However, the vast majority of the approaches rely on very high-resolution satellite imagery (&lt;2.5 m) whose costs are not yet affordable for maintaining up-to-date maps. Working with the limited spatial resolution provided by high-resolution satellite imagery such as Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 (10 m) makes it hard to detect buildings and roads, since these labels may coexist within the same pixel. This paper focuses on this problem and presents a novel methodology capable of detecting building and roads with sub-pixel width by increasing the resolution of the output masks. This methodology consists of fusing Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data (at 10 m) together with OpenStreetMap to train deep learning models for building and road detection at 2.5 m. This becomes possible thanks to the usage of OpenStreetMap vector data, which can be rasterized to any desired resolution. Accordingly, a few simple yet effective modifications of the U-Net architecture are proposed to not only semantically segment the input image, but also to learn how to enhance the resolution of the output masks. As a result, generated mappings quadruplicate the input spatial resolution, closing the gap between satellite and aerial imagery for building and road detection. To properly evaluate the generalization capabilities of the proposed methodology, a data-set composed of 44 cities across the Spanish territory have been considered and divided into training and testing cities. Both quantitative and qualitative results show that high-resolution satellite imagery can be used for sub-pixel width building and road detection following the proper methodology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,8]],"date-time":"2021-08-08T21:35:40Z","timestamp":1628458540000},"page":"3135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["A Deep Learning Approach to an Enhanced Building Footprint and Road Detection in High-Resolution Satellite Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5229-9636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Ayala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tracasa Instrumental, Calle Cab\u00e1rceno 6, 31621 Sarriguren, Spain"}]},{"given":"Rub\u00e9n","family":"Sesma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tracasa Instrumental, Calle Cab\u00e1rceno 6, 31621 Sarriguren, Spain"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Aranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tracasa Instrumental, Calle Cab\u00e1rceno 6, 31621 Sarriguren, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2865-6549","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikel","family":"Galar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Smart Cities (ISC), Public University of Navarre (UPNA), Arrosadia Campus, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1117\/1.JRS.11.042609","article-title":"A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community","volume":"11","author":"Ball","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
