Abstract

En 中文
Due to the characteristics of vertical orthophoto imaging, the apparent structural features of the object in the remote sensing (RS) image are relatively stable, such as the cross-shaped structure of the aircraft and the rectangular structure of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional visual features, using these features is conducive to improving the accuracy of object detection. However, there are few studies on such characteristics. In this article, we systematically study the invariant structural features of remote sensing objects and propose a graph focusing aggregation network (GFA-Net) to represent the structural features of remote sensing objects. Among them, in view of the problem that traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are sensitive to the changes in rotation, scale, and other factors, which makes it difficult to extract structural features, we propose the graph focusing process (GFP) based on the idea of graph convolution. Analysis and experiments show that graph structure has significant advantages over Euclidean feature space under CNN in expressing such structural features. In order to realize the end-to-end efficient training of the above model, we design a graph aggregation network (GAN) to update the weight of nodes. We verify the effectiveness of our method on the proposed multitask datasets aircraft component segmentation dataset (ACSD) and the large-scale Fine-grAined object recognItion in high-Resolution RS imagery (FAIR1M). Experiments conducted on the object detection datasets of large-scale Dataset for Object deTection in Aerial images (DOTA) and HRSC2016 prove that the proposed method is superior to the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) method.
