Abstract:

Deep learning is an effective technical method to enhance the recognition accuracy of remote sensing image target. To solve the problem of the complicated steps in road recognition from Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) images, this paper proposes a SAR image road recognition method based on deep learning. First, based on the traditional Full Convolution Neural Network(FCNN), a New Convolution Neural Network(NCNN) is constructed by revising the activation function to effectively alleviate the loss of road information. Then, the NCNN is applied to road recognition experiments of simulated SAR images and real SAR images with self-constructed road label sets to improve the robustness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the NCNN can be used to identify the overall characteristics of the road with higher accuracy and better reliability in comparison with the Support Vector Machine(SVM), traditional FCNN and other algorithms.
