Integrating multilayer features of convolutional neural networks for remote sensing scene classification [127]2017Fisher kernel codingWHU_RS dataset, UCM datasetTo reduce computational time and to improve classification accuracy.

A deep-local-global feature fusion framework for high spatial resolution imagery scene classification [126]2018Deep-local-global feature fusion21-class UC Merced dataset, 12-class Google dataset of SIRI-WHUSame process could be implemented on non-optical images.

Remote sensing scene classification using multilayer stacked covariance pooling [129]2018Multilayer stacked covariance pooling (MSCP)UC Merced land use dataset, AID30, NWPU-RESISC45 datasetThere should be an end to end CNN model which is able to classify with better accuracy using lesser features maps at each layer.

Remote sensing image scene classification using rearranged local features [128]2019Global and rearranged local featuresUC Merced, WHU-RS19, Sydney, AIDTo explore more techniques for feature fusion.

A feature aggregation convolutional neural network for remote sensing scene classification [130]2021Feature aggregation convolutional neural network (FACNN)AID, UC Merced, WHU-RS19There should be a technique that can get semantic information of images without cropping or resizing of images.
