• Abstract: Very high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing (RS) scene classification is a challenging task due to the higher inter-class similarity and intra-class variability problems. Recently, the existing deep learning (DL)-based methods have shown great promise in VHR RS scene classification. However, they still provide an unstable classification performance. To address such a problem, we, in this letter, propose a novel DL-based approach. For this, we devise an enhanced VHR attention module (EAM), followed by the atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) and global average pooling (GAP). This procedure imparts the enhanced features from the corresponding level. Then, the multi-level feature fusion is performed. Experimental results on two widely-used VHR RS datasets show that the proposed approach yields a competitive and stable/robust classification performance with the least standard deviation of 0.001. Further, the highest overall accuracies on the AID and the NWPU datasets are 95.39% and 93.04%, respectively.

  Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has been proposed as a solution, yet its application in federated learning is complicated by discordance in aggregation. Existing methods addressing this discordance often suffer from performance degradation at low ranks in heterogeneous data settings. We introduce LoRA-A2 (Low Rank Adaptation with Alternating freeze and Adaptive rank selection), which demonstrates robustness in challenging settings with low ranks and high data heterogeneity.

  We propose to use powerful pre-trained high-level features as guidance (HFG) for the upsampler to produce robust results. Specifically, the high-level features from the backbone are used to train the class tokens, which are then reused by the upsampler for classification. To push the upper limit of HFG, we introduce a context augmentation encoder (CAE) that can efficiently and effectively operate on the low-resolution high-level feature.

  We show that the ability of a classifier to make the 'none-of-above' decision is highly correlated with its accuracy on the closed-set classes. We use this correlation to boost the performance of the cross-entropy OSR 'baseline' by improving its closed-set accuracy. We also construct new benchmarks which better respect the task of detecting semantic novelty.
