| Summary: | Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is essential since manually labeling pixel-level annotations is consuming and expensive. Since the domain discrepancies have not been well solved, existing UDA approaches yield poor performance compared with supervised learning approaches. In this paper, we propose a novel sequential learning network (SLNet) for unsupervised cross-scene aerial image segmentation. The whole system is decoupled into two sequential parts—the image translation model and segmentation adaptation model. Specifically, we introduce the spectral space transferring (SST) approach to narrow the visual discrepancy. The high-frequency components between the source images and the translated images can be transferred in the Fourier spectral space for better preserving the important identity and fine-grained details. To further alleviate the distribution discrepancy, an efficient pseudo-label revising (PLR) approach was developed to guide pseudo-label learning via entropy minimization. Without additional parameters, the entropy map works as the adaptive threshold, constantly revising the pseudo labels for the target domain. Furthermore, numerous experiments for single-category and multi-category UDA segmentation demonstrate that our SLNet is the state-of-the-art.
