Remote sensing (RS) scene classification is a challenging task to predict scene categories of RS images. RS images have two main characters: large intra-class variance caused by large resolution variance and confusing information from large geographic covering area. To ease the negative influence from the above two characters. We propose a Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Ensemble Network (MGML-FENet) to efficiently tackle RS scene classification task in this paper. Specifically, we propose Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Fusion Branch (MGML-FFB) to extract multi-granularity features in different levels of network by channel-separate feature generator (CS-FG). To avoid the interference from confusing information, we propose Multi-granularity Multi-Level Feature Ensemble Module (MGML-FEM) which can provide diverse predictions by full-channel feature generator (FC-FG). Compared to previous methods, our proposed networks have ability to use structure information and abundant fine-grained features. Furthermore, through ensemble learning method, our proposed MGML-FENets can obtain more convincing final predictions. Extensive classification experiments on multiple RS datasets (AID, NWPU-RESISC45, UC-Merced and VGoogle) demonstrate that our proposed networks achieve better performance than previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) networks. The visualization analysis also shows the good interpretability of MGML-FENet.

Recognising remote sensing scene images remains challenging due to large visual-semantic discrepancies. These mainly arise due to the lack of detailed annotations that can be employed to align pixel-level representations with high-level semantic labels. As the tagging process is labour-intensive and subjective, we hereby propose a novel Multi-Granularity Canonical Appearance Pooling (MG-CAP) to automatically capture the latent ontological structure of remote sensing datasets. We design a granular framework that allows progressively cropping the input image to learn multi-grained features. For …

Arbitrary-oriented object detection (AOOD) plays a significant role for image understanding in remote sensing scenarios. The existing AOOD methods face the challenges of ambiguity and high costs in angle representation. To this end, a multi-grained angle representation (MGAR) method, consisting of coarse-grained angle classification (CAC) and fine-grained angle regression (FAR), is proposed. Specifically, the designed CAC avoids the ambiguity of angle prediction by discrete angular encoding (DAE) and reduces complexity by coarsening the granularity of DAE. Based on CAC, FAR is developed to ref…

Despite abundant data on the spatial distribution of contemporary human settlements, historical data on the long-term evolution of human settlements at fine spatial and temporal granularity is scarce, limiting our quantitative understanding of long-term changes of built-up areas. This is because commonly used mapping methods (e.g., image classification) and suitable data sources (i.e., aerial imagery, multi-spectral remote sensing data, LiDAR) have only been available in recent decades. However, there are alternative data sources such as cadastral records that are digitally available, containi…

Automated radiology report generation aims at automatically generating a detailed description of medical images, which can greatly alleviate the workload of radiologists and provide better medical services to remote areas. Most existing works pay attention to the holistic impression of medical images, failing to utilize important anatomy information. However, in actual clinical practice, radiologists usually locate important anatomical structures, and then look for signs of abnormalities in certain structures and reason the underlying disease. In this paper, we propose a novel framework AGFNet…
