolution monthly-issued basemaps of Africa - NICFI @ Planet.
The images above demonstrate some key results over Nairobi, Kenya for the year 2022. Segments in white, show the refined inference results (noise removed) and those in red are the results of our auto-complete algorithm
