This hands-on course proves that deep learning isn't just about pressing "run" on a model. It's about turning satellite imagery into actual, useful insights. You'll work with convolutional neural networks for land cover classification, fine-tune a pre-trained CNN using transfer learning, use data augmentation to improve performance, and apply Grad-CAM to see where the model is actually looking. Along the way, you'll practice translating raw satellite imagery into insights you can clearly communicate to others. You are required to have basic Python programming, familiarity with machine learning concepts, and introductory knowledge of neural networks and image data. Designed for beginners in machine learning and remote sensing, Deep Learn Imagery builds your confidence in both working with deep learning and explaining what your models are doing.
In this module, you will apply transfer learning techniques to fine-tune a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) for land cover classification using satellite imagery. The module focuses on adapting existing vision models to geospatial data under real-world constraints such as limited labeled samples, class imbalance, and spatial generalization challenges.

Coursera brings together a diverse network of subject matter experts who have demonstrated their expertise through professional industry experience or strong academic backgrounds. These instructors design and teach courses that make practical, career-relevant skills accessible to learners worldwide.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
