| Résumé: | The complexity of scene images makes the research on remote-sensing image scene classification challenging. With the wide application of deep learning in recent years, many remote-sensing scene classification methods using a convolutional neural network (CNN) have emerged. Current CNN usually output global information by integrating the depth features extricated from the convolutional layer through the fully connected layer; however, the global information extracted is not comprehensive. This paper proposes an improved remote-sensing image scene classification method based on a global self-attention module to address this problem. The global information is derived from the depth characteristics extracted by the CNN. In order to better express the semantic information of the remote-sensing image, the multi-head self-attention module is introduced for global information augmentation. Meanwhile, the local perception unit is utilized to improve the self-attention module’s representation capabilities for local objects. The proposed method’s effectiveness is validated through comparative experiments with various training ratios and different scales on public datasets (UC Merced, AID, and NWPU-NESISC45). The precision of our proposed model is significantly improved compared to other methods for remote-sensing image scene classification. |
