Abstract

Satellite imagery has been transforming our understanding and prediction of global economic activity with evolution in hardware and in much less cost for rocket launching enabling near real time and high resolution coverage across the earth. It is impractical to analyse petabytes of satellite imagery manually, requiring automated solutions with higher accuracy and prediction speed, essential for latency sensitive industrial applications. Enhancement in recognition model design, training and complexity regularization, along with a Multi-Level Convolutional neural network architecture optimized for satellite imagery, the proposed model has made it possible to deliver fivefold improvement in training time and rapid prediction of 20 classes which is necessary for real-time applications. We have substantiated the proficiency through reviewing algorithmic trading environments and release a proprietary annotated satellite imagery dataset for further research. Satellite imagery play influential roles in disaster response, law enforcement, and environmental monitoring. Demanding automated object identification because of its coverage across the globe's geography. The Multi-Level Convolutional Neural Network, as proposed, underwent training with a training dataset comprising 7000 images (350 images for each of the classes), achieving a training accuracy of 98.14%. Upon evaluation on a separate test dataset consisting of 3000 images (150 images per class), the model demonstrated an overall accuracy of 95%. Moreover, each class is predicted with an accuracy of 99% when tested individually. The whole implementation is carried out in Python using Keras, TensorFlow, and Gocolab with GPU and High RAM.
