Determination of Population Density Using Convoluted Neural Networks

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an image on a computing device. The computing device may further execute a classification algorithm to determine whether a target feature is present in the received image. As an example, the classification algorithm may determine whether a building is depicted in the received image. In response to determining that a target feature is present, the method further includes using a segmentation algorithm to segment the received image for the target feature. Based on a determined footprint size of the target feature, a distribution of statistical information over the target feature in the image can be calculated.
