Design and Implementation of Fully Convolutional Network Algorithm in Landscape Image Processing

Abstract

With the gradual improvement of the quality of life, taste, and ecological and environmental awareness of urban residents in China, the environmental landscape of residential areas has gradually become a hot spot. At present, the level of the residential environmental landscape has become a necessary means for real estate developers to publicize products and improve economic benefits. Although many residential areas have invested a high cost in constructing environmental landscapes, there are always some deficiencies and defects in the design and implementation of environmental landscapes in residential areas due to various reasons. Therefore, to ameliorate the low efficiency and high cost of manual processing of landscape images, a Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) model based on the traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is designed for semantic segmentation of landscape images to deal with the excessive amount of landscape elements in landscape image processing. The deconvolution method is utilized to realize pixel-level semantic segmentation. Besides, the image preprocessing method enhances the data to prevent overfitting from commonly occurring in FCN. Moreover, the model two-stage training method ameliorates long training time and complex convergence in deep learning. Finally, three upsampling network structures, i.e., FCN-32s, FCN-16s, and FCN-8s, are selected for a comparative experiment to determine the most suitable network. The experimental results demonstrate that the FCN-8s upsampling network structure is the most prominent; it attains a pixel accuracy of more than 90%, an average accuracy of 88%, and an average Image Understanding of 75%. The three values are the highest among the three upsampling structures, indicating that the FCN-8s can realize accurate landscape image processing. Besides, the recognition accuracy of FCN for landscape elements reaches 90%, 25% higher than that of CNN. This method is effective and accurate in classifying landscape elements, improves the classification accuracy intelligently, and significantly reduces the cost of landscape element classification, which is feasible.
