Segmentation of high-resolution remote sensing images is an important challenge with wide practical applications. The increasing spatial resolution provides fine details for image segmentation but also incurs segmentation ambiguities. In this paper, we propose a generative adversarial network with spatial and channel attention mechanisms (GAN-SCA) for the robust segmentation of buildings in remote sensing images. The segmentation network (generator) of the proposed framework is composed of the well-known semantic segmentation architecture (U-Net) and the spatial and channel attention mechanisms (SCA). The adoption of SCA enables the segmentation network to selectively enhance more useful features in specific positions and channels and enables improved results closer to the ground truth. The discriminator is an adversarial network with channel attention mechanisms that can properly discriminate the outputs of the generator and the ground truth maps. The segmentation network and adversarial network are trained in an alternating fashion on the Inria aerial image labeling dataset and Massachusetts buildings dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed GAN-SCA achieves a higher score (the overall accuracy and intersection over the union of Inria aerial image labeling dataset are 96.61% and 77.75%, respectively, and the F1-measure of the Massachusetts buildings dataset is 96.36%) and outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches.

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.

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.
