Abstract

To effectively solve the accurate identification of gray ice, melt ponds water, floe, brash ice, and thin ice in the melting state of the Arctic Sea ice during summer, we propose adding a batch normalization layer and adaptive moment estimation optimizer of a U-NET (BAU-NET) method for Arctic Sea ice semantic segmentation in summer from remote sensing satellite optical images. The U-NET network structure is optimized to 18 convolution layers, and a batch normalization layer and a nonlinear activation function rectified linear unit are added behind each convolution layer. Then the hyper-parameters of the network structure are adjusted. The cross-entropy loss function based on SOFTMAX and L2 regularization are used in training the model, and the adaptive moment estimation optimizer is used for iterative training until the error convergence. The experimental results show that the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score of sea ice extraction results reaches more than 97.26%. Compared with the DeepLabv3 and U-Net methods, the sea ice prediction time efficiency is improved by 90.99s and 1.57s, respectively, and the accuracy is improved by 6.59% and 8.05%, respectively, which indicate that the sea ice prediction time efficiency and accuracy of the BAU-NET method are significantly improved.
