RS-Mamba: Advancing Remote Sensing Image Analysis

RS-Mamba for Large Remote Sensing Image Dense Prediction is a project designed to enhance the analysis of remote sensing images, specifically focusing on dense prediction tasks. Developed by leveraging the environment of the VMamba project, RS-Mamba introduces pioneering techniques and showcases promising results in tasks like semantic segmentation and change detection.

Key Contributions

1. Introduction of the State Space Model (SSM): The project is trailblazing in incorporating the State Space Model into remote sensing tasks. The Recurrent State Space Model (RSM) developed maintains an effective receptive field with linear complexity, allowing for efficient data processing.

2. Multi-directional Spatial Feature Analysis: RS-Mamba employs a novel approach to explore spatial features in remote sensing images by scanning selectively over multiple directions, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the data.

3. State-of-the-art Performance: Despite utilizing fundamental model architectures and training methods, RS-Mamba achieves state-of-the-art performance in both semantic segmentation and change detection.

Recent Updates

• March 29, 2024: The project was officially released, including the code for the models and the corresponding training framework.

Installation and Setup

To get started with RS-Mamba, users should first install the core "rs_mamba" environment by following instructions from the VMamba guide. Additional dependencies can be installed through a simple command if required by the model code.

Dataset Preparation

For RS-Mamba to function effectively, appropriate datasets need to be organized:

• Semantic Segmentation: The Massachusetts Roads and WHU datasets are used, requiring a specific folder structure detailing training, validation, and test images, as well as labels.

• Change Detection: This includes datasets like WHU-CD and LEIVR-CD, organized similarly into training, validation, and test sections with distinct time intervals noted (t1 and t2).

Training and Inference

RS-Mamba provides detailed scripts for both training and inference:

• Semantic Segmentation: Operate from the semantic_segmentation_mamba directory, using train.py for training and inference.py for testing.

• Change Detection: Analogous scripts are found in the change_detection_mamba directory for similar processes.
