As the basic unit of farmland, parcel is crucial for remote sensing tasks, such as urban management. Previous studies of farmland parcels extraction are based on boundary detection and instance segmentation methods. However, these methods perform poorly in the parcels with complex shape and fuzzy boundary due to the insufficient feature extraction capability. Moreover, for the lack of multi-scale features extraction and fusion, they are difficult to extract different scale farmland parcels accurately. Based on these issues, we propose a Fuzzy-Boundary Enhanced Trident Network, named FBETNet, to enhance the feature of fuzzy boundary and generate multi-scale parcels. First, a semantic-guided multi-task strategy is introduced in order to enhance the feature of fuzzy boundary. Second, we design a multiscale trident module to further improve the performance of multiscale feature extraction. Finally, a adversarial data augmentation strategy is employed in the training phase to strengthen the robustness and stability of out proposed method. Experiments show that our proposed method improves significantly in both accuracy and visualization, especially for the parcels with fuzzy boundary and complex shape.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
