Due to immense advantages of the land scene classification task, several methods have been proposed during recent years to automatically classify land scenes in remote sensing images. Most of the work focuses on designing and developing deep networks to identify land scenes from high-resolution satellite images. However, these methods face challenges in identifying different land scenes. Complex texture, cluttered background, extremely small size of objects and large variations in object scale are the common challenges that restrict the models to achieve high performance. To tackle these challenges, we propose a multi-branch deep learning framework that efficiently combines global contextual features with multi-scale features to identify complex land scenes. Generally, the framework consists of two branches. The first branch extracts global contextual information from different regions of the input image, and the second branch exploits a fully convolutional network (FCN) to extract multi-scale local features. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated on three benchmark datasets, UC-Merced, SIRI-WHU, and EuroSAT. From the experiments, we demonstrate that the framework achieves superior performance compared to other similar models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15133408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,6]],"date-time":"2023-07-06T00:41:27Z","timestamp":1688604087000},"page":"3408","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Multi-Branch Deep Learning Framework for Land Scene Classification in Satellite Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7406-8441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sultan Daud","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, National University of Technology, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2276-8307","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saleh","family":"Basalamah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Umm Al-Qura University, Mecca 24382, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2104","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2019.2953119","article-title":"Object detection in high resolution remote sensing imagery based on convolutional neural networks with suitable object scale features","volume":"58","author":"Dong","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
