Numerous aquaculture ponds are intensively distributed around inland natural lakes and mixed with cropland, especially in areas with high population density in Asia. Information about the distribution of aquaculture ponds is essential for monitoring the impact of human activities on inland lakes. Accurate and efficient mapping of inland aquaculture ponds using high-spatial-resolution remote-sensing images is a challenging task because aquaculture ponds are mingled with other land cover types. Considering that aquaculture ponds have intertwining regular embankments and that these salient features are prominent at different scales, a Row-wise and Column-wise Self-Attention (RCSA) mechanism that adaptively exploits the identical directional dependency among pixels is proposed. Then a fully convolutional network (FCN) combined with the RCSA mechanism (RCSANet) is proposed for large-scale extraction of aquaculture ponds from high-spatial-resolution remote-sensing imagery. In addition, a fusion strategy is implemented using a water index and the RCSANet prediction to further improve extraction quality. Experiments on high-spatial-resolution images using pansharpened multispectral and 2 m panchromatic images show that the proposed methods gain at least 2–4% overall accuracy over other state-of-the-art methods regardless of regions and achieve an overall accuracy of 85% at Lake Hong region and 83% at Lake Liangzi region in aquaculture pond extraction.
