With the increase of resolution, remote sensing images have the characteristics of increased information load, increased noise, more complex feature geometry and texture information, which makes the extraction of building information more difficult. To solve this problem, this paper designs a high resolution remote sensing image building extraction method based on Markov model. This method introduces Contourlet domain map clustering and Markov model, captures and enhances the contour and texture information of high-resolution remote sensing image features in multiple directions, and further designs the spectral feature index that can characterize “pseudo-buildings” in the building area. Through the multi-scale segmentation and extraction of image features, the fine extraction from the building area to the building is realized. Experiments show that this method can restrain the noise of high-resolution remote sensing images, reduce the interference of non-target ground texture information, and remove the shadow, vegetation and other pseudo-building information, compared with the traditional pixel-level image information extraction, better performance in building extraction precision, accuracy and completeness.

Building extraction plays a significant role in many high-resolution remote sensing image applications. Many current building extraction methods need training samples while it is common knowledge that different samples often lead to different generalization ability. Morphological building index (MBI), representing morphological features of building regions in an index form, can effectively extract building regions especially in Chinese urban regions without any training samples and has drawn much attention. However, some problems like the heavy computation cost of multi-scale and multi-direction morphological operations still exist. In this paper, a multi-scale filtering building index (MFBI) is proposed in the hope of overcoming these drawbacks and dealing with the increasing noise in very high-resolution remote sensing image. The profile of multi-scale average filtering is averaged and normalized to generate this index. Moreover, to fully utilize the relatively little spectral information in very high-resolution remote sensing image, two scenarios to generate the multi-channel multi-scale filtering index (MMFBI) are proposed. While no high-resolution remote sensing image building extraction dataset is open to the public now and the current very high-resolution remote sensing image building extraction datasets usually contain samples from the Northern American or European regions, we offer a very high-resolution remote sensing image building extraction datasets in which the samples contain multiple building styles from multiple Chinese regions. The proposed MFBI and MMFBI outperform MBI and the currently used object based segmentation method on the dataset, with a high recall and F-score. Meanwhile, the computation time of MFBI and MBI is compared on three large-scale very high-resolution satellite image and the sensitivity analysis demonstrates the robustness of the proposed method.

Remote sensing image change detection (CD) is an important task in remote sensing image analysis and is essential for an accurate understanding of changes in the Earth’s surface. The technology of deep learning (DL) is becoming increasingly popular in solving CD tasks for remote sensing images. Most existing CD methods based on DL tend to use ordinary convolutional blocks to extract and compare remote sensing image features, which cannot fully extract the rich features of high-resolution (HR) remote sensing images. In addition, most of the existing methods lack robustness to pseudochange information processing. To overcome the above problems, in this article, we propose a new method, namely MRA-SNet, for CD in remote sensing images. Utilizing the UNet network as the basic network, the method uses the Siamese network to extract the features of bitemporal images in the encoder separately and perform the difference connection to better generate difference maps. Meanwhile, we replace the ordinary convolution blocks with Multi-Res blocks to extract spatial and spectral features of different scales in remote sensing images. Residual connections are used to extract additional detailed features. To better highlight the change region features and suppress the irrelevant region features, we introduced the Attention Gates module before the skip connection between the encoder and the decoder. Experimental results on a public dataset of remote sensing image CD show that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art (SOTA) CD methods in terms of evaluation metrics and performance.

With the resolution of remote sensing images is getting higher and higher, high-resolution remote sensing images are widely used in many areas. Among them, image information extraction is one of the basic applications of remote sensing images. In the face of massive high-resolution remote sensing image data, the traditional method of target recognition is difficult to cope with. Therefore, this paper proposes a remote sensing image extraction based on U-net network. Firstly, the U-net semantic segmentation network is used to train the training set, and the validation set is used to verify the training set at the same time, and finally the test set is used for testing. The experimental results show that U-net can be applied to the extraction of buildings.

Significant progress has been made in remote sensing image captioning by encoder-decoder frameworks. The conventional attention mechanism is prevalent in this task but still has some drawbacks. The conventional attention mechanism only uses visual information about the remote sensing images without considering using the label information to guide the calculation of attention masks. To this end, a novel attention mechanism, namely Label-Attention Mechanism (LAM), is proposed in this paper. LAM additionally utilizes the label information of high-resolution remote sensing images to generate natural sentences to describe the given images. It is worth noting that, instead of high-level image features, the predicted categories’ word embedding vectors are adopted to guide the calculation of attention masks. Representing the content of images in the form of word embedding vectors can filter out redundant image features. In addition, it can also preserve pure and useful information for generating complete sentences. The experimental results from UCM-Captions, Sydney-Captions and RSICD demonstrate that LAM can improve the model’s performance for describing high-resolution remote sensing images and obtain better S m scores compared with other methods. S m score is a hybrid scoring method derived from the AI Challenge 2017 scoring method. In addition, the validity of LAM is verified by the experiment of using true labels.

The development of remote sensing technology, especially the availability of high-resolution satellite imagery, has been applied to building recognition, hazard investigation and rapid pre-evaluation in post-earthquake management. Existing pixel-oriented approaches which are commonly used for satellite high-resolution imagery have limitations in information extraction, ground object classification, and processing speed. This paper presents an object-oriented method to extract earthquake-damaged building information using high-resolution remote sensing imagery of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake. This method segmented the whole image into non-intersecting pieces of image objects, and then classified these pieces to extract damaged/undamaged buildings using image features such as spectral characters, textures, shapes, and their contexts. The results show a higher-precision classification than conventional methods.
