Road Extraction by Deep Residual U-Net

TLDR
A semantic segmentation neural network, which combines the strengths of residual learning and U-Net, is proposed for road area extraction, which outperforms all the comparing methods and demonstrates its superiority over recently developed state of the arts methods.
Abstract
Road extraction from aerial images has been a hot research topic in the field of remote sensing image analysis. In this letter, a semantic segmentation neural network, which combines the strengths of residual learning and U-Net, is proposed for road area extraction. The network is built with residual units and has similar architecture to that of U-Net. The benefits of this model are twofold: first, residual units ease training of deep networks. Second, the rich skip connections within the network could facilitate information propagation, allowing us to design networks with fewer parameters, however, better performance. We test our network on a public road data set and compare it with U-Net and other two state-of-the-art deep-learning-based road extraction methods. The proposed approach outperforms all the comparing methods, which demonstrates its superiority over recently developed state of the arts.
