Roads are vital components of infrastructure, the extraction of which has become a topic of significant interest in the field of remote sensing. Because deep learning has been a popular method in image processing and information extraction, researchers have paid more attention to extracting road using neural networks. This article proposes the improvement of neural networks to extract roads from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing images. D-Linknet was first considered for its high performance; however, the huge scale of the net reduced computational efficiency. With a focus on the low computational efficiency problem of the popular D-LinkNet, this article made some improvements: (1) Replace the initial block with a stem block. (2) Rebuild the entire network based on ResNet units with a new structure, allowing for the construction of an improved neural network D-Linknetplus. (3) Add a 1 × 1 convolution layer before DBlock to reduce the input feature maps, reducing parameters and improving computational efficiency. Add another 1 × 1 convolution layer after DBlock to recover the required number of output channels. Accordingly, another improved neural network B-D-LinknetPlus was built. Comparisons were performed between the neural nets, and the verification were made with the Massachusetts Roads Dataset. The results show improved neural networks are helpful in reducing the network size and developing the precision needed for road extraction.

Automatic road extraction from very-high-resolution remote sensing images has become a popular topic in a wide range of fields. Convolutional neural networks are often used for this purpose. However, many network models do not achieve satisfactory extraction results because of the elongated nature and varying sizes of roads in images. To improve the accuracy of road extraction, this paper proposes a deep learning model based on the structure of Deeplab v3. It incorporates squeeze-and-excitation (SE) module to apply weights to different feature channels, and performs multi-scale upsampling to preserve and fuse shallow and deep information. To solve the problems associated with unbalanced road samples in images, different loss functions and backbone network modules are tested in the model’s training process. Compared with cross entropy, dice loss can improve the performance of the model during training and prediction. The SE module is superior to ResNext and ResNet in improving the integrity of the extracted roads. Experimental results obtained using the Massachusetts Roads Dataset show that the proposed model (Nested SE-Deeplab) improves F1-Score by 2.4% and Intersection over Union by 2.0% compared with FC-DenseNet. The proposed model also achieves better segmentation accuracy in road extraction compared with other mainstream deep-learning models including Deeplab v3, SegNet, and UNet.

Abstract Hyperspectral imaging is a versatile and powerful technology for gathering geo-data. Planes and satellites equipped with hyperspectral cameras are currently the leading contenders for large-scale imaging projects. Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional methods for detecting sparse representation of multi-spectral images, this paper proposes wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based single-hyperspectral image super-resolution method based on deep residual convolutional neural networks. We propose a different strategy that involves merging cheaper multispectral sensors to achieve hyperspectral-like spectral resolution while maintaining the WSN's spatial resolution. This method studies and mines the nonlinear relationship between low-resolution remote sensing images and high-resolution remote sensing images, constructs a deep residual convolutional neural network, connects multiple residual blocks in series, and removes some unnecessary modules. For this purpose, a decision support system is used that provides the outcome to the next layer. Finally, this paper, fully explores the similarities between natural images and hyperspectral images, use natural image samples to train convolutional neural networks, and further use migration learning to introduce the trained network model to the super-resolution problem of high-resolution remote sensing images, and solve the lack of training samples problem. A comparison between different algorithms for processing data on datasets collected in situ and via remote sensing is used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the method has good performance and can obtain better super-resolution effects.

Low inter-class variance and complex spatial details exist in ground objects of the coastal zone, which leads to a challenging task for coastal land cover classification (CLCC) from high-resolution remote sensing images. Recently, fully convolutional neural networks have been widely used in CLCC. However, the inherent structure of the convolutional operator limits the receptive field, resulting in capturing the local context. Additionally, complex decoders bring additional information redundancy and computational burden. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel attention-driven context encoding network to solve these problems. Among them, lightweight global feature attention modules are employed to aggregate multi-scale spatial details in the decoding stage. Meanwhile, position and channel attention modules with long-range dependencies are embedded to enhance feature representations of specific categories by capturing the multi-dimensional global context. Additionally, multiple objective functions are introduced to supervise and optimize feature information at specific scales. We apply the proposed method in CLCC tasks of two study areas and compare it with other state-of-the-art approaches. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves the optimal performances in encoding long-range context and recognizing spatial details and obtains the optimum representations in evaluation indexes.

Road Network Extraction

Road network extraction is one of the significant assignments for disaster emergency response, intelligent transportation systems, and real-time updating road network. Road extraction base on high-resolution remote sensing images has become a hot topic. Presently, most of the researches are based on traditional machine learning algorithms, which are complex and computational because of impervious surfaces such as roads and buildings that are discernible in the images. Given the above problems, we propose a new method to extract the road network from remote sensing images using a DenseUNet model with few parameters and robust characteristics. DenseUNet consists of dense connection units and skips connections, which strengthens the fusion of different scales by connections at various network layers. The performance of the advanced method is validated on two datasets of high-resolution images by comparison with three classical semantic segmentation methods. The experimental results show that the method can be used for road extraction in complex scenes.
