Research Review of Image Semantic Segmentation Method in High-Resolution Remote Sensing Image Interpretation

Abstract

Rapid acquisition of remote sensing information has important research significance for the development of image semantic segmentation methods in remote sensing image interpretation applications. With more and more types of data recorded by satellite remote sensing images and more and more complex feature information, accurate and effective extraction of information in remote sensing images has become the key to interpret remote sensing images by image semantic segmentation methods. In order to explore the image semantic segmentation method for fast and efficient interpretation of remote sensing images, a large number of image semantic segmentation methods for remote sensing images are summarized. Firstly, the traditional image semantic segmentation methods are reviewed and divided into edge detection-based segmentation methods, region-based segmentation methods, threshold-based segmentation methods and segmentation methods combined with specific theories. At the same time, the limitations of traditional image semantic segmentation methods are analyzed. Secondly, the semantic segmentation methods based on deep learning are elaborated in detail, and the basic ideas and technical characteristics of each method are used as the classification criteria. They are divided into four categories: FCN-based methods, codec-based methods, dilated convolution-based methods and attention-based methods. The sub-methods contained in each type of method are summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are compared and analyzed. Then, the common datasets and performance evaluation indexes of remote sensing image semantic segmentation are briefly introduced. Experimental results of classical network models on different datasets are given, and the performance of different models is evaluated. Finally, the challenges of image semantic segmentation methods in high-resolution remote sensing image interpretation are analyzed, and the future development trend is prospected.
