Title
Urban Area Detection in Very High Resolution Remote Sensing Images Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.
Abstract
Detecting urban areas from very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing images plays an important role in the field of Earth observation. The recently-developed deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), which can extract rich features from training data automatically, have achieved outstanding performance on many image classification databases. Motivated by this fact, we propose a new urban area detection method based on DCNNs in this paper. The proposed method mainly includes three steps: (i) a visual dictionary is obtained based on the deep features extracted by pre-trained DCNNs; (ii) urban words are learned from labeled images; (iii) the urban regions are detected in a new image based on the nearest dictionary word criterion. The qualitative and quantitative experiments on different datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain a remarkable overall accuracy (OA) and kappa coefficient. Moreover, it can also strike a good balance between the true positive rate (TPR) and false positive rate (FPR).
