Abstract
Extracting buildings from high-resolution remote sensing images is currently a research hotspot in the field of remote sensing applications. Deep learning methods have significantly improved the accuracy of building extraction, but there are still deficiencies such as blurred edges, incomplete structures and loss of details in the extraction results. To obtain accurate contours and clear boundaries of buildings, this article proposes a novel building extraction method utilizing multi-scale attention gate and enhanced positional information. By employing U-Net as the main framework, this article introduces a multi-scale attention gate module in the encoder, which effectively improves the ability to capture multi-scale information, and designs a module in the decoder to enhance the positional information of the features, allowing for more precise localization and extraction of the shape…
