	                            There are only a few low-accuracy methods available for the feature extraction of sparse woods from remote sensing images. Moreover, there is a lack of datasets for intelligent identification. This study proposed a method for intelligent information identification of sparse woods from remote sensing images. First, a dataset was created using QGIS and Python separately to provide data support for model training. Then, feature maps were generated through feature extraction, and then regions of interest (ROIs) were extracted from the feature maps. Subsequently, these ROIs were filtered through pooling operations (ROI align) to reduce the memory consumption caused by too many ROIs in the images. Experiments show that the method proposed in this study can create datasets quickly and facilitate the identification of sparse woods from remote sensing images. Moreover, the Mask R-CNN-based intelligent identification has a target detection mean average precision (MAP) of up to 0.92.
