Geographical Knowledge-driven Representation Learning for Remote Sensing Images


Abstract

The proliferation of remote sensing satellites has resulted in a massive amount of remote sensing images. However, due to human and material resource constraints, the vast majority of remote sensing images remain unlabeled. As a result, it cannot be applied to currently available deep learning methods. To fully utilize the remaining unlabeled images, we propose a Geographical Knowledge-driven Representation learning method for remote sensing images (GeoKR), improving network performance and reduce the demand for annotated data. The global land cover products and geographical location associated with each remote sensing image are regarded as geographical knowledge to provide supervision for representation learning and network pre-training. An efficient pre-training framework is proposed to eliminate the supervision noises caused by imaging times and resolutions difference between remote sensing images and geographical knowledge. A large scale pre-training dataset Levir-KR is proposed to support network pre-training. It contains 1,431,950 remote sensing images from Gaofen series satellites with various resolutions. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms ImageNet pre-training and self-supervised representation learning methods and significantly reduces the burden of data annotation on downstream tasks such as scene classification, semantic segmentation, object detection, and cloud / snow detection. It demonstrates that our proposed method can be used as a novel paradigm for pre-training neural networks. Codes will be available on this https URL.
