Attention Enhanced U-Net for Building Extraction from Farmland Based on Google and WorldView-2 Remote Sensing Images

However, the types of ground features in farmland are complex, the buildings are scattered and may be obscured by clouds or vegetation, leading to problems such as a low extraction accuracy in the existing methods. In response to the above problems, this paper proposes a method of attention-enhanced U-Net for building extraction from farmland, based on Google and WorldView-2 remote sensing images.
