We developed LULC-SegNet, a semantic segmentation network for land use and land cover (LULC), which integrates features from the denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM). This network enhances the clarity of the edge segmentation, detail resolution, and the visualization and accuracy of the contours by delving into the spatial details of the remote sensing images. The LULC-SegNet incorporates DDPM decoder features into the LULC segmentation task, utilizing machine learning clustering algorithms and spatial attention to extract continuous DDPM semantic features. The network addresses the potential loss of spatial details during feature extraction in convolutional neural network (CNN), and the integration of the DDPM features with the CNN feature extraction network improves the accuracy of the segmentation boundaries of the geographical features. Ablation and comparison experiments conducted on the Circum-Tarim Basin Region LULC Dataset demonstrate that the LULC-SegNet improved the LULC semantic segmentation. The LULC-SegNet excels in multiple key performance indicators compared to existing advanced semantic segmentation methods. Specifically, the network achieved remarkable scores of 80.25% in the mean intersection over union (MIOU) and 93.92% in the F1 score, surpassing current technologies. The LULC-SegNet demonstrated an IOU score of 73.67%, particularly in segmenting the small-sample river class. Our method adapts to the complex geophysical characteristics of remote sensing datasets, enhancing the performance of automatic semantic segmentation tasks for land use and land cover changes and making critical advancements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16234573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]],"date-time":"2024-12-06T03:44:47Z","timestamp":1733456687000},"page":"4573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["LULC-SegNet: Enhancing Land Use and Land Cover Semantic Segmentation with Denoising Diffusion Feature Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3292-1738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zongwen","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China"},{"name":"School of Geographical Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8987-7930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junfu","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Yujie","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2559-0241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuke","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Land Resources and Surveying Engineering, Shandong Agriculture and Engineering University, Zibo 255300, China"},{"name":"School of Geosciences and Info-Physics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1093\/jpe\/rtm005","article-title":"Remote Sensing Imagery in Vegetation Mapping: A Review","volume":"1","author":"Xie","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
