## Abstract (arXiv)

Building structures detection and information about these buildings in aerial images is an important solution for city planning and management, land use analysis. It can be the center piece to answer important questions such as planning evacuation routes in case of an earthquake, flood management, etc. These applications rely on being able to accurately retrieve up-to-date information. Being able to accurately detect buildings in a bounding box centered on a specific latitude-longitude value can help greatly. The key challenge is to be able to detect buildings which can be commercial, industrial, hut settlements, or skyscrapers. Once we are able to detect such buildings, our goal will be to cluster and categorize similar types of buildings together.
