Forests play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change as well as contributing to the socio-economic activities of many countries. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to monitor forest cover. Traditional machine learning classifiers for segmenting images lack the ability to extract features such as the spatial relationship between pixels and texture, resulting in subpar segmentation results when used alone.

Object detection in remotely sensed satellite images is critical to socio-economic, bio-physical, and environmental monitoring, necessary for the prevention of natural disasters such as flooding and fires, socio-economic service delivery, and general urban and rural planning and management. Whereas deep learning approaches have recently gained popularity in remotely sensed image analysis, they have been unable to efficiently detect image objects due to complex landscape heterogeneity, high inter-class similarity and intra-class diversity, and difficulty in acquiring suitable training data that represents the complexities, among others. To address these challenges, this study employed multi-object detection deep learning algorithms with a transfer learning approach on remotely sensed satellite imagery captured on a heterogeneous landscape.
