Vision Transformers and Convolutional Neural Networks for Land Use Scene Classification
Researchers have compared the effectiveness of Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for classifying land use scenes from remote sensing imagery. The study utilized benchmark datasets like UC Merced Land Use and EuroSAT, evaluating metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. Findings indicate that CNNs are more robust with limited data and strong local features, while ViTs excel at understanding global spatial relationships when ample training data is available, though they require more computational resources.
