High-resolution satellite images contain valuable road semantic information, but the occlusion of vegetation and buildings and the sparse distribution and heterogeneous appearance of roads limit the accuracy of road extraction models. In this article, we propose a novel method for extracting roads using an ensemble learning model with a postprocessing stage. The network weights and biases of our proposed deep learning model are transmitted through the random combination of layers of different submodels during forward and backward propagation. In the gradient descent process, a superior loss function is designed to solve the problem of class imbalance caused by road sparseness, and more attention is given to hard classification samples to extract narrow and covered roads. In addition, we solve road disconnection issues in the results obtained with the neural network by extracting and analyzing the geometric structures and feature points of the roads. Experiments on two challenging datasets of remote sensing imagery show that the proposed method performs better than other models and can extract road information from complex scenes.
