Researchers have developed RBMatch, a novel framework designed to improve semi-supervised learning for building footprint extraction from remote sensing imagery. The method addresses the significant challenge of class imbalance, where the background often dominates the foreground, leading to biased model training. RBMatch employs a dual-level rebalancing strategy that simultaneously regulates pseudo-label generation and unsupervised loss optimization, preventing the model from favoring the majority background class. Experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that RBMatch consistently outperforms existing methods, particularly in scenarios with very limited labeled data, and even surpasses fully supervised approaches in some cases.
