Abstract

Object detection is one of the most effective ways to analyze the remote sensing (RS) images. In this paper, we focus on the prevalent object detection framework based on deep learning technology for RS images which contains three different stages, namely the region proposals generation, feature extraction, and classification. The review provides a clear picture of the challenges and possible development trends in this field. Typical methods under this framework are extensively reviewed and analyzed. Comparisons among traditional methods with deep learning methods are presented, in which supervised and unsupervised methods for RS scene target detection are deeply discussed.
