ABSTRACT

Semantic segmentation of high-resolution remote sensing images is very

important. However, the targets in the high-resolution optical satellite images are
always various in size, which lead to multiscale problems resulting in di�culty of
locating and identifying the target. High-resolution remote sensing is more
complex than natural phenomena; this leads to false alarms due to a greater
intraclass inconsistency. Thus, the pixel-wise classi�cation of high-resolution
remote sensing images becomes challenging. Aiming at the above problems, we
propose a multiscale feature and discriminative feature network (MF-DFNet). We
introduce the hierarchical-split block (HSB) and the residual receptive �eld block
module (RRFBM) to extract multiscale information to address multiscale problems.
We also introduce a foreground-scene relation module to enhance the
discrimination of features and deal with the false alarm phenomenon. In addition,
the channel attention block (CAB) is introduced to select more discriminative
features. We use two publicly available remote sensing image datasets (Vaihingen
and Massachusetts building) for the experiments in this paper. Compared to
current advanced models, our results show that MF-DFNet achieves state-of-the-
art performance and can e�ectively improve the integrity and correctness of
semantic segmentation in high-resolution remote sensing images.
