Object-Based Convolutional Neural Networks for Cloud and Snow Detection in High-Resolution Multispectral Imagers
Cloud and snow detection is one of the most significant tasks for remote sensing image processing. However, it is a challenging task to distinguish between clouds and snow in high-resolution multispectral images due to their similar spectral distributions. The shortwave infrared band (SWIR, e.g., Sentinel-2A 1.55⁻1.75 µm band) is widely applied to the detection of snow and clouds. However, high-resolution multispectral images have a lack of SWIR, and such traditional methods are no longer practical. To solve this problem, a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify cloud and snow on an object level is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a novel CNN structure capable of learning cloud and snow multiscale semantic features from high-resolution multispectral imagery is presented. In order to solve the shortcoming of “salt-and-pepper„ in pixel level predictions, we extend a simple linear iterative clustering algorithm for segmenting high-resolution multispectral images and generating superpixels. Results demonstrated that the new proposed method can with better precision separate the cloud and snow in the high-resolution image, and results are more accurate and robust compared to the other methods.
