Memory-Constrained Semantic Segmentation for Ultra-High Resolution UAV Imagery

Amidst the swift advancements in photography and sensor technologies, high-definition cameras have become commonplace in the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for diverse operational purposes. Within the domain of UAV imagery analysis, the segmentation of ultra-high resolution images emerges as a substantial and intricate challenge, especially when grappling with the constraints imposed by GPU memory-restricted computational devices. This paper delves into the intricate problem of achieving efficient and effective segmentation of ultra-high resolution UAV imagery, while operating under stringent GPU memory limitation. The strategy of existing approaches is to downscale the images to achieve computationally efficient segmentation. However, this strategy tends to overlook smaller, thinner, and curvilinear regions. To address this problem, we propose a GPU memory-efficient and effective framework for local inference without accessing the context beyond local patches. In particular, we introduce a novel spatial-guided high-resolution query module, which predicts pixel-wise segmentation results with high quality only by querying nearest latent embeddings with the guidance of high-resolution information. Additionally, we present an efficient memory-based interaction scheme to correct potential semantic bias of the underlying high-resolution information by associating cross-image contextual semantics. For evaluation of our approach, we perform comprehensive experiments over public benchmarks and achieve superior performance under both conditions of small and large GPU memory usage limitations. We will release the model and codes in the future.
