Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant popularity in recent years due to their ability to capture high-resolution aerial imagery for various applications, including traffic monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management. Accurate road and vehicle segmentation from UAV imagery plays a crucial role in these applications. In this paper, we propose a novel approach combining dual attention mechanisms and efficient multi-layer feature aggregation to enhance the performance of road and vehicle segmentation from UAV imagery. Our approach integrates a spatial attention mechanism and a channel-wise attention mechanism to enable the model to selectively focus on relevant features for segmentation tasks. In conjunction with these attention mechanisms, we introduce an efficient multi-layer feature aggregation method that synthesizes and integrates multi-scale features at different levels of the network, resulting in a more robust and informative feature representation. Our proposed method is evaluated on the UAVid semantic segmentation dataset, showcasing its exceptional performance in comparison to renowned approaches such as U-Net, DeepLabv3+, and SegNet. The experimental results affirm that our approach surpasses these state-of-the-art methods in terms of segmentation accuracy.
