Join the OpenCities AI Challenge and Detect Building Footprints from Aerial Imagery

We partnered with Driven Data and the World Bank to develop the Open Cities AI Challenge. This competition asks contestants to build semantic segmentation models that identify buildings in aerial imagery from several African cities. In other words, the goal is to automatically extract building footprints from each image. Contestants will be judged on the quality of their predictions and will be competing for a share of a combined $15,000 cash prize. Disaster relief efforts rely on accurate and up-to-date infrastructure maps.
