Geospatial images: Maps and earth observation imagery

MapReader was developed for maps and geospatial images.

Classification of one-inch OS maps

../../_images/tutorial_classification_one_inch_maps_001.png

We have provided two examples of how to use MapReader to identify railspace patches in one-inch OS maps. Both examples demonstrate how to use MapReader with maps hosted on a tileserver.

Our examples show a full end-to-end use of the MapReader pipeline, including downloading, loading and patchifying map images, annotating patches to create training data, training a model and using the model to classify patches.

The classification_one_inch_maps example demonstrates how to use MapReader to classify patches using a standard patch-level classification model in which patches are used as inputs to the model. It can be found here.

The context_classification_one_inch_maps example demonstrates how to use MapReader to classify patches using a context-level classification model in which patches and their surrounding patches (i.e. context) are used as inputs to the model. It can be found here.

Workshop notebooks

In the worked examples directory, we also have a number of notebooks that were used in our workshops. These are not updated to align with the most recent version of MapReader, but instead they are dated and contain information about the MapReader version used at the time of the workshop.

If you want to run one of these you will need to install the version of MapReader that was used at the time of the workshop.
