Randomized trial demonstrates improved building detection accuracy in rural areas, suggesting enhanced governance capabilities.

This study aims to develop an automated system using deep learning for accurate building detection from drone imagery in rural areas.
Introduced a Multi-scale Hybrid Attention module to capture multi-scale features.
Implemented a Dynamic Feature Pyramid Network for scale-invariant feature representation.
Applied Progressive Contrastive Learning with hard sample mining to improve model performance.
Achieved a mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) of 87.3%, pixel accuracy (PA) of 94.2%, and mean Average Precision (mAP) of 89.6%.
Demonstrated superior performance compared to benchmarks like U-Net and DeepLabV3+.
Exhibited strong cross-dataset generalization with 72.3% MIoU on Chinese rural data.

Zhong et al. (2026) studied this question.
