Learning to detect cloud and snow in remote sensing images from noisy labels (2401.08932v1)

Published 17 Jan 2024 in cs.CV and cs.AI

Abstract: Detecting clouds and snow in remote sensing images is an essential preprocessing task for remote sensing imagery. Previous works draw inspiration from semantic segmentation models in computer vision, with most research focusing on improving model architectures to enhance detection performance. However, unlike natural images, the complexity of scenes and the diversity of cloud types in remote sensing images result in many inaccurate labels in cloud and snow detection datasets, introducing unnecessary noises into the training and testing processes. By constructing a new dataset and proposing a novel training strategy with the curriculum learning paradigm, we guide the model in reducing overfitting to noisy labels. Additionally, we design a more appropriate model performance evaluation method, that alleviates the performance assessment bias caused by noisy labels. By conducting experiments on models with UNet and Segformer, we have validated the effectiveness of our proposed method. This paper is the first to consider the impact of label noise on the detection of clouds and snow in remote sensing images.
