Abstract
En 中文
Tremendous progresses have been made in remote sensing image captioning (RSIC) task in recent years, yet there still some unresolved problems: (1) facing the gap between the visual features and semantic concepts, (2) reasoning the higher-level relationships between semantic concepts. In this work, we focus on injecting high-level visual-semantic interaction into RSIC model. Firstly, the semantic concept extractor (SCE), end-to end trainable, precisely captures the semantic concepts contained in the RSIs. In particular, the visual-semantic co-attention (VSCA) is designed to grain coarse concept-related regions and region-related concepts for multi modal interaction. Furthermore, we incorporate the two types of attentive vectors with semantic-level relational features into a consensus exploitation (CE) block for learning cross-modal consensus-aware knowledge. The experiments on three benchmark data sets show the superiority of our approach compared with the reference methods.
