CanadianBuildingFootprints

Following our release of US buildings footprints last year, we’ve been looking for new markets to apply our techniques, and opportunities to continue our commitment to the open data community. As a result, the Bing Maps Team collaborated with Statistics Canada to deliver these 12 million building footprints, released as Open Data!To handle the different challenges present in Canada compared to the prior US results set, the team expanded their approach by iterating on the segmentation-based solution built on CNTK to tune its performance to the different data set.
