Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Remote sensing image scene classification methods based on deep learning have been widely studied and discussed. However, most of the network architectures are directly reliant on natural image processing methods and are fixed. A few studies have focused on automatic search mechanisms, but they cannot weigh the interpretation accuracy and the parameter quantity for practical application. As a result, automatic global search methods based on multiobjective evolutionary computation have more advantages. However, in the ranking process, the network individuals with large parameter quantities are easy to eliminate, but a higher accuracy may be obtained after full training. In addition, evolutionary neural architecture search methods often take several days. In this article, in order to solve the above concerns, we propose an efficient multiobjective evolutionary automatic search framework for remote sensing image scene classification deep learning network architectures (E2SCNet). In E2SCNet, eight kinds of lightweight operators are used to build a diversified search space, and the coding connection mode is flexible. In the search process, a large model retention mechanism is implemented through two-step multiobjective modeling and evolutionary search, where one step involves the parameter quantity and accuracy , and the other step involves the parameter quantity and accuracy growth quantity. Moreover, a super network is constructed to share the weight in the process of individual network evaluation and promote the search speed. The effectiveness of E2SCNet is proven by comparison with several networks designed by human experts and networks obtained by gradient and evolutionary computing-based search methods.
