Popis: Abstract Due to the inadequate utilization of data correlation and complementarity in the feature extraction process of multimodal remote sensing images, the paper proposes a deep learning semantic segmentation algorithm based on the Dual Channel Attention Mechanism (DCAM). This algorithm uses U‐Net as the backbone, combining the RGB remote sensing image as one input channel with the Convolutional Block Attention Module to extract colour space features. Simultaneously, it utilizes near‐infrared (NIR) as another input channel with the Self‐Attention Module (SAM) to extract shape space features. Finally, by concatenating the multi‐scale attention features of the RGB remote sensing image channel and the NIR remote sensing image channel, it achieves the correlation and complementarity of contextual features between the two modal remote sensing images. Experimental results on the GID‐15 dataset demonstrate that the DCAM algorithm significantly improves the segmentation accuracy, edge segmentation quality, and object segmentation integrity for various types of targets compared to current mainstream segmentation methods.
