Abstract

Identifying the economic situation at sub-regional level has always been a challenge due to data constraints. In this paper we show the potential of remote sensing technologies to provide a possible solution to this problem. In this paper, we use the approach of using convolutional neural networks and transfer learning to process satellite imagery of the towns of West Bengal which can be used to predict its economic development indicator values.
