Abstract: Wetlands have important carbon sink functions, and play a key role in purifying water quality and regulating climate. There exist abundant wetland resources in regions around the South China Sea, and it is of great significance to monitor wetlands in this area to promote the cross-border joint protection of coastal wetlands in China and achieve the goal of carbon dioxide peaking and carbon neutrality. This paper proposes a wetland classification method based on BiGCN using object-oriented hierarchical classification. Random forest is used to distinguish wetlands from non-wetlands firstly, and then wetlands are sub-classified by the BiGCN. In the BiGCN, the methods of constructing bilinear model, optimizing graph structure and using better activation function are used to further optimize network performance. The results show that the overall classification accuracy of the proposed model is above 92% on the three Sentinel-2 data sets around the South China Sea, which is more than 4% higher than that of the existing graph convolution network, and the time consumption is greatly reduced.
