Remote sensing for road detection Part 2: Improving the model and detecting changes
Near Infrared and Normalized Differential Vegetation Index bands improve predictions of SkyTruth’s automated road detection model.
In Part 2 of a two-part blog series, intern Sasha Bylsma explores whether adding spectral bands to SkyTruth’s road detection model improves the model’s predictions, and demonstrates the model’s ability to detect newly constructed roads in the Neuquen Basin of Argentina.
