The identification of roads from satellite imagery plays an important role in urban design, geographic referencing, vehicle navigation, geospatial data integration, and intelligent transportation systems. The use of deep learning methods has demonstrated significant advantages in the extraction of roads from remote sensing data. However, many previous deep learning-based road extraction studies overlook the connectivity and completeness of roads. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new high-resolution satellite road extraction network called FERDNet. In this paper, to effectively distinguish between road features and background features, we design a Multi-angle Feature Enhancement module based on the characteristics of remote sensing road data. Additionally, to enhance the extraction capability for narrow roads, we develop a High–Low-Level Feature Enhancement module within the directional feature extraction branch. Furthermore, experimental results on three public datasets validate the effectiveness of FERDNet in the task of road extraction from satellite imagery.
