提出新型稀疏注意力U-Net，高效分割复杂道路网络。

The challenges of road network segmentation demand an algorithm capable of adapting to the sparse and irregular shapes, as well as the diverse context, which often leads traditional encoding-decoding methods and simple Transformer embeddings to failure. We introduce a computationally efficient and powerful framework for elegant road-aware segmentation. Our method, called URoadNet, effectively encodes fine-grained local road connectivity and holistic global topological semantics while decoding multiscale road network information. URoadNet offers a novel alternative to the U-Net architecture by integrating connectivity attention, which can exploit intra-road interactions across multi-level sampling features with reduced computational complexity. This local interaction serves as valuable prior information for learning global interactions between road networks and the background through another integrality attention mechanism. The two forms of sparse attention are arranged alternatively and complementarily, and trained jointly, resulting in performance improvements without significant increases in computational complexity. Extensive experiments on various datasets with different resolutions, including Massachusetts, DeepGlobe, SpaceNet, and Large-Scale remote sensing images, demonstrate that URoadNet outperforms state-of-the-art techniques. Our approach represents a significant advancement in the field of road network extraction, providing a computationally feasible solution that achieves high-quality segmentation results.
