In technologically underdeveloped areas, water pollution threatens the living environment of local residents, so remote sensing monitoring of the features around reservoirs is necessary. Fully convolutional networks (FCNs) offer great potential for extracting high-resolution features due to their unlimited input image size and higher accuracy compared to convolutional neural networks. Therefore, a proposal to classify WorldView-2 images is implemented with a sixty-eight thousand iterations of fine-tuning and fully trained combined training method based on a fully convolutional network (SEFCN). The chosen images depict the urban area of Yingde, which is located to the northeast of the Feilaixia Reservoir, Qingyuan, Guangdong Province, China. The SEFCN combines an FCN-32s and FCN-16s to better integrate the deep features and shallow features and effectively improve the classification accuracy. Additionally, the loss value fully converges with enough iterations, and the overfitting caused by the superposition of two full trainings is avoided. The SEFCN model achieves the highest accuracy among all compared classification models and obtains the best classified results on the WorldView-2 images, as demonstrated by attaining the highest F1 scores in each category. After the classified images are optimized using a conditional random field, the current status of the study area is analyzed, and several suggestions for land use in the urban area of Yingde are made. The experiments still have deficiencies in the application of high-resolution remote sensing image classification with different sensors, and the classification results can be optimized and improved in other aspects.
