The algorithm is subjected to identify houses in the image based on the RGB pattern within each pixel. Training data is given through cropping selection for a target that is a house cluster and a non object. The algorithm assigns 1 to a pixel belong to a class of object and 0 to a class of non object. The resulting outcome, a binary image, is then utilized to perform quantification to estimate the number of house clusters. The number of the hidden layer is varying in order to find its effect to the neural network performance and total computational time. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 8th International Symposium of the Digital Earth, ISDE 2014 ; Conference Date: 26 August 2013 Through 29 August 2013; Conference Code:108166
