AbstractBackground: Road network data are crucial in various applications, such as emergency response, urban planning, and transportation management. The recent application of deep neural networks has significantly boosted the efficiency and accuracy of road network extraction based on remote sensing data. However, most existing methods for road extraction were designed at local or regional scales. Automatic extraction of large-scale road datasets from satellite images remains challenging due to the complex background around the roads, especially the complicated land cover types. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a land cover background-adaptive framework for large-scale road extraction. Method: A large number of sample image blocks (6820) are selected from six different countries of a wide region as the dataset. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is automatically converted to the ground truth of networks, and Esri 2020 Land Cover Dataset is taken as the background land cover information. A fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is first applied to cluster the sample images according to the proportion of certain land use types that obviously negatively affect road extraction performance. Then, the specific model is trained on the images clustered as abundant with that certain land use type, while a general model is trained based on the rest of the images. Finally, the road extraction results obtained by those general and specific modes are combined. Results: The dataset selection and algorithm implementation were conducted on the cloud-based geoinformation platform Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Google Colaboratory. Experimental results showed that the proposed framework achieved stronger adaptivity on large-scale road extraction in both visual and statistical analysis. The C-means clustering algorithm applied in this study outperformed other hard clustering algorithms. Significance: The promising potential of the proposed background-adaptive network was demonstrated in the automatic extraction of large-scale road networks from satellite images as well as other object detection tasks. This search demonstrated a new paradigm for the study of large-scale remote sensing applications based on deep neural networks.
