Swimming pools significantly influence property values and are important for accurate property tax assessments. Local government tax assessors often rely on costly and infrequent surveys, which can lead to inaccurate assessments. Identifying pools that are missing from assessment records, such as newly built ones, helps assessors improve accuracy and increase community revenue.

This deep learning model automates the detection of swimming pools from high-resolution satellite imagery. Beyond tax assessment, it can assist pool maintenance companies in targeting their marketing efforts. Additionally, public health and mosquito control agencies can use the model to locate pools and guide field operations and mitigation strategies.
