U-Net Neural Networks and Its Application in High Resolution Satellite Image Classification

High-resolution remote sensing images have precise geometric structure and spatial layout, but the spectral information is limited, which increases the difficulty of classifying similar features of spectral features. Aiming at the problem of high resolution remote sensing image classification, a U-Net convolutional neural network classification method based on deep learning is proposed. Based on the remote sensing image of the Ejina Oasis GF-2 in the lower reaches of the Heihe River, the U-Net model was used to extract the five types of land cover types of Populus euphratica, Tamarix chinensis, cultivated land, grassland and bare land. The overall classification accuracy and Kappa coefficient were 85.024% and 0.795 6 respectively. Compared with the traditional Support Vector Machine(SVM) and object-oriented method, the results show that compared with SVM and object-oriented method, the U-Net model is used to classify the high-resolution remote sensing, and the classification effect is better. The ground extracts the essential features of the features to meet the accuracy requirements.
