In recent years the spatial resolutions of remote sensing images have been improved greatly. However, a higher spatial resolution image does not always lead to a better result of automatic scene classification. Visual attention is an important characteristic of the human visual system, which can effectively help to classify remote sensing scenes. In this study, a novel visual attention feature extraction algorithm was proposed, which extracted visual attention features through a multiscale process. And a fuzzy classification method using visual attention features (FC-VAF) was developed to perform high resolution remote sensing scene classification. FC-VAF was evaluated by using remote sensing scenes from widely used high resolution remote sensing images, including IKONOS, QuickBird, and ZY-3 images. FC-VAF achieved more accurate classification results than the others according to the quantitative accuracy evaluation indices. We also discussed the role and impacts of different decomposition levels and different wavelets on the classification accuracy. FC-VAF improves the accuracy of high resolution scene classification and therefore advances the research of digital image analysis and the applications of high resolution remote sensing images.

Automatic extraction of the road surface and road centerline from very high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing images has always been a challenging task in the field of feature extraction. Most existing road datasets are based on data with simple and clear backgrounds under ideal conditions, such as images derived from Google Earth. Therefore, the studies on road surface extraction and road centerline extraction under complex scenes are insufficient. Meanwhile, most existing efforts addressed these two tasks separately, without considering the possible joint extraction of road surface and centerline. With the introduction of multitask convolutional neural network models, it is possible to carry out these two tasks simultaneously by facilitating information sharing within a multitask deep learning model. In this study, we first design a challenging dataset using remote sensing images from the GF-2 satellite. The dataset contains complex road scenes with manually annotated images. We then propose a two-task and end-to-end convolution neural network, termed Multitask Road-related Extraction Network (MRENet), for road surface extraction and road centerline extraction. We take features extracted from the road as the condition of centerline extraction, and the information transmission and parameter sharing between the two tasks compensate for the potential problem of insufficient road centerline samples. In the network design, we use atrous convolutions and a pyramid scene parsing pooling module (PSP pooling), aiming to expand the network receptive field, integrate multilevel features, and obtain more abundant information. In addition, we use a weighted binary cross-entropy function to alleviate the background imbalance problem. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms several comparative methods in the aspects of classification precision and visual interpretation.

This paper proposes a novel method of extracting roads and bridges from high-resolution remote sensing images based on deep learning. Edge detection is performed on the images in the road area along with the road skeleton line, and the result of the detected binary edge is vectorized. The interference of protective belts on both sides of the road, road vehicles, road green belts, traffic signs, etc. and the shadow interference of the bridge itself are eliminated to determine the parallel sides of the road. The bridge features on the road are used to locate the detected bridge and obtain information such as the location, length, width, and direction of the bridge, verifying the experimental results of the Shaoguan Le point images. In addition, in order to learn higher-level road feature information, the algorithm in this paper introduces the hollow convolution and multicore pooling modules. Secondly, the residual refinement network further refines the output of the prediction network to improve the ambiguity of the prediction network results. In addition, in view of the small proportion of road pixels in remote sensing images, the network also integrates binary cross entropy, structural similarity, and intersection ratio loss function to reduce road information loss. The applicability of the proposed study was tested, and the results show that the algorithm is very effective for the extraction of road and bridge targets.
