About this technology

Overview

DELTA is a toolkit for applying deep learning to satellite imagery. Scientists label training imagery on a supported satellite, and the toolkit learns a deep neural network to address the problem. DELTA makes use of pre-trained autoencoders on supported satellites to jump-start training through a learned compressed representation of the data source. DELTA will be applied initially to flood mapping, as a component of the open source Crisis Mapping Toolkit.
