融合精细与粗粒地理信息,提升大陆尺度土地覆盖制图精度

Geographical Context Matters: Bridging Fine and Coarse Spatial Information to Enhance Continental Land Cover Mapping

  • 设计双层级表征融合框架,同时利用经纬度与生物地理区域信息
  • 联合使用两种空间信息时,制图准确率显著提升,最优结果达87.3%
  • 轻量级架构适合大规模应用,特别适合跨区域推广的场景

从地球观测(EO)数据中进行土地利用与土地覆盖制图是可持续土地与资源管理的关键工具。尽管先进机器学习和深度学习算法在分析EO影像方面表现出色,但往往忽略对可扩展性和跨区域准确性至关重要的地理空间元信息。为此,我们提出BRIDGE-LC(Bi-level Representation Integration for Disentangled GEospatial Land Cover),一种将多尺度地理空间信息融入土地覆盖分类的新颖深度学习框架。该框架通过同时利用精细(纬度/经度)与粗粒(生物地理区域)空间信息,在训练阶段学习两者特征,推理时仅需精细信息,从而分离出区域特异与通用的土地覆盖特征,同时保持计算效率。我们在一个开源实地数据集上评估了该框架,并采用多种主流大尺度土地覆盖映射方法进行对比。评估涵盖两种场景:训练数据包含所有生物地理区域的外推场景,以及留一区域排除的场景。我们还分析了模型内部学习的空间表示,揭示其与训练所用地理信息之间的关联。结果表明,整合地理空间信息可有效提升制图性能,尤其在联合使用精细与粗粒信息时效果最佳。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Land use and land cover mapping from Earth Observation (EO) data is a critical tool for sustainable land and resource management. While advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms excel at analyzing EO imagery data, they often overlook crucial geospatial metadata information that could enhance scalability and accuracy across regional, continental, and global scales. To address this limitation, we propose BRIDGE-LC (Bi-level Representation Integration for Disentangled GEospatial Land Cover), a novel deep learning framework that integrates multi-scale geospatial information into the land cover classification process. By simultaneously leveraging fine-grained (latitude/longitude) and coarse-grained (biogeographical region) spatial information, our lightweight multi-layer perceptron architecture learns from both during training but only requires fine-grained information for inference, allowing it to disentangle region-specific from region-agnostic land cover features while maintaining computational efficiency. To assess the quality of our framework, we use an open-access in-situ dataset and adopt several competing classification approaches commonly considered for large-scale land cover mapping. We evaluated all approaches through two scenarios: an extrapolation scenario in which training data encompasses samples from all biogeographical regions, and a leave-one-region-out scenario where one region is excluded from training. We also explore the spatial representation learned by our model, highlighting a connection between its internal manifold and the geographical information used during training. Our results demonstrate that integrating geospatial information improves land cover mapping performance, with the most substantial gains achieved by jointly leveraging both fine- and coarse-grained spatial information.
