The paper proposes a generalized few-shot segmentation-based framework, called SegLand, to rapidly update land-cover maps in response to changes in natural and human activities. The approach is designed to address the challenge of discovering newly appeared land-cover types in existing classification systems, which is hindered by complex land objects at various scales and insufficient labeled data over a wide geographic area. The framework consists of three parts: data pre-processing, hybrid segmentation structure, and ultimate fusion. The latter combines multiple base learners with a modified Projection onto Orthogonal Prototypes (POP) network to enhance base-class recognition and extract novel classes from limited label data.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The SegLand framework is designed for high-resolution land-cover mapping and has won first place in the OpenEarthMap Land Cover Mapping Few-Shot Challenge. The approach can automatically update novel land-cover classes with limited labeled data, making it a vital tool for rapidly updating land-cover maps in response to changes on the ground.
