Constructions around them can negatively impact their water quality. Such constructions can be detected by segmenting man-made objects around reservoirs in the remote sensing (RS) images. Deep learning (DL) has attracted considerable attention in recent years as a method for segmenting the RS imagery into different land covers/uses and has achieved remarkable success. We develop an approach based on DL and image processing techniques for man-made object segmentation around the reservoirs. In order to segment man-made objects around the reservoirs in an end-to-end procedure, segmenting reservoirs and identifying the region of interest (RoI) around them are essential. In the proposed two-phase workflow, the reservoir is initially segmented using a DL model, and a postprocessing stage is proposed to remove errors, such as floating vegetation in the generated reservoir map. In the second phase, the RoI around the reservoir (RoIaR) is extracted using the proposed image processing techniques. Finally, the man-made objects in the RoIaR are segmented using a DL model. To illustrate the proposed approach, our task of interest is segmenting man-made objects around some of the most important reservoirs in Brazil. Therefore, we trained the proposed workflow using collected Google Earth images of eight reservoirs in Brazil over two different years. The U-Net-based and SegNet-based architectures are trained to segment the reservoirs. To segment man-made objects in the RoIaR, we trained and evaluated four architectures: U-Net, feature pyramid network, LinkNet, and pyramid scene parsing network. Although the collected data are highly diverse (for example, they belong to different states, seasons, resolutions, etc.), we achieved good performances in both phases. The F 1 -score of phase-1 and phase-2 highest performance models in segmenting test sets are 96.53% and 90.32%, respectively. Furthermore, applying the proposed postprocessing to the output of reservoir segmentation improves the precision in all studied reservoirs except two cases. We validated the prepared workflow with a reservoir dataset outside the training reservoirs. The F 1 -scores of the phase-1 segmentation stage, postprocessing stage, and phase-2 segmentation stage are 92.54%, 94.68%, and 88.11%, respectively, which show high generalization ability of the prepared workflow.
