| Abstract | Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a pivotal collaborative machine learning framework, enabling privacy-preserving analytics for smart city applications using distributed data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, the inherent data heterogeneity that arises from diverse geographical and environmental factors poses significant challenges to the effectiveness of FL-based models. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel Prototype-Based FL framework for cross-domain object extraction in heterogeneous remote sensing images. The proposed framework employs multiple vectors to represent class prototypes for capturing the intricate intra-class variations and mitigating the adverse effects of non-identically distributed (non-IID) data across clients. Furthermore, we adopt a distance-based classification method to reduce classification errors. Additionally, we propose a Prototype-Anchored Metric Learning approach to minimize intra-class variance and enhance inter-class separability, which can facilitate the alignment of feature representations across heterogeneous datasets. The proposed method improves the coherence and stability of feature spaces in federated settings and enhances the global model’s generalization capabilities for complex urban monitoring tasks. Extensive experiments on three distinct remote sensing datasets(including infrastructure and disaster) demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art FL-based approaches in urban monitoring accuracy and robustness. © 2014 IEEE. |
