Abstract

The automatic identification of construction projects, which can be considered as complex scenes, is a technical challenge for the supervision of soil and water conservation in urban areas. Construction projects in high-resolution remote sensing images have no unified semantic definition, thereby exhibiting significant differences in image features. This paper proposes an identification method for construction projects based on the detection of detailed ground objects, which construction projects comprise, including movable slab houses, buildings under construction, dust screens, and bare soil (rock). To create the training data set, we select highly informative detailed ground objects from high-resolution remote sensing images. Then, the Faster RCNN (region-based convolutional neural network) algorithm is used to detect construction projects and the highly informative detailed ground objects separately. The merging of detection boxes and the correction of detailed ground object combinations are used to jointly improve the confidence of construction project detection results. The empirical experiments show that the accuracy evaluation indicators of this method on a data set of Wuhan construction projects outperform other comparative methods, and its AP value and F1 score reached 0.773 and 0.417, respectively. The proposed method can achieve satisfactory identification results for construction projects with complex scenes, and can be applied to the comprehensive supervision of soil and water conservation in construction projects.
