Abstract While achieving remarkable success in remote sensing (RS) scene classification for the past few years, CNN-based methods suffer from the demand for large amounts of training data. The bottleneck in prediction accuracy has shifted from data processing limits toward a lack of ground truth samples, usually collected manually by experienced experts. In this work, we provide a meta-learning framework for few-shot classification of RS scene. Under the umbrella of meta-learning, we show it is possible to learn much information about a new category from only 1 or 5 samples. The proposed method is based on Prototypical Networks with a pre-trained stage and a learnable similarity metric. The experimental results show that our method outperforms three state-of-the-art few-shot algorithms and one typical CNN-based method, D-CNN, on two challenging datasets: NWPU-RESISC45 and RSD46-WHU.
