The COVID-19 outbreak forced governments worldwide to impose lockdowns and quarantines to prevent virus transmission As a consequence, there are disruptions in human and economic activities all over the globe The recovery process is also expected to be rough Economic activities impact social behaviors, which leave signatures in satellite images that can be automatically detected and classified Satellite imagery can support the decision-making of analysts and policymakers by providing a different kind of visibility into the unfolding economic changes In this work, we use a deep learning approach that combines strategic location sampling and an ensemble of lightweight convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to recognize specific elements in satellite images and compute economic indicators based on it, automatically This CNN ensemble framework ranked third place in the US Department of Defense xView challenge, the most advanced benchmark for object detection in satellite images We show the potential of our framework for temporal analysis using the US IARPA Function Map of the World (fMoW) dataset We also show results on real examples of different sites before and after the COVID-19 outbreak to illustrate different measurable indicators Our code and annotated highresolution aerial scenes before and after the outbreak are available on GitHub CCBY
