---

This is an official implementation LoveCS in our RSE 2022 paper. The referenced methods in this paper can be found in our LoveDA repo.

Highlights:

1. A Cross-Sensor Land-cOVEr framework (LoveCS) is proposed.
2. LoveCS advances cross-sensor domain adaptation.
3. LoveCS learns divergence between sensors from structure and optimization.
4. The effectiveness of LoveCS was evaluated in three cities of China.
5. High-resolution city-scale mapping can be achieved within 9 hours on one GPU.

Requirements:

• pytorch >= 1.7.0
• python >=3.6

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/Z-Zheng/ever

1. Flexible Cross-sensor Normalization

Cross-sensor normalization can help you encode the source and target domain statistics separately.

1.You can replace the batch normalizations with cross-sensor normalizations as follows:

from module.csn import replace_bn_with_csn
from module.semantic_fpn import SemanticFPN
# Semantic-FPN (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.02446.pdf) as an example 
model = SemanticFPN(dict())
# Replace the BNs with CSNs
model = replace_bn_with_csn(model)

2.Model Forward

from module.csn import change_csn
model = change_csn(model, source=True)
source_outputs = model(source_images)
model = change_csn(model, source=False)
target_outputs = model(target_images)

2.Model Backward

from torch.nn import CrossEntropyLoss
loss_cal = CrossEntropyLoss()
src_loss = loss_cal(source_outputs, src_labels)
tgt_loss = loss_cal(target_outputs, pse_labels)
total_loss = tgt_loss + src_loss
total_loss.backward()

2. LoveCS framework

LoveCS_train.py is a training example and LoveCS_eval.py is an evaluation example. You can configure your domain adaptation dataset (i.e. LoveDA) and use the following scripts for training and evaluation.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
config_path='st.lovecs.2CZ.lovecs'
python LoveCS_train.py --config_path=${config_path}


config_path='st.lovecs.2CZ.lovecs'
ckpt_path='./log/sfpn.pth'
python LoveCS_eval.py --config_path=${config_path} --ckpt_path=${ckpt_path}
