The core issue of this technique is the limited capacity of CNNs to depict visual objects. Existing approaches tend to utilize approximate inference in a discrete domain or additional aides and do not have a global optimum guarantee. We propose the use of the multi-label manifold ranking (MR) method in solving the linear objective energy function in a continuous domain to delineate visual objects and solve these problems. We present a novel embedded single stream optimization method based on the MR model to avoid approximations without sacrificing expressive power. In addition, we propose a novel network, which we refer to as dual multi-scale manifold ranking (DMSMR) network, that combines the dilated, multi-scale strategies with the single stream MR optimization method in the deep learning architecture to further improve the performance. Experiments on high resolution images, including close-range and remote sensing datasets, demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve competitive accuracy without additional aides in an end-to-end manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9050500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,23]],"date-time":"2017-05-23T01:47:33Z","timestamp":1495504053000},"page":"500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Learning Dual Multi-Scale Manifold Ranking for Semantic Segmentation of High-Resolution Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangyun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center of Geospatial Technology, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Like","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]},{"given":"Shiyan","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center of Geospatial Technology, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"School of Resource and Environmental Sciences, 129 Luoyu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ladicky, L., Torr, P., and Zisserman, A.
