摘要

The characteristics of remote sensing images, such as complex ground objects, rich feature details, large intraclass variance, and small interclass variance, usually require deep learning semantic segmentation methods to have strong feature learning representation ability. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel at local feature extraction through convolutional operations, their limited receptive fields hinder long-range dependency modeling. Transformers address this through multi-head self-attention but introduce prohibitive computational costs. We propose RFCFormer, an encoder–decoder network introducing: (1) rectangular dynamic self-integration module (RDIM) for spatial reconstruction and pyramid context extraction and (2) Fourier convolution former block (FCFB) with Fourier attention mixer (FCAM) to enhance feature representation. Evaluations on Vaihingen/Potsdam benchmarks show RFCFormer achieves 84.64%/87.32% mIoU, outperforming state-of-the-art methods by 0.5%/0.42% points.
