The paper introduces an improved Multi-level Feature Aggregation Network (MFANet) to address the issues of detail loss and fuzzy edges in high-resolution remote sensing image restoration. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves outstanding performance on the LandCover dataset.
Detailed information regarding land utilization/cover is a valuable resource in various fields. In recent years, remote sensing images, especially aerial images, have become higher in resolution and larger span in time and space, and the phenomenon that the objects in an identical category may yield a different spectrum would lead to the fact that relying on spectral features only is often insufficient to accurately segment the target objects. In convolutional neural networks, down-sampling operations are usually used to extract abstract semantic features, which leads to loss of details and fuzzy edges. To solve these problems, the paper proposes a Multi-level Feature Aggregation Network (MFANet), which is improved in two aspects: deep feature extraction and up-sampling feature fusion. Firstly, the proposed Channel Feature Compression module extracts the deep features and filters the redundant channel information from the backbone to optimize the learned context. Secondly, the proposed Multi-level Feature Aggregation Upsample module nestedly uses the idea that high-level features provide guidance information for low-level features, which is of great significance for positioning the restoration of high-resolution remote sensing images. Finally, the proposed Channel Ladder Refinement module is used to refine the restored high-resolution feature maps. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance 86.45% mean IOU on LandCover dataset.
