Abstract

In this paper, we propose a road detection method from satellite images by improving the U-Net using the difference of feature maps. U-Net has connections between convolutional layers and deconvolutional layers and concatenates feature maps at convolutional layer with those at deconvolutional layer. Here we introduce the difference of feature maps instead of the concatenation of feature maps. We evaluate our proposed method on road detection problem. Our proposed method obtained significant improvements in comparison with the U-Net.
