Abstract
TaxData combined remote sensing, computer vision, and a user-facing web platform to help tax officials identify constructed land from satellite imagery. The project assembled approximately 30,000 Google Earth images, including 3,000 manually labeled examples, and trained a constructed-versus-non-constructed classifier that achieved 92% accuracy. The resulting interface allowed officials to define regions of interest and inspect current model outputs, reducing reported survey time by 70%.
