<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Benchmark datasets play an important role in evaluating remote sensing image retrieval methods. Current benchmark datasets are mostly collected through the Google Map API or other desktop tools. However, the Google Map API requires the users to have programming skills and other collection tools are not publicly available, which may hinder the development of new benchmark datasets. This paper develops an open access web-based tool V-RSIR to help users generating new benchmark datasets with volunteers for remote sensing image retrieval. Using this tool, a new benchmark dataset V-RSIR that contains 38 classes with at least 1500 images per class is created by 32 volunteers. A handcrafted low-level feature method and a deep learning high-level feature method are used to test the dataset. The evaluation results are consistent with our perception. This shows that the tool can help users effectively creating benchmark datasets for RSIR.</p>

In our paper [1], we presented a dense labeling dataset that can be used for not only single-label and multi-label remote sensing image retrieval but also pixel-based problems such as semantic segmentation.[...]

In recent years, the amount of remote sensing imagery data has increased exponentially. The ability to quickly and effectively find the required images from massive remote sensing archives is the key to the organization, management, and sharing of remote sensing image information. This paper proposes a high-resolution remote sensing image retrieval method with Gabor-CA-ResNet and a split-based deep feature transform network. The main contributions include two points. (1) For the complex texture, diverse scales, and special viewing angles of remote sensing images, A Gabor-CA-ResNet network taking ResNet as the backbone network is proposed by using Gabor to represent the spatial-frequency structure of images, channel attention (CA) mechanism to obtain stronger representative and discriminative deep features. (2) A split-based deep feature transform network is designed to divide the features extracted by the Gabor-CA-ResNet network into several segments and transform them separately for reducing the dimensionality and the storage space of deep features significantly. The experimental results on UCM, WHU-RS, RSSCN7, and AID datasets show that, compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our method can obtain competitive performance, especially for remote sensing images with rare targets and complex textures.

Due to the specific characteristics and complicated contents of remote sensing (RS) images, remote sensing image retrieval (RSIR) is always an open and tough research topic in the RS community. There are two basic blocks in RSIR, including feature learning and similarity matching. In this paper, we focus on developing an effective feature learning method for RSIR. With the help of the deep learning technique, the proposed feature learning method is designed under the bag-of-words (BOW) paradigm. Thus, we name the obtained feature deep BOW (DBOW). The learning process consists of two parts, including image descriptor learning and feature construction. First, to explore the complex contents within the RS image, we extract the image descriptor in the image patch level rather than the whole image. In addition, instead of using the handcrafted feature to describe the patches, we propose the deep convolutional auto-encoder (DCAE) model to deeply learn the discriminative descriptor for the RS image. Second, the k-means algorithm is selected to generate the codebook using the obtained deep descriptors. Then, the final histogrammic DBOW features are acquired by counting the frequency of the single code word. When we get the DBOW features from the RS images, the similarities between RS images are measured using L1-norm distance. Then, the retrieval results can be acquired according to the similarity order. The encouraging experimental results counted on four public RS image archives demonstrate that our DBOW feature is effective for the RSIR task. Compared with the existing RS image features, our DBOW can achieve improved behavior on RSIR.
