Abstract

The preliminary investigation to expand the green space requires a lot of cost and time. In this paper, we solve the problem by measuring the ratio of green space in a specific region through a convolutional neural network based the green space classification using Google Earth images. First, the proposed method collects various region images in Google Earth and learns them by using the convolutional neural network. The proposed method divides the image recursively to measure the green space ratio of the specific region, and it determines whether the divided image is green space using a trained convolutional neural network model, and then the green space ratio is calculated using the regions determined as the green space. Experimental results show that the proposed method shows high performance in measuring green space ratios in various regions.

녹지 영역의 확충을 위한 사전 조사에는 많은 비용과 시간이 필요하다는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 구글 어스를 이용한 합성곱 신경망 기반의 녹지 분류를 통해 특정 지역의 녹지 비율을 측정함으로써 문제를 해결한다. 먼저 제안하는 방법은 구글 어스에서 여러 지역 영상을 수집하고 합성곱 신경망을 이용하여 학습한다. 제안하는 방법은 특정 지역의 녹지 비율을 측정하기 위해서 영상을 재귀적으로 분할하고 학습된 모델을 이용하여 녹지 여부를 판단한 뒤, 녹지로 판단된 영역 면적을 이용하여 녹지 비율을 계산한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 다양한 지역의 녹지 비율 측정에 높은 성능을 보여주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
