Depth-Assisted ResiDualGAN for Cross-Domain Aerial Images Semantic Segmentation
Yang Zhao, Peng Guo, Han Gao, Xiuwan Chen · IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters · 2023
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is an approach to minimizing the domain gap. Generative methods are common approaches to minimizing the domain gap of aerial images, which improves the performance of the downstream tasks, for example, cross-domain semantic segmentation. For aerial images, the digital surface model (DSM) is usually available in both the source domain and the target domain. Depth information in DSM brings external information to generative models. However, little research utilizes it. In this letter, depth-assisted ResiDualGAN (DRDG) is proposed where depth supervised loss (DSL) and depth cycle consistency loss (DCCL) are used to bring depth information into the generative model. Experimental results show that DRDG reaches state-of-the-art accuracy between generative methods in cross-domain semantic segmentation tasks.
