Semantic labeling (or pixel-level land-cover classification) in ultrahigh-resolution imagery (<10 cm) requires statistical models able to learn high-level concepts from spatial data, with large appearance variations. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) achieve this goal by learning discriminatively a hierarchy of representations of increasing abstraction. In this paper, we present a CNN-based system relying on a downsample-thenupsample architecture. Specifically, it first learns a rough spatial map of high-level representations by means of convolutions and then learns to upsample them back to the original resolution by deconvolutions. By doing so, the CNN learns to densely label every pixel at the original resolution of the image. This res...
