Semantic Segmentation of Remote Sensing Images Based on RS3mamba and Wavelet Transform

The semantic interpretation of remote sensing imagery through segmentation has become indispensable for a wide range of applications, including resource exploration, environmental assessment, and land-use analysis. Yet, accurate parsing of such images remains challenging because complex object boundaries and large scale differences often weaken the ability of conventional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based methods to preserve local details. In response, this study constructs a segmentation framework that couples wavelet convolution with the Mamba architecture. To strengthen feature learning in the intermediate stages, an Auxiliary Segmentation Module (ASM) is employed to provide additional supervisory guidance, which supports optimization and encourages the representation of subtle semantic details. Wavelet-transform convolution is also introduced into the downsampling path, enabling spatial cues and frequency-related information to be exploited in a more coordinated manner for finer boundary and texture modeling. Experiments on public remote sensing datasets and mining area imagery further confirm the effectiveness of the method. Compared with several existing segmentation approaches, the proposed model delivers better overall performance in mIoU, F1-score, and recognition accuracy, particularly in scenes where multiple land-cover categories are heavily interlaced. Moreover, these gains are obtained with relatively low model complexity, suggesting good potential for practical deployment in land monitoring and ecological management.

Abstract

The semantic interpretation of remote sensing imagery through segmentation has become indispensable for a wide range of applications, including resource exploration, environmental assessment, and land-use analysis. Yet, accurate parsing of such images remains challenging because complex object boundaries and large scale differences often weaken the ability of conventional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based methods to preserve local details. In response, this study constructs a segmentation framework that couples wavelet convolution with the Mamba architecture. To strengthen feature learning in the intermediate stages, an Auxiliary Segmentation Module (ASM) is employed to provide additional supervisory guidance, which supports optimization and encourages the representation of subtle semantic details. Wavelet-transform convolution is also introduced into the downsampling path, enabling spatial cues and frequency-related information to be exploited in a more coordinated manner for finer boundary and texture modeling. Experiments on public remote sensing datasets and mining area imagery further confirm the effectiveness of the method. Compared with several existing segmentation approaches, the proposed model delivers better overall performance in mIoU, F1-score, and recognition accuracy, particularly in scenes where multiple land-cover categories are heavily interlaced. Moreover, these gains are obtained with relatively low model complexity, suggesting good potential for practical deployment in land monitoring and ecological management.
