With the development of remote sensing imaging technology, remote sensing images with high-resolution and complex structure can be acquired easily. The classification of remote sensing images is always a hot and challenging problem. In order to improve the performance of remote sensing image classification, we propose an adaptive multiscale deep fusion residual network (AMDF-ResNet). The AMDF-ResNet consists of a backbone network and a fusion network. The backbone network including several residual blocks generates multiscale hierarchy features, which contain semantic information from low to high levels. In the fusion network, the adaptive feature fusion module proposed can emphasize useful information and suppress useless information by learning the weights, which represent the importance of the features. The AMDF-ResNet can make full use of the multiscale hierarchy features and the extracted feature is discriminative. In addition, we propose a samples selection method named important samples selection strategy (ISSS). Based on superpixels segmentation result, gradient information and spatial distribution are used as two references to determine the selection numbers and select samples. Compared with the random selection strategy, training samples selected by ISSS are more representative and diverse. The experimental results on four data sets demonstrate that the AMDF-ResNet and ISSS are effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
