Abstract	Deep-learning-based methods are crucial for building extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images, playing a key role in applications like natural disaster response, land resource management, and smart city development. However, extracting precise building from complex urban and rural environments remains challenging due to spectral variability and intricate background interference, particularly in densely packed and small buildings. To address these issues, we propose an enhanced U2-Net architecture, MFA-Net, which incorporates two key innovations: a Multidimensional Feature Adjustment (MFA) module that refines feature representations through Cascaded Channel, Spatial, and Multiscale Weighting Mechanisms and a Dynamic Fusion Loss function that enhances edge geometric fidelity. Evaluation on three datasets (Urban, Rural, and WHU) reveals that MFA-Net outperforms existing methods, with average improvements of 6% in F1-score and 7.3% in IoU and an average increase of 9.9% in training time. These advancements significantly improve edge delineation and the segmentation of dense building clusters, making MFA-Net especially beneficial for urban planning and land resource management. © 2025 by the authors.
