The fast and accurate extraction of plastic greenhouses over large areas is important for environmental and agricultural management. Traditional spectral index methods and object-based methods can suffer from poor transferability or high computational costs. Current deep learning-based algorithms are seldom specifically aimed at extracting plastic greenhouses at large scales. To extract plastic greenhouses at large scales with high accuracy, this study proposed a new deep learning-based network, U-FDS Net, specifically for plastic greenhouse extraction over large areas. U-FDS Net combines full-scale dense connections and adaptive deep supervision and has strong future fusion capabilities, allowing more accurate extraction results. To test the extraction accuracy, this study compiled new greenhouse datasets covering Beijing and Shandong with a total number of more than 12,000 image samples. The results showed that the proposed U-FDS net is particularly suitable for complex backgrounds and reducing false positive conditions for nongreenhouse ground objects, with the highest mIoU (mean intersection over union) an increase of ~2%. This study provides a high-performance method for plastic greenhouse extraction to enable environmental management, pollution control and agricultural plans. Full article

Change detection in high resolution (HR) remote sensing images faces more challenges than in low resolution images because of the variations of land features, which prompts this research on faster and more accurate change detection methods. We propose a pixel-level semantic change detection method to solve the fine-grained semantic change detection for HR remote sensing image pairs, which takes one lightweight semantic segmentation network (LightNet), using the parameter-sharing SiameseNet, as the architecture to carry out pixel-level semantic segmentations for the dual-temporal image pairs and achieve pixel-level change detection based directly on semantic comparison. LightNet consists of four long–short branches, each including lightweight dilated residual blocks and an information enhancement module. The feature information is transmitted, fused, and enhanced among the four branches, where two large-scale feature maps are fused and then enhanced via the channel information enhancement module. The two small-scale feature maps are fused and then enhanced via a spatial information enhancement module, and the four upsampling feature maps are finally concatenated to form the input of the Softmax. We used high resolution remote sensing images of Lake Erhai in Yunnan Province in China, collected by GF-2, to make one dataset with a fine-grained semantic label and a dual-temporal image-pair label to train our model, and the experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method and the accuracy of LightNet; the pixel-level semantic change detection methods are up to 89% and 86%, respectively.

Semantic segmentation plays a pivotal role in the intelligent interpretation of remote sensing images (RSIs). However, conventional methods predominantly focus on learning representations within the spatial domain, often resulting in suboptimal discriminative capabilities. Given the intrinsic spectral characteristics of RSIs, it becomes imperative to enhance the discriminative potential of these representations by integrating spectral context alongside spatial information. In this paper, we introduce the spectrum-space collaborative network (SSCNet), which is designed to capture both spectral and spatial dependencies, thereby elevating the quality of semantic segmentation in RSIs. Our innovative approach features a joint spectral–spatial attention module (JSSA) that concurrently employs spectral attention (SpeA) and spatial attention (SpaA). Instead of feature-level aggregation, we propose the fusion of attention maps to gather spectral and spatial contexts from their respective branches. Within SpeA, we calculate the position-wise spectral similarity using the complex spectral Euclidean distance (CSED) of the real and imaginary components of projected feature maps in the frequency domain. To comprehensively calculate both spectral and spatial losses, we introduce edge loss, Dice loss, and cross-entropy loss, subsequently merging them with appropriate weighting. Extensive experiments on the ISPRS Potsdam and LoveDA datasets underscore SSCNet’s superior performance compared with several state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, an ablation study confirms the efficacy of SpeA. Full article
