Abstract

Land typology classification is one of the main challenges of Land Registries all around the world. This process has historically been carried out by hand, requiring a large workforce and long processing times. Satellite imagery is shaking up the information retrieval methods for rural areas, where automatic algorithms have also been developed for land categorisation, but never for urban areas. This study provides an algorithm which can potentially speed up the decision-making process, reduce and detect biases; by automatically classifying images of houses facades into land registry categories. Convolutional Neural Networks are combined with a SVM and trained with over 5,000 labelled images. Success rate is above 85% and single image processing time is of the order of milliseconds. Results make it possible to reduce operating costs and to improve the classification performance by taking the human factor out of the equation.
