Improved lightweight DeepLabV3+ for bare rock extraction from high-resolution UAV imagery by Pengde Lai, Chao Lv, Lv Zhou, Shengxiong Yang, Jiao Xu, Qiulin Dong, Meilin He

“…Results show the following: (1) When MobileNetV2 is used as the backbone of DeepLabV3+, the Accuracy, F1 score, and MIoU reach 97.39 %, 78.91 %, and 82.11 %, respectively, outperforming VGG16, Xception, SqueezeNet, and traditional segmentation models. (2) Applying the lightweight DeepLabV3+ model to bare rock identification in orthophoto imagery of the study area results in a bare rock rate error of approximately 5 %, demonstrating the practical applicability of the model. (3) After the introduction of the attention mechanism, the model's Recall, F1 score, and MIoU increased by 14.00 %, 8.37 %, and 5.62 %, respectively, remarkably enhancing identification completeness and boundary accuracy. …”
