AID: A Benchmark Dataset for Performance Evaluation of Aerial Scene Classification

TLDR
The Aerial Image data set (AID), a large-scale data set for aerial scene classification, is described to advance the state of the arts in scene classification of remote sensing images and can be served as the baseline results on this benchmark.
Abstract
Aerial scene classification, which aims to automatically label an aerial image with a specific semantic category, is a fundamental problem for understanding high-resolution remote sensing imagery. In recent years, it has become an active task in remote sensing area and numerous algorithms have been proposed for this task, including many machine learning and data-driven approaches. However, the existing datasets for aerial scene classification like UC-Merced dataset and WHU-RS19 are with relatively small sizes, and the results on them are already saturated. This largely limits the development of scene classification algorithms. This paper describes the Aerial Image Dataset (AID): a large-scale dataset for aerial scene classification. The goal of AID is to advance the state-of-the-arts in scene classification of remote sensing images. For creating AID, we collect and annotate more than ten thousands aerial scene images. In addition, a comprehensive review of the existing aerial scene classification techniques as well as recent widely-used deep learning methods is given. Finally, we provide a performance analysis of typical aerial scene classification and deep learning approaches on AID, which can be served as the baseline results on this benchmark.

Scene Classification With Recurrent Attention of VHR Remote Sensing Images

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel end-to-end attention recurrent convolutional network (ARCNet) for scene classification that can learn to focus selectively on some key regions or locations and just process them at high-level features, thereby discarding the noncritical information and promoting the classification performance.
