Extraction Stage

Semantic segmentation is a significant method in remote sensing image (RSIs) processing and has been widely used in various applications. Conventional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based semantic segmentation methods are likely to lose the spatial information in the feature extraction stage and usually pay little attention to global context information. Moreover, the imbalance of category scale and uncertain boundary information meanwhile exists in RSIs, which also brings a challenging problem to the semantic segmentation task. To overcome these problems, a high-resolution context extraction network (HRCNet) based on a high-resolution network (HRNet) is proposed in this paper. In this approach, the HRNet structure is adopted to keep the spatial information. Moreover, the light-weight dual attention (LDA) module is designed to obtain global context information in the feature extraction stage and the feature enhancement feature pyramid (FEFP) structure is promoted and employed to fuse the contextual information of different scales. In addition, to achieve the boundary information, we design the boundary aware (BA) module combined with the boundary aware loss (BAloss) function. The experimental results evaluated on Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets show that the proposed approach can significantly improve the boundary and segmentation performance up to 92.0% and 92.3% on overall accuracy scores, respectively. As a consequence, it is envisaged that the proposed HRCNet model will be an advantage in remote sensing images segmentation.

Abstract. Cloud detection is a vital preprocessing step for remote sensing image applications, which has been widely studied through Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in recent years. However, the available CNN-based works only extract local/non-local features by stacked convolution and pooling layers, ignoring global contextual information of the input scenes. In this paper, a novel segmentation-based network is proposed for cloud detection of remote sensing images. We add a multi-class classification branch to a U-shaped semantic segmentation network. Through the encoder-decoder architecture, pixelwise classification of cloud, shadow and landcover can be obtained. Besides, the multi-class classification branch is built on top of the encoder module to extract global context by identifying what classes exist in the input scene. Linear representation encoded global contextual information is learned in the added branch, which is to be combined with featuremaps of the decoder and can help to selectively strengthen class-related features or weaken class-unrelated features at different scales. The whole network is trained and tested in an end-to-end fashion. Experiments on two Landsat-8 cloud detection datasets show better performance than other deep learning methods, which finally achieves 90.82% overall accuracy and 0.6992 mIoU on the SPARCS dataset, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed framework for cloud detection in remote sensing images.
