The rich detail information provides better representation of the internal components of each object category and better reflects the relationships between adjacent objects. In this context, recognition methods such as geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) have improved significantly. However, these methods focus mainly on bottom-up classifications from visual features to semantic categories, but ignore top-down feedback which can optimize recognition results. In recent years, deep learning has been applied in the field of remote sensing measurements because of its powerful feature extraction ability. A special convolutional neural network (CNN) based region proposal generation and object detection integrated framework has greatly improved the performance of object detection for HSRRSI, which provides a new method for water body recognition based on remote sensing data. This study uses the excellent \u201cself-learning ability\u201d of deep learning to construct a modified structure of the Mask R-CNN method which integrates bottom-up and top-down processes for water recognition. Compared with traditional methods, our method is completely data-driven without prior knowledge, and it can be regarded as a novel technical procedure for water body recognition in practical engineering application. Experimental results indicate that the method produces accurate recognition results for multi-source and multi-temporal water bodies, and can effectively avoid confusion with shadows and other ground features.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20020397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,10]],"date-time":"2020-01-10T10:20:29Z","timestamp":1578651629000},"page":"397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Intelligent Object Recognition of Urban Water Bodies Based on Deep Learning for Multi-Source and Multi-Temporal High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Shiran","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0130-9520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianhua","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guoqiang","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyi","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"277","article-title":"River Linear Water Adaptive Auto-extraction on Remote Sensing Image Aided by DEM","volume":"42","author":"Zhu","year":"2013","journal-title":"Acta Geod.
