- 通过多源土地覆盖产品一致性生成高质量弱标签
- 融合时空相似性约束,提升模型对错误标签的鲁棒性
- 支持数据稀缺场景,适合农业监测与政策制定者
准确的大规模农田制图对农业生产管理至关重要。现有遥感与深度学习方法虽表现优异,但依赖大量精确标注,成本高昂。为此,本文提出一种考虑多时相信息的弱监督框架,利用全球土地覆盖产品(GLC)的一致性提取高质量标签作为监督信号。为缓解模型过度信任标签中残余误差导致的过拟合问题,引入视觉与空间域的作物相似性/聚合性作为无监督信号,并作为正则项约束监督部分;同时在缺乏高质量标签的样本中融入该无监督信号,丰富特征空间多样性。为进一步捕捉农田物候特征,扩展框架至密集卫星影像时序(SITS),可视化高维物候特征,揭示多时相信息对农田提取的增益作用,并评估了数据稀缺条件下的鲁棒性。实验验证该框架在湖南、东南法、堪萨斯三个区域均具强适应性,内部机制与时间泛化能力亦被深入分析。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurately mapping large-scale cropland is crucial for agricultural production management and planning. Currently, the combination of remote sensing data and deep learning techniques has shown outstanding performance in cropland mapping. However, those approaches require massive precise labels, which are labor-intensive. To reduce the label cost, this study presented a weakly supervised framework considering multi-temporal information for large-scale cropland mapping. Specifically, we extract high-quality labels according to their consistency among global land cover (GLC) products to construct the supervised learning signal. On the one hand, to alleviate the overfitting problem caused by the model's over-trust of remaining errors in high-quality labels, we encode the similarity/aggregation of cropland in the visual/spatial domain to construct the unsupervised learning signal, and take it as the regularization term to constrain the supervised part. On the other hand, to sufficiently leverage the plentiful information in the samples without high-quality labels, we also incorporate the unsupervised learning signal in these samples, enriching the diversity of the feature space. After that, to capture the phenological features of croplands, we introduce dense satellite image time series (SITS) to extend the proposed framework in the temporal dimension. We also visualized the high dimensional phenological features to uncover how multi-temporal information benefits cropland extraction, and assessed the method's robustness under conditions of data scarcity. The proposed framework has been experimentally validated for strong adaptability across three study areas (Hunan Province, Southeast France, and Kansas) in large-scale cropland mapping, and the internal mechanism and temporal generalizability are also investigated.
