A Concise Tiling Strategy for Preserving Spatial Context in Earth Observation Imagery

arXiv:2404.10927v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a new tiling strategy, Flip-n-Slide, which has been developed for specific use with large Earth observation satellite images when the location of objects-of-interest (OoI) is unknown and spatial context can be necessary for class disambiguation. Flip-n-Slide is a concise and minimalistic approach that allows OoI to be represented at multiple tile positions and orientations. This strategy introduces multiple views of spatio-contextual information, without introducing redundancies into the training set. By maintaining distinct transformation …
