A Fusion Method Incorporating Dual-Attention Mechanism and Transfer Learning Into UNet++ for Remote Sensing Image Coastline Extraction by Yanru Song, Bai Xue, Yueyue Meng, Xiang Qin, Yixiao Li, Qi Liu

“…This paper applies a deep convolutional neural network to the problem of sea-land segmentation in high-spatial resolution remote sensing images and innovates upon the classic encoder-decoder architecture. Firstly, to enhance the network’s ability to distinguish coastlines, a dual attention mechanism is introduced into the UNet++ network to improve the learning capacity of coastline features while suppressing the learning of non-coastline features. …”
