Abstract:

Land cover classification is the basic task of remote sensing image interpretation. Related methods have developed rapidly, especially the branch based on deep learning (DL). For high-resolution remote sensing images, the smaller inter-class difference and greater intra-class difference are two obstacles to improving the classification accuracy. For the former, the DL models generally use a deeper encoder to extract more powerful classification features. Considering that the scale of different land cover categories varies greatly, multi-scale feature extraction modules are also used to improve the classification accuracy. While the latter is always overlooked, and thus we propose a dual-output model, which uses a dense spatial pyramid pooling (DSPP) module to generate both the pixel-level and region-level predictions, to reduce the influence of intra-class differences. To further increase the classification accuracy, we investigate the band selection technique to apply the pre-trained encoder from the natural red green blue (RGB) dataset to multi-spectral remote sensing images. Extensive experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.
