U-Net-Based Satellite Image Segmentation for Geospatial Applications

Abstract—This research presents an integrated framework for satellite image retrieval, segmentation, and visualization, utilizing Python-based algorithms and geospatial data processing methods. It incorporates Google Maps-based image acquisition, a Tkinter-powered interactive GUI, and the U-Net segmentation model to efficiently process satellite imagery. Satellite image segmentation, powered by U-Net, plays a vital role in geospatial analysis, enabling automated classification and extraction of key features from high-resolution imagery. The framework facilitates seamless high-resolution map generation, segmentation, and an- alytical visualization through interactive tools like bar graphs and pie charts. By leveraging U-Net’s robust architecture, this implementation enhances segmentation accuracy and supports applications in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster management. Through the automation of retrieval, processing, and visualization of satellite imagery, this research advances geospatial intelligence and provides a scalable solution for efficient image segmentation workflows.
