Extracting tiles and masks from an orthomosaic for semantic segmentation
This tutorial shows how to extract tiles and masks from an orthomosaic ahead of training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for semantic segmentation. To train such a CNN, one would usually start with: * a high-resolution RGB orthomosaic (e.g. GeoTiff) * a polygon layer of species annotations (e.g. a shapefile or other vector format) * a polygon layer showing the areas of interest or plots in which annotations were made (optional) The goal is to create: * tiles of fixed size (e.g. 512 x 512 pixels) storing the RGB information (e.g. three-band raster, as GeoTiff) * masks of annotations for the same tiles with the species information (e.g. single-band raster, as GeoTiff) These tiles can be restricted to areas of interest in which annotations were made, as shown in this tutorial.
