Aimed at the problem that the semantic segmentation model is prone to producing blurred boundaries, slicing traces and isolated small patches for cloud and snow identification in high-resolution remote sensing images, the feasibility of combining DeepLab v3+ and conditional random field (CRF) models for cloud and snow identification based on GF-1 WFV images is studied. For GF-1 WFV images, the model training and testing experiments under the conditions of different sample numbers, sample sizes and loss functions are compared. The results show that, firstly, when the number of samples is 10,000, the sample size is 256 \u00d7 256, and the loss function is the Focal function, the model accuracy is the optimal and the Mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) and the Mean Pixel Accuracy (MPA) reach 0.816 and 0.918, respectively. Secondly, after post-processing with the CRF model, the MIoU and the MPA are improved to 0.836 and 0.941, respectively, compared with those without post-processing. Moreover, the misclassifications such as blurred boundaries, slicing traces and isolated small patches are significantly reduced, which indicates that the combination of the DeepLab v3+ and CRF models has high accuracy and strong feasibility for cloud and snow identification in high-resolution remote sensing images. The conclusions can provide a reference for high-resolution snow mapping and hydrology applications using deep learning models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14194880","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T03:07:28Z","timestamp":1665371248000},"page":"4880","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Cloud and Snow Identification Based on DeepLab V3+ and CRF Combined Model for GF-1 WFV Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zuo","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resources Environment and GIS, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Boyang","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resources Environment and GIS, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengyang","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resources Environment and GIS, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Hu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resources Environment and GIS, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Donghua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Tourism, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Resources Environment and GIS, Wuhu 241002, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"287","article-title":"The Cryosphere and Global Change","volume":"4","author":"Shi","year":"1991","journal-title":"Bull.
