Title
Pre-Trained Vggnet Architecture For Remote-Sensing Image Scene Classification
Abstract
The visual geometry group network (VGGNet) is used widely for image classification and has proven to be very effective method. Most existing approaches use features of just one type, and traditional fusion methods generally use multiple manually created features. However, to get the benefits of multi-layer features remain a significant challenge in the remote-sensing domain. To address this challenge, we present a simple yet powerful framework based on canonical correlation analysis and 4-layer SVM classifier. Specifically, the pretrained VGGNet is employed as a deep feature extractor to extract mid-level and deep features for remote-sensing scene images. We then choose two convolutional (mid-level) and two fully-connected layers produced by VGGNet in which each layer is treated as a separated feature descriptor. Next, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is used as a feature fusion strategy to refine the extracted features, and to fuse them with more discriminative power. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to construct the 4-layer representation of the scenes images. Experimenting on a UC Merced and WHU-RS datasets, demonstrate that the proposed approach, even without data augmentation, fine tuning or coding strategy, has a superior performance than state-of-the-art methods used now.
