Title
RAANet: A Residual ASPP with Attention Framework for Semantic Segmentation of High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images
Abstract
Classification of land use and land cover from remote sensing images has been widely used in natural resources and urban information management. The variability and complex background of land use in high-resolution imagery poses greater challenges for remote sensing semantic segmentation. To obtain multi-scale semantic information and improve the classification accuracy of land-use types in remote sensing images, the deep learning models have been wildly focused on. Inspired by the idea of the atrous-spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) framework, an improved deep learning model named RAANet (Residual ASPP with Attention Net) is constructed in this paper, which constructed a new residual ASPP by embedding the attention module and residual structure into the ASPP. There are 5 dilated attention convolution units and a residual unit in its encoder. The former is used to obtain important semantic information at more scales, and residual units are used to reduce the complexity of the network to prevent the disappearance of gradients. In practical applications, according to the characteristics of the data set, the attention unit can select different attention modules such as the convolutional block attention model (CBAM). The experimental results obtained from the land-cover domain adaptive semantic segmentation (LoveDA) and ISPRS Vaihingen datasets showed that this model can enhance the classification accuracy of semantic segmentation compared to the current deep learning models.
