Abstract
- Abstract In the field of remote sensing image interpretation, automatically extracting water body information from high-resolution images is a key task. However, facing the complex multi-scale features in high-resolution remote sensing images, traditional methods and basic deep convolutional neural networks are difficult to effectively capture the global spatial relationship of the target objects, resulting in incomplete, rough shape and blurred edges of the extracted water body information. Meanwhile, massive image data processing usually leads to computational resource overload and inefficiency. Fortunately, the local data processing capability of edge computing combined with the powerful computational resources of cloud centres can provide timely and efficient computation and storage for high-resolution remote sensing image segmentation. In this regard, this paper proposes PMNet, a lightweight deep learning network for edge-cloud collaboration, which utilises a pipelined multi-step aggregation method to capture image information at different scales and understand the relationships between remote pixels through horizontal and vertical spatial dimensions. Also, it adopts a combination of multiple decoding branches in the decoding stage instead of the traditional single decoding branch. The accuracy of the results is improved while reducing the consumption of system resources. The model obtained F1-score of 90.22 and 88.57 on Landsat-8 and GID remote sensing image datasets with low model complexity, which is better than other semantic segmentation models, highlighting the potential of mobile edge computing in processing massive high-resolution remote sensing image data.
