Summary
This study introduces a hybrid deep learning method for land cover classification using satellite images. The approach enhances accuracy by combining Deeplab v3+ with a novel clustering post-processing scheme, improving Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC).
Area of Science:
- Remote Sensing
- Geospatial Analysis
- Computer Vision
Background:
- Land cover classification (LCC) is crucial for mapping and monitoring Earth's surface using satellite imagery.
- Traditional LCC methods face challenges with increasing data complexity and demand for higher resolution.
- Deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has advanced satellite image segmentation, but training is resource-intensive.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an improved semantic segmentation method for multispectral satellite images.
- To enhance the accuracy and robustness of land cover classification.
- To address the computational demands of deep learning by utilizing pre-trained networks and a novel post-processing technique.
Main Methods:
- A hybrid synergistic semantic segmentation approach integrating the Deeplab v3+ network with a clustering-based post-processing scheme.
- The post-processing involves a spectral bag-of-words model and K-medoids clustering to refine segmentation outputs.
- Utilizing pre-trained networks to mitigate the need for extensive hardware and training time.
Main Results:
- The proposed method accurately classifies diverse land cover types, including forests, urban areas, and water bodies.
- The hybrid approach improved the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) by approximately 5.7% compared to baseline deep learning methods.
- The method demonstrated robustness against data imbalance and seasonal variations, dynamically updating its classification codewords.
Conclusions:
- The synergistic semantic segmentation method offers a significant advancement in satellite image classification accuracy.
- The integration of deep learning with clustering-based post-processing effectively refines segmentation results.
- The proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving at least a 6% higher MCC in benchmark tests.
