Context Characteristics

Road extraction from remote sensing images has attracted much attention in geospatial applications. However, the existing methods do not accurately identify the connectivity of the road. The identification of the road pixels may be interfered with by the abundant ground such as buildings, trees, and shadows. The objective of this paper is to enhance context and strip features of the road by designing UNet-like architecture. The overall method first enhances the context characteristics in the segmentation step and then maintains the stripe characteristics in a refinement step. The segmentation step exploits an attention mechanism to enhance the context information between the adjacent layers. To obtain the strip features of the road, the refinement step introduces the strip pooling in a refinement network to restore the long distance dependent information of the road. Extensive comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods, achieving an overall accuracy of 98.25% on the DeepGlobe dataset, and 97.68% on the Massachusetts dataset.

Recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown impressive results in semantic segmentation. Among the successful CNN-based methods, U-Net has achieved exciting performance. In this paper, we proposed a novel network architecture based on U-Net and atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) to deal with the road extraction task in the remote sensing field. On the one hand, U-Net structure can effectively extract valuable features; on the other hand, ASPP is able to utilize multiscale context information in remote sensing images. Compared to the baseline, this proposed model has improved the pixelwise mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 3 points. Experimental results show that the proposed network architecture can deal with different types of road surface extraction tasks under various terrains in Yinchuan city, solve the road connectivity problem to some extent, and has certain tolerance to shadows and occlusion.

Road extraction from remote sensing images is of great significance to urban planning, navigation, disaster assessment, and other applications. Although deep neural networks have shown a strong ability in road extraction, it remains a challenging task due to complex circumstances and factors such as occlusion. To improve the accuracy and connectivity of road extraction, we propose an inner convolution integrated encoder-decoder network with the post-processing of directional conditional random fields. Firstly, we design an inner convolutional network which can propagate information slice-by-slice within feature maps, thus enhancing the learning of road topology and linear features. Additionally, we present the directional conditional random fields to improve the quality of the extracted road by adding the direction of roads to the energy function of the conditional random fields. The experimental results on the Massachusetts road dataset show that the proposed approach achieves high-quality segmentation results, with the F1-score of 84.6%, which outperforms other comparable “state-of-the-art” approaches. The visualization results prove that the proposed approach is able to effectively extract roads from remote sensing images and can solve the road connectivity problem produced by occlusions to some extent.

Abstract. Aiming at the problem of disconnection after road classification of remote sensing image, this paper proposes an optimization method for broken road connection considering spatial connectivity. The method extracts the road skeleton based on the binarized image after road extraction, and uses the eight neighborhood detection algorithm to find the road breakpoints after road extraction of high-resolution remote sensing image, and removes the isolated points of the road edge according to mathematical morphology filtering. Secondly, use K-means clustering algorithm to search for road breakpoints, and eliminate invalid breakpoints; then, fit the breakpoints of each category through polynomial curves, and record the mathematics of each fitted curve expression; Finally, the coordinate sequences between each kind of breakpoint is calculated according to each fitted polynomial, and the corresponding pixel is filled with the width of the road to realize automatic detection and connection. In this paper, the images after road extraction based on the U-Net network is used to test the method. The results show that the proposed method can better connect the roads formed by road or building shadows. Especially, the single broken road , has a high integrity of the road shape after repairing. The method proposed in this paper has certain reference significance for the classification and repair of linear objects such as roads, power grids and tracks.

Road semantic segmentation is unique and difficult. Road extraction from remote sensing imagery often produce fragmented road segments leading to road network disconnection due to the occlusion of trees, buildings, shadows, cloud, etc. In this paper, we propose a novel fusion network (FuNet) with fusion of remote sensing imagery and location data, which plays an important role of location data in road connectivity reasoning. A universal iteration reinforcement (IteR) module is embedded into FuNet to enhance the ability of network learning. We designed the IteR formula to repeatedly integrate original information and prediction information and designed the reinforcement loss function to control the accuracy of road prediction output. Another contribution of this paper is the use of histogram equalization data pre-processing to enhance image contrast and improve the accuracy by nearly 1%. We take the excellent D-LinkNet as the backbone network, designing experiments based on the open dataset. The experiment result shows that our method improves over the compared advanced road extraction methods, which not only increases the accuracy of road extraction, but also improves the road topological connectivity.

The technology used for road extraction from remote sensing images plays an important role in urban planning, traffic management, navigation, and other geographic applications. Although deep learning methods have greatly enhanced the development of road extractions in recent years, this technology is still in its infancy. Because the characteristics of road targets are complex, the accuracy of road extractions is still limited. In addition, the ambiguous prediction of semantic segmentation methods also makes the road extraction result blurry. In this study, we improved the performance of the road extraction network by integrating atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) with an Encoder-Decoder network. The proposed approach takes advantage of ASPP’s ability to extract multiscale features and the Encoder-Decoder network’s ability to extract detailed features. Therefore, it can achieve accurate and detailed road extraction results. For the first time, we utilized the structural similarity (SSIM) as a loss function for road extraction. Therefore, the ambiguous predictions in the extraction results can be removed, and the image quality of the extracted roads can be improved. The experimental results using the Massachusetts Road dataset show that our method achieves an F1-score of 83.5% and an SSIM of 0.893. Compared with the normal U-net, our method improves the F1-score by 2.6% and the SSIM by 0.18. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the proposed approach can extract roads from remote sensing images more effectively and clearly than the other compared methods.

At present, deep-learning methods have been widely used in road extraction from remote-sensing images and have effectively improved the accuracy of road extraction. However, these methods are still affected by the loss of spatial features and the lack of global context information. To solve these problems, we propose a new network for road extraction, the coord-dense-global (CDG) model, built on three parts: a coordconv module by putting coordinate information into feature maps aimed at reducing the loss of spatial information and strengthening road boundaries, an improved dense convolutional network (DenseNet) that could make full use of multiple features through own dense blocks, and a global attention module designed to highlight high-level information and improve category classification by using pooling operation to introduce global information. When tested on a complex road dataset from Massachusetts, USA, CDG achieved clearly superior performance to contemporary networks such as DeepLabV3+, U-net, and D-LinkNet. For example, its mean IoU (intersection of the prediction and ground truth regions over their union) and mean F1 score (evaluation metric for the harmonic mean of the precision and recall metrics) were 61.90% and 76.10%, respectively, which were 1.19% and 0.95% higher than the results of D-LinkNet (the winner of a road-extraction contest). In addition, CDG was also superior to the other three models in solving the problem of tree occlusion. Finally, in universality research with the Gaofen-2 satellite dataset, the CDG model also performed well at extracting the road network in the test maps of Hefei and Tianjin, China.
