Exploring selective image matching methods for zero-shot and few-sample unsupervised domain adaptation of urban canopy prediction

no code implementations16 Apr 2024 John Francis, Stephen Law

We explore simple methods for adapting a trained multi-task UNet which predicts canopy cover and height to a new geographic setting using remotely sensed data without the need of training a domain-adaptive classifier and extensive fine-tuning.
