<abstract>
<p>In this paper we present an approach for semantic interpretation of facade images based on a Convolutional Network. Our network
processes the input images in a fully convolutional way and generates pixel-wise predictions. We show that there is no need for large
datasets to train the network when transfer learning is employed, i. e., a part of an already existing network is used and fine-tuned,
and when the available data is augmented by using deformed patches of the images for training. The network is trained end-to-end
with patches of the images and each patch is augmented independently. To undo the downsampling for the classification, we add
deconvolutional layers to the network. Outputs of different layers of the network are combined to achieve more precise pixel-wise
predictions. We demonstrate the potential of our network based on results for the eTRIMS (Korč and Förstner, 2009) dataset reduced
to facades.</p>
