As an important carrier of human productive activities, the extraction of buildings is not only essential for urban dynamic monitoring but also necessary for suburban construction inspection. Nowadays, accurate building extraction from remote sensing images remains a challenge due to the complex background and diverse appearances of buildings. The convolutional neural network (CNN) based building extraction methods, although increased the accuracy significantly, are criticized for their inability for modelling global dependencies. Thus, this paper applies the Vision Transformer for building e…
