Satellite image classification using deep learning model-ResNet

Data mining framework and artificial intelligence (AI) have played a key part in all decision-making scenarios. Due to the significant expenses associated with creating training and testing datasets, we need to deal with a number of issues, object recognition, classification, and semantic segmentation in images of low spatial resolution. In this paper we first reviewed the machine learning and deep learning-based model for satellite health monitoring systems. We built the deep learning model - for satellite image classification. The dataset used is Satellite Image Classification Dataset-RSI-CB256. Two variants, ResNet-12 and ResNet-18 were tested on the dataset. The ResNet-18 showed over 0.94 accuracy for 5 number of epochs and the ResNet-12 showed 0.92 accuracy for training over 10 number of epochs. The result shows that the choice of employing the ResNet CNN architecture for Satellite Image Classification is certainly better than employing other available models such as FCNN, RCNN (with F-RCNN).
