遥感语义分割借助多模态数据(如可见光影像与数字表面模型,DSM)取得显著进展,二者分别提供地物上下文与结构信息。然而,传统融合方式存在两大问题:架构冗余导致计算开销大,模态错位造成分割性能下降。为解决此问题,本文提出异构多模态网络(AMMNet),通过三项设计实现高效鲁棒的分割。首先,异构双编码器(ADE)根据模态特性分配容量:对彩色影像使用深层编码器提取丰富上下文,对稀疏的DSM采用轻量编码器提取结构特征。其次,异构先验融合模块(APF)引入模态感知先验矩阵,生成结构感知的上下文特征。此外,分布对齐(DA)模块通过最小化特征分布差异,增强跨模态兼容性。在ISPRS Vaihingen和Potsdam数据集上的实验表明,AMMNet在多模态网络中达到最优分割精度,同时显著降低计算与内存开销。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Semantic segmentation in remote sensing (RS) has advanced significantly with the incorporation of multi-modal data, particularly the integration of RGB imagery and the Digital Surface Model (DSM), which provides complementary contextual and structural information about the ground object. However, integrating RGB and DSM often faces two major limitations: increased computational complexity due to architectural redundancy, and degraded segmentation performance caused by modality misalignment. These issues undermine the efficiency and robustness of semantic segmentation, particularly in complex urban environments where precise multi-modal integration is essential. To overcome these limitations, we propose Asymmetric Multi-Modal Network (AMMNet), a novel asymmetric architecture that achieves robust and efficient semantic segmentation through three designs tailored for RGB-DSM input pairs. To reduce architectural redundancy, the Asymmetric Dual Encoder (ADE) module assigns representational capacity based on modality-specific characteristics, employing a deeper encoder for RGB imagery to capture rich contextual information and a lightweight encoder for DSM to extract sparse structural features. Besides, to facilitate modality alignment, the Asymmetric Prior Fuser (APF) integrates a modality-aware prior matrix into the fusion process, enabling the generation of structure-aware contextual features. Additionally, the Distribution Alignment (DA) module enhances cross-modal compatibility by aligning feature distributions through divergence minimization. Extensive experiments on the ISPRS Vaihingen and Potsdam datasets demonstrate that AMMNet attains state-of-the-art segmentation accuracy among multi-modal networks while reducing computational and memory requirements.
