• Abstract: The binary segmentation of roads in very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing images (RSIs) has always been a challenging task due to factors such as occlusions (caused by shadows, trees, buildings, etc.) and the intra-class variances of road surfaces. The wide use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has greatly improved the segmentation accuracy and made the task end-to-end trainable. However, there are still margins to improve in terms of the completeness and connectivity of the results. In this paper, we consider the specific context of road extraction and present a direction-aware residual network (DiResNet) that includes three main contributions: 1) An asymmetric residual segmentation network with deconvolutional layers and a structural supervision to enhance the learning of road topology (DiResSeg); 2) A pixel-level supervision of local directions to enhance the embedding of linear features; 3) A refinement network to optimize the segmentation results (DiResRef). Ablation studies on two benchmark datasets (the Massachusetts dataset and the DeepGlobe dataset) have confirmed the effectiveness of the presented designs. Comparative experiments with other approaches show that the proposed method has advantages in both overall accuracy and F1-score. The code is available at: https://github.com/ggsDing/DiResNet.

  Existing road pothole detection approaches can be classified as computer vision-based or machine learning-based.

We propose a novel CNN layer, referred to as graph attention layer (GAL), which can be easily deployed in any existing CNN to optimize image feature representations for semantic segmentation.

  Location information is proven to benefit the deep learning models on capturing the manifold structure of target objects.
