Considering the high-level details in an ultrahigh-spatial-resolution (UHSR) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) dataset, detailed mapping of heterogeneous urban landscapes is extremely challenging because of the spectral similarity between classes. In this study, adaptive hierarchical image segmentation...
