The data sets contain building, road, tree, low vegetation/grass, cars, and artificial ground.
A small part test data, of which area is about 51268.3m2, is merely selected from original data sets as entire data amount is too large.
A false positive (FP) is where the detected road result that is not in the reference data.
For correctness, a buffer is constructed around the detected road data and reference road data lying in the buffer are taken as matched.

The FFB is applied with a few data to check the suitability of ANN in the ISF Process too.

The oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode-PEM interface is the main limiting factor for PEMFC performance and efficiency.
Specifically, the Fe 3+/Fe 2+ redox couple was chosen, with the following cathode reaction: Fe 3+(aq) + e ⇌ Fe 2+(aq) (eq.1) The redox cathode species has the following advantages over the conventional PEMFC cathode: - No noble metal catalyst is needed, carbon based materials can be used for Fe 3+ reduction - Enables the use of a three dimensional electrode structure (high surface area) - No need for a complex three-phase zone for oxygen reduction - Very fast kinetics at the cathode with high exchange current density - No water management, humidification, or cooling concerns (liquid catholyte) - Possibility of less expensive membranes and simpler flow field/cell designs All of these advantages can result in fuel cell system simplification and cost reduction.
