Abstract: High resolution remote sensing image data is veritable big data. It is not only massive, multi-source, and heterogeneous, but also high-dimensional, multi-scale, and non-stationary. In order to overcome the reduction of classification accuracy and redundancy of spatial data when dealing with high resolution remote sensing images using traditional classification methods, this paper improves the traditional Convolution Neural Network (CNN) from the aspects of both the network structure and the training method, and the improved CNN is used in the classification and recognition of high resolution remote sensing images. The experiments show that the classification accuracy of the improved CNN is better than that of the traditional CNN. Furthermore, the classification accuracy of the improved CNN is better than the Deep Belief Network (DBN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and traditional BP.

Key words: high resolution remote sensing image, convolution neural network, identification and classification
