Toward Seasonal Guidelines for Robust Deep-Learning Sentinel-2 Building Detection in Different Area Types
Sentinel-2 imagery offers open access, global coverage, and frequent revisit times, making it attractive for practical building mapping at scale; however, its native 10m resolution makes building vs non-building classification challenging, particularly for small or sub-pixel buildings, and performance can vary with both seasonality and the heterogeneity of built-up environments. This paper introduces a Sentinel-2 building-detection framework designed to systematically quantify these effects and to support more formalised, practice-oriented model selection. We construct a dedicated multi-temporal Sentinel-2 dataset over the Warsaw region and derive binary ground-truth masks by rasterising official Polish topographic database (BDOT10k) building footprints onto the Sentinel-2 pixel grid. Using two established convolutional segmentation backbones (U-Net and DeepLabV3+), we first perform scene-specific fine-tuning to select a robust architecture and identify the best monthly models for L1C and L2A products separately. We then conduct cross-temporal inference by applying each best monthly model to all scenes, enabling an assessment of (i) which months provide favourable training and inference conditions, (ii) how performance transfers between seasons, (iii) the impact of processing level, and (iv) how these effects differ across built-up typologies. Based on these results, we provide practical guidance for routine Sentinel-2 building classification under varying acquisition periods and settlement characteristics.
