EORC talk on Deep Learning for Semantic Segmentation in Urban Remote Sensing

EORC talk on Deep Learning for Semantic Segmentation in Urban Remote Sensing

July 23, 2025

On the 23rd of July, Dr. Ji Zhao gave a guest talk in our EORC talk seminar series. The lecture was titled “Deep Learning for Semantic Segmentation in Urban Remote Sensing: From Surface Water Mapping to Land Cover Classification“.

Here is the abstract of the presentation: Semantic segmentation plays a vital role in urban remote sensing for monitoring surface water dynamics and mapping land cover types. This talk introduces some deep learning-based methods developed for urban environments, including an unsupervised cross-sensor framework for large-scale water mapping, and a CNN–Mamba fusion network for land cover classification. These methods aim to improve segmentation accuracy, scalability, and generalization, providing solutions for environmental monitoring and geospatial analysis.
