Resümee

Many characteristics of remote sensing images, such as large scale, complex illumination and occlusion, dense, multiple scales, various posture targets, and the lack of a large number of labeled images for training depth networks, pose great challenges to the integrity and accuracy of remote sensing image segmentation. In deep convolutional networks for segmentation, resolution is significantly reduced by multiple pooling, thereby reducing the prediction accuracy of pixel class.On the basis of the deep convolutional coding-decoding network, an end-to-end remote sensing image segmentation model with full residual connection and multiscale feature fusion is proposed in this paper. First, the features in the encoder are merged into the corresponding layers of the decoder, and the residual unit is added to the corresponding convolution layer. The full residual connection constructed by the operation enables the model as a whole to effectively enhance feature fusion and be easier to train. Second, the feature pyramid module, which aggregates multiscale context information, is used on the high-level feature map of the fifth stage of the encoder before feature fusion, thus enabling the model to effectively deal with multiscale changes of the target and improve the segmentation performance.Experiments were conducted on the ISPRS Vaihingen and Road Detection datasets. The proposed model was evaluated from the two aspects of average IOU and average F1-score. A comparison between the current advanced models and the results in the literature shows that the proposed model is better than the comparison models. The average IOU on the two datasets is 85% and 84%, and the average F1 value is 92% and 93%, respectively.An end-to-end remote sensing image segmentation model with full residual connection and multiscale feature fusion is proposed in this paper. The proposed model achieves better results than the current advanced image semantic segmentation model on the two datasets. The segmentation targets are more complete, continuous, and have fewer misclassifications and leakages. The proposed model also achieves better results than the comparative model in road segmentation of remote sensing images from different sources, thereby further verifying the robustness of the model.
