This article reports our progress to utilize artificial neural networks (ANN) for change detection of OSM data to update the map. Furthermore, we aim at identifying geospatial regions where mappers need to focus on completing the global OSM dataset. Our approach is technically backed by the big geospatial data platform Physical Analytics Integrated Repository and Services (PAIRS). We employ supervised training of deep ANNs from vertical aerial imagery to segment scenes based on OSM map tiles to evaluate the technique quantitatively and qualitatively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi9070427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,3]],"date-time":"2020-07-03T06:51:20Z","timestamp":1593759080000},"page":"427","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Change Detection from Remote Sensing to Guide OpenStreetMap Labeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Conrad M.","family":"Albrecht","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"Freitag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hendrik F.","family":"Hamann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9497-1403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Levente J.","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Finkler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Marianno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Schmude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norman","family":"Bobroff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Siebenschuh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siyuan","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 1101 Kitchawan Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, June 25).
