Dataset

Please follow the guideline to download and prepare the dataset. For the resolution issue, authors of SliceMatch has measured the resolution of all cities and revised the label. If you want to use this label, you may find it at their github repo.

Requirement

- Python >= 3.5, Opencv, Numpy, Matplotlib
- Tensorflow == 1.13.1 

Evaluation from npy

Download the same-area models and npy files from the link, unzip (tar -zxvf) it in "./data/". Then run the script:

python evaluate_from_npy.py

Training and evaluating from model

Download the initialization weights from ImageNet, put it in "./data/". Then run the script to train a simple SAFA baseline:

python train_SAFA.py

Run the script to train with our method:

python train_overall.py
