description The success of deep learning and the segmentation of remote sensing images (RSIs) has improved semantic segmentation in recent years. However, existing RSI segmentation methods have two inherent problems: (1) detecting objects of various scales in RSIs of complex scenes is challenging, and (2) feature reconstruction for accurate segmentation is difficult. To solve these problems, we propose a deep-separation-guided progressive reconstruction network that achieves accurate RSI segmentation. First, we design a decoder comprising progressive reconstruction blocks capturing detailed features at various resolutions through multi-scale features obtained from various receptive fields to preserve accuracy during reconstruction. Subsequently, we propose a deep separation module that distinguishes various classes based on semantic features to use deep features to detect objects of different scales. Moreover, adjacent middle features are complemented during decoding to improve the segmentation performance. Extensive experimental results on two optical RSI datasets show that the proposed network outperforms 11 state-of-the-art methods.
