Abstract

The study of high-precision land-use classification is essential for the sustainable development of land resources. This study addresses the problem of classification errors in optical remote-sensing images under high surface humidity, cloud cover, and hazy weather. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are sensitive to soil moisture, and the microwave can penetrate clouds, haze, and smoke. By using both the active and passive remote-sensing data, the Sentinel-1A SAR and Sentinel-2B multispectral (MS) images are combined synergistically. The full-band data combining the SAR + MS + spectral indexes is thus constructed. Based on the high dimensionality and heterogeneity of this data set, a new framework (MAM-HybridNet) based on two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hybrid convolutional neural networks combined with multi-attention modules (MAMs) is proposed for improving the accuracy of land-use classification in cities with high surface humidity. In addition, the same training samples supported by All bands data (SAR + MS + spectral index) are selected and compared with k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), 2D convolutional neural networks, 3D convolutional neural networks, and hybridSN classification models to verify the accuracy of the proposed classification model. The results show that (1) fusion classification based on Sentinel-2B MSI and Sentinel-1A SAR data produce an overall accuracy (OA) of 95.10%, a kappa coefficient (KC) of 0.93, and an average accuracy (AA) of 92.86%, which is better than the classification results using Sentinel-2B MSI and Sentinel-1A SAR images separately. (2) The classification accuracy improves upon adding the spectral index, and the OA, KC, and AA improve by 3.77%, 0.05, and 5.5%, respectively. (3) With the support of full-band data, the algorithm proposed herein produces better results than other classification algorithms, with an OA of 98.87%, a KC of 0.98, and an AA of 98.36%. These results indicate that the synergistic effect of active-passive remote-sensing data improves land-use classification. Additionally, the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed deep-learning classification model for land-use classification.
