Title: Entropy and Boundary Based Adversarial Learning for Large Scale Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Conference ·

Supervised semantic segmentation methods provide state-of-the-art performance, but their performance is limited by the amount of quality labeled data they need for training. Scarcity of labeled data and non-transferablity of models, due to cross-domain discrepancy makes it a bigger challenge for remote sensing imagery analysis. In this work, we approach this problem through adversarial learning, driven by entropy and boundary of region-of-interest for unsupervised domain adaptation. This concept helps with better boundary prediction and encourages target domain entropy maps (probability/uncertainty maps) to be similar to source domains. In particular, we showed that deriving informative entropy through the adversarial learning is essential to enable the adaptation. We used a large scale cross country building extraction dataset to validate the framework. The experimental results show the usefulness of considering boundary and entropy driven adversarial learning for adaptation.
