[0002] Remote sensing image segmentation, as a core technology in the fields of geographic information systems, urban planning, agricultural monitoring, and disaster assessment, has received extensive attention in recent years. The goal of remote sensing image segmentation is to semantically classify the pixels in high-resolution remote sensing images and accurately assign each pixel to the corresponding land cover category, such as buildings, water bodies, roads, farmland, and forest land.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0052] The embodiments of the present application disclose a remote sensing image segmentation method based on cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising the following steps:

[0053] S1. Preprocess the input remote sensing image , and input the initial convolution layer to extract low-level texture and edge features, and obtain the initial feature X0=Conv(I), wherein Conv represents the convolution layer;

[0054] S2. Input the initial feature X0 into the constructed cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment network, enhance through sparse channel and spatial alignment, and refine spatial pixels and align channels, fuse multi-modal and cross-scale remote sensing image structure information, and obtain first-stage fusion features

[0055] S3. Input the first-stage fusion features into the constructed multi-stage cross-paradigm enhanced feature extraction network, fuse local details and global context information through multi-level information interaction and dynamic gating mechanism, and gradually extract joint feature maps with collaborative expression of semantics and spatial structure.

[0056] S3. Generate the final semantic segmentation result according to the joint feature map through the segmentation head, and calculate the composite loss based on the real label to optimize the model parameters.

[0057] In order to further implement the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 The specific content of step S2 includes:

[0058] S21. Linearly transform the input features through the convolution layer to extract preliminary semantic features.

[0059] Let the input feature be Where H, W and C are the height, width and channel number of the feature map, and the preliminary semantic representation is

[0060] S22. Strengthen the response of key areas through sparse attention mechanism and spatial alignment strategy for the preliminary semantic features, and obtain sparse channel features and sparse channel spatial weights.

[0061] S23. Enhance the spatial structure perception ability of the preliminary semantic features in pixel units, and selectively align the channels, spatial enhancement features and spatial alignment weights.

[0062] S24. Weighted fusion is performed on the sparse channel features and spatial enhancement features respectively, and the fusion result is output through linear transformation.

[0063] In order to further implement the above technical solutions, the specific content of step S22 includes:

[0064] S221. Send the preliminary semantic features into four parallel sub-branches with different but complementary functions respectively, form a multi-view feature perception mechanism, generate a query matrix Q, a key matrix K, a sparse attention index p and a value matrix V.

[0065] Specifically:

[0066] The first branch is used to generate a query matrix Q, which is obtained by concatenating a standard convolution operation and a depth separable convolution operation, effectively reducing the computational complexity while maintaining spatial perception. The core purpose is to extract potential attention query vectors from the input features to capture structural information with significant differences in the image The query matrix Q plays a role in focusing on the target area in the attention mechanism and is the key starting point for matching relationships.

[0067] The second branch is used to generate a key matrix K, which has the same structure as the first branch and also uses convolution and depth separable convolution. The purpose is to form key vectors that are semantically aligned with query vectors to capture similar response positions in the entire image In remote sensing images, similar object classes may appear in different spatial positions, so this branch helps to achieve spatial matching at the semantic level.

[0068] The third branch is used to generate a sparse attention index ρ, which is obtained by layer-by-layer compression and nonlinear mapping operations. It adaptively learns the distribution probability of important attention channels to eliminate low-value attention connections. The entire process is represented as:

[0069]

[0070] where Norm(·) is the normalization operation, σ represents the Sigmoid activation function, Flatten is the flattening operation, and GAP represents global average pooling. This structure effectively captures the importance scores across channels and plays a "channel gating" role in the sparse attention mechanism, focusing calculations on high-contribution channels and improving computational efficiency and model discrimination.

[0071] The fourth branch is used to generate a value matrix V, which also uses a cascade of convolution and depth separable convolution. The purpose is to generate value vectors for attention matrix weighting, which contains spatial semantics and contextual features of the image:

[0072]

[0073] In the cross-region feature fusion process, V serves as the carrier of feature responses, and its information expression quality directly affects the representation effect after attention enhancement.

[0074] S222. Construct a sparse attention map, reshape Q and K, and perform dot product to obtain an initial attention matrix According to the index ρ, filter the key attention scores to obtain a sparse attention map and after using Softmax activation, it acts on V to obtain sparse channel features The sparse channel features Through convolution, GELU activation, re-convolution and Sigmoid, a channel space fusion weight is obtained

[0075] To further implement the above technical solution, the specific content of step S23 includes:

[0076] S231. Generating a spatial alignment weight:

[0077]

[0078] S232. Enhancing the spatial response by combining the weight through global average pooling to generate a spatial enhancement feature:

[0079]

[0080] S233. Generating a spatial alignment weight based on the spatial enhancement feature:

[0081]

[0082] In this embodiment, the fusion result output by step S24 is:

[0083]

[0084] Wherein, ⊙ represents point-by-point multiplication, represents feature addition.

[0085] In this embodiment, the cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment network is to better fuse the feature representations of different scales and different modalities (such as optical and SAR) in remote sensing images, and improve the segmentation capability for fine-grained structures and semantic regions.

[0086] To further implement the above technical solution, the specific content of step S3 includes:

[0087] S31. Constructing a multi-scale information flow gating network to perform normalization operation on the first stage fusion feature Wherein, Norm represents the normalization operation, then a lightweight gating mechanism is formed through two parallel sub-paths to obtain the fusion feature X, and then 1×1 convolution is performed for channel restoration, and the normalized feature is connected in residual to obtain the first stage low-level enhancement feature This operation improves the stability and semantic consistency of feature transmission;

[0088] ​​S32. Multi-stage alternating fusion: the first stage low-level enhanced features are sequentially input into a set of stacked cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment networks and multi-scale information flow gating networks to obtain second stage enhanced features and third stage enhanced features, and after a concatenation operation, the features are further input into a set of stacked cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment networks and multi-scale information flow gating networks to obtain high-level abstract features;

[0089] In this embodiment, the multi-stage alternating stacked fusion structure progressively enhances the features layer by layer. Specifically, the enhanced features output by the previous stage are first input into a cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment network again to extract more complete context semantics, and then the features are input into a multi-scale information flow gating network to strengthen the adaptive perception of spatial scale changes. After the first round of fusion, the intermediate features obtained are again subjected to the above processing procedure to form second round enhanced features. After two rounds of stacking, the features extracted in the two stages are concatenated to form composite feature representations with multi-scale responses. The concatenated features are further input into a set of cross-paradigm feature fusion modules and information flow gating modules to extract higher-level abstract features, realizing cross-level and cross-semantic deep fusion.

[0090] S33. Global feature aggregation and output: after the multi-stage enhanced feature extraction is completed, the low-level enhanced features generated in the first stage and the high-level abstract features generated in the last stage are concatenated to form a final joint feature map. The joint feature map retains both the texture details of the shallow layer and the semantic expression of the deep layer, and has rich spatial context information.

[0091] In this embodiment, this bottom-up feature aggregation method can effectively improve the segmentation accuracy of complex scenes in remote sensing images, such as urban buildings, road networks, water body boundaries, and farmland regions. It performs better in robustness and expression when dealing with images with large differences in ground object scales and high boundary ambiguity.

[0092] To further implement the above technical solution, step S31, a lightweight gating mechanism is constructed through two parallel sub-paths to obtain the specific content of the fused features, including:

[0093] After the normalization operation, the features input into the two parallel sub-paths. Path A compresses the channel dimension through 1x1 convolution, and then extracts local context information through 3x3 depth separable convolution. Path B compresses the channel dimension through 1x1 convolution, and then models the nonlinear response through 3x3 depth separable convolution and GELU nonlinear activation. The outputs of path A and path B are multiplied point by point to form the fused features.

[0094] In this embodiment, the fused features obtained in step S31 are represented as:

[0095] X+ = DSConv(Conv(X n )) GELU(DSConv(Conv(X n ))

[0096] where, ⊙ represents an element-wise multiplication operation, and DSConv represents a depth separable convolution operation; the two parallel sub-paths constitute a lightweight gating mechanism, which enhances the selective response capability of the model to multi-scale heterogeneous targets.

[0097] To further implement the above technical solution, in step S3, the composite loss includes a pixel-level cross-entropy loss, a boundary perception loss, and a class balance loss.

[0098]

[0099] wherein λ1, λ2, and λ3 are weighting coefficients, is a pixel-level cross-entropy loss, is a boundary perception loss, is a class balance loss.

[0100] In this embodiment, in order to map the feature map to a semantic class probability map, the segmentation head is a lightweight segmentation head, which is composed of a series of convolution layers, up-sampling layers, and a Softmax layer, represents the final output prediction map of the model, wherein H and W are image sizes, and C is the number of ground object classes, and P i represents the prediction probability of the pixel belonging to each class;

[0101] The pixel-level cross-entropy loss is specifically: in order to achieve basic classification accuracy, a conventional multi-class cross-entropy loss function is used to supervise the prediction probability map P and the real label map G pixel by pixel, and let wherein each pixel value is the real ground object class number, and the cross-entropy loss is:

[0102]

[0103] wherein N = H x W, is an indicator function, and if the real class of the i-th pixel is c, then this term takes 1;

[0104] The boundary perception loss and the class balance loss are introduced to further improve the recognition ability of the model to small target boundaries and slender structures (such as roads and rivers), and to solve the class imbalance problem in remote sensing images, and are specifically:

[0105] Boundary perception loss To enhance the sensitivity of the model to the edge structure of the ground object, a boundary loss mechanism is introduced, specifically: the edge extraction operator (such as Sobel or Laplacian) is used on the real label graph G and the prediction graph P to generate the boundary mask E G and E P , and the binary cross-entropy loss between them is calculated:

[0106]

[0107] Wherein, E G = EdgeDetect(G), indicating that the edge detection is performed on the real label graph; E P = EdgeDetect(argmax(P)), indicating that the edge detection is performed on the prediction class graph; the loss term effectively improves the prediction accuracy of the model at the pixel boundary, especially for small targets and regions with obvious structure changes;

[0108] Class balance loss In view of the phenomenon that the class distribution is seriously uneven in the remote sensing image, FocalLoss or Dice Loss is introduced to strengthen the learning ability of difficult classification samples or small class regions. Taking Dice Loss as an example:

[0109]

[0110] Wherein, represents the probability that the ith pixel is predicted as its real class; the numerator is the overlapping part of the prediction and the label, and the denominator is the sum of the total amount of prediction and the total amount of real; Dice Loss can effectively balance the influence of foreground and background, and is especially suitable for small target detection scenes (such as narrow roads, islands, aircraft, etc.);

[0111] The final composite loss function is constructed to constrain the model performance from multiple angles, and the typical values of the weighting coefficients are λ1=1.0, λ2=0.5 and λ3=0.5; the three loss terms can optimize the model performance from the overall accuracy, boundary clarity and class balance; this composite mechanism is especially suitable for multi-target, multi-class and boundary complex remote sensing image tasks.

[0112] In the embodiment, the application proposes a multi-stage cross-paradigm enhanced fusion remote sensing image segmentation system, a cross-paradigm feature extraction structure combining the advantages of Transformer and CNN is constructed, through sparse attention mechanism, spatial alignment strategy, multi-scale information flow gating network, and boundary perception and class balance supervision mechanism, the accurate modeling of complex ground objects in remote sensing images is realized;

[0113] Specifically, a multi-stage cross-paradigm enhanced feature extraction network is constructed, a multi-level and alternating information enhancement mechanism is used to fuse local texture and global context, and high-quality feature maps that cooperatively express semantics and spatial structure are gradually extracted; In this process, the dynamic gating mechanism can adjust the features according to the feature scale and semantic intensity, effectively dealing with the expression deviation of heterogeneous targets.

[0114] A cross-paradigm feature fusion and alignment network is introduced, a four-branch structure is designed to model the query, key, value matrix and channel importance index, and the spatial reconstruction and channel compression strategy is used to improve the alignment ability of multi-modal information in space and the fusion effect in semantics; At the same time, combined with the spatial pixel refining and channel alignment module, the spatial structure perception enhancement and channel level response difference calibration are realized, which effectively enhances the sensitivity of the model to complex texture regions and structure boundaries.

[0115] In view of the small target detection difficulty and class imbalance problem in remote sensing images, a composite supervision mechanism including cross-entropy loss, boundary perception loss and class balance loss is designed; Among them, the boundary loss significantly improves the response ability of the model to the pixel edge region, and the class balance loss (such as Dice or FocalLoss) enhances the robustness of the model in the detection of minority classes; The segmentation head part adopts a lightweight structure, and the final semantic segmentation result is output by combining the Softmax probability mapping, to ensure the effective balance between model accuracy and computational efficiency.

[0116] In summary, the present application provides a systematic solution to the precision bottleneck, boundary ambiguity and class imbalance problems in remote sensing image segmentation by integrating multi-stage progressive feature extraction, cross-paradigm fusion and alignment, spatial channel joint regulation, and composite supervision optimization, which has wide practical application prospects and research value.
