description The classification and recognition of features play a vital role in production and daily life; however, the current semantic segmentation of remote sensing images is hampered by background interference and other factors, leading to issues such as fuzzy boundary segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose a novel module for encoding and reconstructing multi-dimensional feature layers. Our approach first utilizes a bilinear interpolation method to downsample the multi-dimensional feature layer in the coding stage of the U-shaped framework. Subsequently, we incorporate a fractal curve module into the encoder, which aggregates points on feature maps from different layers, effectively grouping points from diverse regions. Finally, we introduce an aggregation layer that combines the upsampling method from the UNet series, employing the multi-scale censoring of multi-dimensional feature map outputs from various layers to efficiently capture both spatial and feature information. The experimental results across diverse scenarios demonstrate that our model achieves excellent performance in aggregating point information from feature maps, significantly enhancing semantic segmentation tasks.
