Ground Fissure Identification in Mining Areas from UAV Images Based on DN-CAMSCBNet

Abstract

The development and use of mine resources have had many adverse impacts on the environment of mining areas. Among them, ground fissures are the most serious. They not only threaten the ecological protection of mining areas but also hinder the sustainable exploitation of energy. To mitigate the damage to the ecological environment caused by mining areas and ensure sustainable long-term resource exploitation, it is of particular importance to identify ground fissures in mining areas efficiently. Therefore, this paper proposes a ground fissure identification model for UAV images in mining areas named DN-CAMSCBNet. This method integrates the channel attention mechanism and the dropout mechanism on the basis of the traditional U-Net. Meanwhile, it introduces the multiscale convolution block and Nesterov-accelerated adaptive moment estimation. These are used to enhance its ability to capture complex image features, expand the receptive field of the original model, reduce the number of parameters, and reduce computational complexity. To verify the segmentation performance of the model, it is compared with U-Net, D-CAMNet, and D-MSCBNet models. The experimental results show that the accuracy and precision of the DN-CAMSCBNet model can reach 99.47 % and 92.25 %, respectively, and the F1 score is 0.7699. All these are superior to comparison models and can provide strong support for the identification of ground fissures in mining areas.
