| contents | Satellite missions and Earth Observation (EO) systems represent fundamental assets for environmental monitoring and the timely identification of catastrophic events, long-term monitoring of both natural resources and human-made assets, such as vegetation, water bodies, forests as well as buildings. Different EO missions enables the collection of information on several spectral bandwidths, such as MODIS, Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. Thus, given the recent advances of machine learning, computer vision and the availability of labeled data, researchers demonstrated the feasibility and the precision of land-use monitoring systems and remote sensing image classification through the use of deep neural networks. Such systems may help domain experts and governments in constant environmental monitoring, enabling timely intervention in case of catastrophic events (e.g., forest wildfire in a remote area). Despite the recent advances in the field of computer vision, many works limit their analysis on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and, more recently, to vision transformers (ViTs). Given the recent successes of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) on non-graph data, such as time-series and images, we investigate the performances of a recent Vision GNN architecture (ViG) applied to the task of land cover classification. The experimental results show that ViG achieves state-of-the-art performances in multiclass and multilabel classification contexts, surpassing both ViT and ResNet on large-scale benchmarks. |
