Considering the challenges associated with accurately identifying building shape features and distinguishing between building and non-building features during the extraction of buildings from remote sensing images using deep learning, we propose a novel method for building extraction based on U-Net, incorporating a recurrent residual deformable convolution unit (RDCU) module and augmented multi-head self-attention (AMSA). By replacing conventional convolution modules with an RDCU, which adopts a deformable convolutional neural network within a residual network structure, the proposed method enhances the module&rsquo:s capacity to learn intricate details such as building shapes. Furthermore, AMSA is introduced into the skip connection function to enhance feature expression and positions through content&ndash:position enhancement operations and content&ndash:content enhancement operations. Moreover, AMSA integrates an additional fusion channel attention mechanism to aid in identifying cross-channel feature expression Intersection over Union (IoU) score differences. For the Massachusetts dataset, the proposed method achieves an Intersection over Union (IoU) score of 89.99%, PA (Pixel Accuracy) score of 93.62%, and Recall score of 89.22%. For the WHU Satellite dataset I, the proposed method achieves an IoU score of 86.47%, PA score of 92.45%, and Recall score of 91.62%, For the INRIA dataset, the proposed method achieves an IoU score of 80.47%, PA score of 90.15%, and Recall score of 85.42%.
