Abstract
Classification and analysis of high-resolution satellite images using conventional techniques have been limited. This is due to the complex characteristics of the imagery. These images are characterized by features such as spectral signatures, complex texture and shape, spatial relationships and temporal changes. In this research, we present the performance evaluation and analysis of deep learning approaches based on Convolutional Neural Networks and vision transformer towards achieving efficient classification of remote sensing satellite images. The CNN-based models explored include ResNet, DenseNet, EfficientNet, VGG and InceptionV3. The models were evaluated on three publicly available EuroSAT, UCMerced-LandUse and NWPU-RESISC45 datasets containing categories of images. The models achieve promising results in accuracy, recall, precision and F1-score. This performance demonstrates the feasibility of Deep Learning approaches in learning the complex and in-homogeneous features of the high-resolution remote sensing images.
