Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification: Benchmark and State of the Art

Understand

Remote sensing image scene classification plays an important role in a wide range of applications and hence has been receiving remarkable attention.

• During the past years, significant efforts have been made to develop various datasets or present a variety of approaches for scene classification from remote sensing images.
• However, a systematic review of the literature concerning datasets and methods for scene classification is still lacking.
• In addition, almost all existing datasets have a number of limitations, including the small scale of scene classes and the image numbers, the lack of image variations and diversity, and the saturation of accuracy.
