In our preprint we show a set of results that use the aforementioned datamodules and trainers to benchmark simple modeling approaches for several of the datasets in TorchGeo. For example, we find that a simple ResNet-50 can achieve state-of-the-art performance on the So2Sat dataset. These types of baseline results are important for evaluating the contribution of different modeling choices when tackling problems with remotely sensed data.
Future work and contributing
There is still a lot of remaining work to be done in order to make TorchGeo as easy to use as possible, especially for users without prior deep learning experience. One of the ways in which we plan to achieve this is by expanding our tutorials to include subjects like "writing a custom dataset" and "transfer learning", or tasks like "land cover mapping" and "object detection".
