March 2018: Land use classification using the data from 2018_IEEE_GRSS_Data_Fusion. Also submitted the result. codes in "grss_data_fusion". The method utilized Deeplab V4(+3), a semantic segmentation algorithm, to classify land use (20 classes).

August 2018: Delineate retrogressive thaw slumps from Planet CubeSat images.

This is a personal repo that we are actively developing. It may not work as expected. We have all the settings on our workstations and servers. You need to spend some efforts on environment settings on your computers before running these codes. These codes are only for research, and please take risks by yourself.

We will update some of the codes, including bug fix and enhancement because they are used in other projects.
