Semantic segmentation model with asymmetric pyramid non-local blocks for building extraction from satellite imagery
摘要
Rooftop extraction from remote sensing imagery supports various socio-economic applications but faces challenges due to the diversity and complexity of the building rooftops. This work introduces a deep learning model, namely the Intermediate Supervision Model with Asymmetric Pyramid Non-Local Blocks (ISAPNBNet), for facilitating high-precision building extraction. The proposed model provides robust segmentation capabilities by capturing long-range dependencies within the image data. In order to address the lack of Indian building extraction imagery, a dataset named C3-Hosur-MX (1.12 m resolution) has been prepared from the study area of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India. The performance of the proposed model is compared in key metrics with that of the UNet, SegNet, UNetVasyPPD, MRDCN and ISNET both qualitatively and quantitatively, using the publically available Massachusetts building dataset and C3-Hosur-MX dataset. The outcomes suggest that the proposed model can be used for extracting buildings in various environments.
