.The unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) of aerial image classification is of great significance in the traffic management and public safety applications. Due to the differences in the distribution of source and target domain datasets from different sensors and cities, and the acquisition difficulty and high annotation cost of target domain datasets, existing domain adaptive methods have difficulty obtaining high accuracy and stability. In this work, a modified cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) (MGAN) based on the multiscale residual block (MSRB) and multipooling coordinate attention (MPCA) modules is proposed to generate fake images, which is the most critical stage of the UDA method. In the MGAN, the MSRB module can extract the multiscale information of the image, and the MPCA module can fuse the position and channel information in the image. These two modules better extract the features of edges, regions and semantic classes, which makes the generated fake images better retain the information of the source domain and possess the style of the target domain. Otherwise, the Deeplabv3+ model is used to obtain a pretrained and final segmentation model in the first and third stages. In the experiment, the proposed method is validated on the aerial images of the Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets in the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) two-dimensional semantic labeling benchmark and improves overall accuracy from 52% to 60% on the segmentation of the target domain, compared with the existing optimal method; it also achieves an accuracy of 77% for buildings. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve a higher accuracy and stability.
