Abstract

Monocular height estimation is of great importance in generating 3D city models from single remote sensing images, while it is a challenging task due to the ill-posed nature of the problem. To address the issue, we propose to adopt adaptive bins (AdaBins) for the network design, which enhances the representation capability of the network with the classification-regression paradigm and the incorporation of local features and global context via a vision transformer encoder. Besides, to weaken the biases of the trained networks caused by the long-tailed nature of the dataset, a head-tail cut is conducted for different treatments of head and tail pixels. Experiments show that improvements are expected with the proposed network on the proposed GBH dataset.
