Scribble-based Weakly Supervised Deep Learning for Road Surface Extraction from Remote Sensing Images

Road surface extraction from remote sensing images using deep learning methods has achieved good performance, while most of the existing methods are based on fully supervised learning, which requires a large amount of training data with laborious per-pixel annotation. In this paper, we propose a scribble-based weakly supervised road surface extraction method named ScRoadExtractor, which learns from easily accessible scribbles such as centerlines instead of densely annotated road surface ground-truths. To propagate semantic information from sparse scribbles to unlabeled pixels, we introduce a road label propagation algorithm which considers both the buffer-based properties of road networks and the color and spatial information of super-pixels. The proposal masks generated from the road label propagation algorithm are utilized to train a dual-branch encoder-decoder network we designed, which consists of a semantic segmentation branch and an auxiliary boundary detection branch. We perform experiments on three diverse road datasets that are comprised of highresolution remote sensing satellite and aerial images across the world. The results demonstrate that ScRoadExtractor exceed the classic scribble-supervised segmentation method by 20% for the intersection over union (IoU) indicator and outperform the state-of-the-art scribble-based weakly supervised methods at least 4%.
