MAP FEATURE EXTRACTION SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER MAP VISUALIZATIONS

A feature extraction system extracts map features from an aerial image. The feature extraction system receives an aerial image having pixels and predicts, for each pixel, a probability that the pixel corresponds to a map feature based on a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to determine a probability that a pixel corresponds to the map feature based on a training dataset comprising pairs of aerial images and corresponding mask images that describe known instances of the map feature. The feature extraction system identifies a subset of pixels of the plurality of pixels. Each pixel in the subset has a predicted probability that is greater than or equal to a threshold probability that a pixel corresponds to the map feature. The feature extraction system further determines a bounded geometry enclosing the identified subset of pixels, the bounding geometry encompassing an instance of the map feature.
