IMPROVING SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF HIGH-RESOLUTION REMOTE SENSING IMAGES USING WASSERSTEIN GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK

Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images with high spatial resolution has many applications in a wide range of problems in this field. In recent years, the use of advanced techniques based on fully convolutional neural networks have achieved high and impressive accuracies. However, the labels...

description Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images with high spatial resolution has many applications in a wide range of problems in this field. In recent years, the use of advanced techniques based on fully convolutional neural networks have achieved high and impressive accuracies. However, the labels of different classes are estimated independently in this method. In general, the segmentation effect is too coarse to take the relationship between pixels into account. On the other hand, due to the use of convolution filters and limitations of calculations, the field of view information of these filters will be limited in deep layers. In this study, a method based on generative adversarial network (GAN) is proposed to strengthen spatial vicinity in the output segmentation map. The segmentation model receive assistance from the GAN model in the form of a higher order potential loss. Furthermore, for better stability and performance in model training the Wasserstein GAN is used for optimization of the model. We successfully show an increase in semantic segmentation accuracy using the challenging ISPRS Vaihingen benchmark dataset.
