Abstract Aiming at weak characterization of polarimetric synthesis aperture radar(PolSAR) image feature classification and low classification accuracy of the traditional fully convolutional network(FCN), a land cover classification algorithm of PolSAR with encoder-decoder network(E-D-Net) and conditional random field(CRF) is proposed. Firstly, Freeman decomposition and Pauli decomposition are employed to model PolSAR images and extract scattering features corresponding to each decomposition. Symmetric network model is built via semantic segmentation network model and multi-scale convolution unit. An E-D-Net network model is designed by embedding the multi-scale asymmetric convolution unit into the middle layer. PolSAR image and scattering features of Freeman decomposition are autonomously learned by E-D-Net to obtain the initial classification result. Finally, the CRF combined with Pauli coherent decompositionfalsecolorimageinformation isutilized todenoiseandsmooth the initialclassification results to obtain the final classification result. PolSAR image experiments on two areas verify the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
