The SpaceNet Challenge building footprint algorithms are optimized for IOU scoring and the F1 metric. An incorrect building footprint proposal causes a false positive and a false negative, while missed building footprints (not proposed) is only a false negative. 2 Crowdsourcing communities could include OSM 3 On 11/02/ In- Q- Tel, Inc. 12

13 SpaceNet : What s Next New Challenges: 1. Fall 2017: Expansion of foundational mapping: road network detection & routing 2. Winter 2018: Explore the effect of off- nadir imagery on mapping problems New Labeled Datasets & Algorithms Benchmarking: o Benchmarking building extraction against crowdsourcing and winning algorithms + crowdsourced improvements o Foundational mapping: Road network extraction o High revisit collection: Explore the effect of off- nadir imagery o New modalities/ sensors o Long- term hosting of related competition data 2017 In- Q- Tel, Inc. 13

14 Road Detection & Routing Competition 2017 In- Q- Tel, Inc. 14

15 Automated Road Extraction for Routing Determining optimal routing paths is at the heart of many humanitarian, civil, and military challenges Current methods for building road networks rely heavily upon mobile phone location services and manual labeling We aim to automatically determine road networks directly from satellite imagery The SpaceNet Roads Challenge will use the Average Path Length Similarity Metric (APLS) to evaluate road network proposals 2017 In- Q- Tel, Inc. 15

16 SpaceNetV3 Public Data Set Built upon the imagery of SpaceNetV2 Release: Imagery: 30cm WV- 3 single strip images + 8- band MSI Total Road centerlines: Over 8,000 km covering a 3,880 km2 AOI across for 4 additional cities: Las Vegas, Paris, Shanghai, and Khartoum Las Vegas Paris Shanghai Khartoum 270 km2 1,560 km2 1,170 km2 800 km2 69GB Raster Data 402GB Raster Data 302GB Raster Data 373GB Raster Data 109,807 Footprints 16,663 Footprints 69,433 Footprints 25,463 Footprints 3686 km Roads 425 km Roads 3000 km Roads 1032 km Roads In- Q- Tel, Inc. 16
