A divided and stratified extraction method of high-resolution remote sensing information for cropland in hilly and mountainous areas based on deep learning

Cropland is a scarce land resource in hilly and mountainous areas, which has the characteristics of complex topographic conditions and diverse planting structures, leading to the difficulty of rapid and accurate acquisition of cropland information in mountainous areas. Therefore, it is difficult to extract the cropland information in mountainous areas quickly and automatically based on the traditional remote sensing data and remote sensing monitoring methods. Aiming at this problem, this paper takes Xifeng County of Guizhou Province in the southwest mountainous area as the experimental area. According to the heterogeneity of geospatial space, this paper proposes the idea of cropland morphological information extraction by geographical division control and stratification extraction, and constructs a method for extracting cropland morphological information based on geographical division control and stratification extraction under the constraints of geomorphic unit. Firstly, according to the geomorphology-vegetation characteristics, the experimental area is divided into three geographical zones: flatland, hillside area and forest. Then, on the basis of each type of partition, the cropland is divided into different types according to the visual characteristics presented by the cropland, and different deep learning models are designed for hierarchical extraction of different types of cropland. The experimental results show that this method has a good suppression effect on the background noise of complex terrain in mountainous areas, and the extracted cropland plot information is more consistent with the actual distribution pattern of the actual cropland compared with the traditional method, which effectively reduces the rate of missing extraction and wrong extraction. © 2021, Surveying and Mapping Press.
