Abstract
Semantic segmentation from fine-resolution remotely sensed images is an urgent issue in satellite imagery processing. Due to the complicated environment, automatic categorization and segmen-tation is a challenging matter especially for images with a fine resolution. Solving it can help to surmount a wide varied range of obstacles in urban planning, environmental protection, and natural landscape monitoring, which paves the way for complete scene understanding. However, the existing frequently-used encoder-decoder structure is unable to effectively combine the extracted spatial and contextual features. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce the Feature Pyramid Net-work (FPN) to bridge the gap between the low-level and high-level features. Moreover, we enhance the contextual information with the elaborate Multi-Head Attention module and propose the Feature Pyramid Network with Multi-Head Attention (FPN-MHA) for semantic segmentation of fine-resolution remotely sensed images. Extensive experiments conducted on the ISPRS Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our FPN-MHA. Code is available at this https URL.
