Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Object-based convolutional neural networks (OCNNs) have achieved great performance in the field of land-cover and land-use classification. Studies have suggested that the generation of object convolutional positions (OCPs) largely determines the performance of OCNNs. Optimized distribution of OCPs facilitates the identification of segmented objects with irregular shapes. In this study, we propose a morphology-based binary tree sampling (BTS) method that provides a reasonable, effective, and robust strategy to generate evenly distributed OCPs. The proposed BTS algorithm consists of three major steps: 1) calculating the required number of OCPs for each object, 2) dividing a vector object into smaller sub-objects, and 3) generating OCPs based on the sub-objects. Taking the object identification in land-cover and land-use classification as a case study, we compare the proposed BTS algorithm with other competing methods. The results suggest that the BTS algorithm outperforms all other competing methods, as it yields more evenly distributed OCPs that contribute to better representation of objects, thus leading to higher object identification accuracy. Further experiments suggest that the efficiency of BTS can be improved when multi-thread technology is implemented.
