Non-local Dense RepPoints for Instance Segmentation in Remote Sensing
Abstract—Recent advances in deep convolutional neural networks have significantly improved instance segmentation. In large-scale remote sensing images, however, the high density, arbitrary shapes and orientation, large aspect ratios, and huge scale variation of the objects pose significant challenges to general instance segmentation algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new framework, called non-local dense RepPoints, to improve the performance of instance segmentation in remote sensing images. First, we propose a hierarchical non-local block that iteratively integrates global information, and our method enables the model to accurately represent the relationship between two locations. Second, we enhance Dense RepPoints by designing an efficient dynamic vector to more efficiently model the objects by a large number of adaptive points. We conduct experiments on the iSAID dataset and compare our method with several commonly-used state-of-the-art networks. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach can achieve promising results.
