BoulderAreaDetector

Deploys a deep learning CNN classifying satellite imagery to streamlit for user testing.

  • The app is an MVP demo of BoulderSpot. The original idea for BoulderSpot originated in the June 2021 CASSINI Hackathon, that repo is here.
  • BoulderSpot uses a similar model to the one included here to classify whether aerial images are potential boulder areas or not. The class results are then used as part of a graph-like framework to analyze aerial imagery all across Switzerland. You can find more details on the website!

Model Stats - CNN Classifier

In short, the predictor under-the-hood is: fastai library using a convolutional neural network trained on a labeled dataset of several thousand images with two classes (climb_area, other). Source image data for training is mostly arial (possibly some satellite) sampled from Switzerland.

Note: the model deployed in the streamlit app has changed. the original model used in this app was ResNet101 and the trained model file is ~170 MB. As GitHub has limits / special rules around files greater than 100 mb in size, the model has been updated to MixNet-XL, which exhibits similar performance but is smaller (in parameters, and therefore file size).

Also included in the repo is a zipped model file of a trained Big Transfer model that is more accurate than either of the two. As this model is > 100 mb and streamlit unzipping+predicting performance is yet to be tested, it is not deployed to the app yet, but can be used locally.

A decent writeup on how to create, train, and save a fastai computer vision model is in this Medium article. BoulderAreaDetector uses a decently sized labeled dataset (several thousand satellite images, each 256x256 in the two classes), but has not had any significant level of hyperparameter optimization yet beyond fast. ai basics.

Details on Original ResNet101 Fine-Tuned Model

This was the original model that was replaced as the file size was too large.
