At present, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been widely used in building extraction from remote sensing imagery (RSI), but there are still some bottlenecks. On the one hand, there are so many parameters in the previous network with complex structure, which will occupy lots of memories and consume much time during training process. On the other hand, low-level features extracted by shallow layers and abstract features extracted by deep layers of artificial neural network cannot be fully fused, which leads to an inaccurate building extraction from RSI. To alleviate these disadvantages, a dense residual neural network (DR-Net) was proposed in this paper. DR-Net uses a deeplabv3+Net encoder/decoder backbone, in combination with densely connected convolution neural network (DCNN) and residual network (ResNet) structure. Compared with deeplabv3+net (containing about 41 million parameters) and BRRNet (containing about 17 million parameters), DR-Net contains about 9 million parameters; So, the number of parameters reduced a lot. The experimental results for both the WHU Building Dataset and Massachusetts Building Dataset, DR-Net show better performance in building extraction than other two state-of-the-art methods. Experiments on WHU building data set showed that Intersection over Union (IoU) increased by 2.4% and F1 score increased by 1.4%; in terms of Massachusetts Building Dataset, IoU increased by 3.8% and F1 score increased by 2.9%.

<p>Automatically extracting buildings from remote sensing images (RSI) plays important roles in urban planning, population estimation, disaster emergency response, etc. With the development of deep learning technology, convolutional neural networks (CNN) with better performance than traditional methods have been widely used in extracting buildings from remote sensing imagery (RSI). But it still faces some problems. First of all, low-level features extracted by shallow layers and abstract features extracted by deep layers of the artificial neural network could not be fully fused. it makes building extraction is often inaccurate, especially for buildings with complex structures, irregular shapes and small sizes. Secondly, there are so many parameters that need to be trained in a network, which occupies a lot of computing resources and consumes a lot of time in the training process. By analyzing the structure of the CNN, we found that abstract features extracted by deep layers with low geospatial resolution contain more semantic information. These abstract features are conducive to determine the category of pixels while not sensitive to the boundaries of the buildings. We found the stride of the convolution kernel and pooling operation reduced the geospatial resolution of feature maps, so, this paper proposed a simple and effective strategy—reduce the stride of convolution kernel contains in one of the layers and reduced the number of convolutional kernels to alleviate the above two bottlenecks. This strategy was used to deeplabv3+net and the experimental results for both the WHU Building Dataset and Massachusetts Building Dataset. Compared with the original deeplabv3+net the result showed that this strategy has a better performance. In terms of WHU building data set, the Intersection over Union (IoU) increased by 1.4% and F1 score increased by 0.9%; in terms of Massachusetts Building Dataset, IoU increased by 3.31% and F1 score increased by 2.3%.</p>

Inspired by the outstanding achievement of deep learning, supervised deep learning representation methods for high-spatial-resolution remote sensing image scene classification obtained state-of-the-art performance. However, supervised deep learning representation methods need a considerable amount of labeled data to capture class-specific features, limiting the application of deep learning-based methods while there are a few labeled training samples. An unsupervised deep learning representation, high-resolution remote sensing image scene classification method is proposed in this work to address this issue. The proposed method, called contrastive learning, narrows the distance between positive views: color channels belonging to the same images widens the gaps between negative view pairs consisting of color channels from different images to obtain class-specific data representations of the input data without any supervised information. The classifier uses extracted features by the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based feature extractor with labeled information of training data to set space of each category and then, using linear regression, makes predictions in the testing procedure. Comparing with existing unsupervised deep learning representation high-resolution remote sensing image scene classification methods, contrastive learning CNN achieves state-of-the-art performance on three different scale benchmark data sets: small scale RSSCN7 data set, midscale aerial image data set, and large-scale NWPU-RESISC45 data set.

Imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) aim to decode different neural activities into control signals by identifying and classifying various natural commands from electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns and then control corresponding equipment. However, several traditional BCI recognition algorithms have the “one person, one model” issue, where the convergence of the recognition model’s training process is complicated. In this study, a new BCI model with a Dense long short-term memory (Dense-LSTM) algorithm is proposed, which combines the event-related desynchronization (ERD) and the event-related synchronization (ERS) of the imagery-based BCI; model training and testing were conducted with its own data set. Furthermore, a new experimental platform was built to decode the neural activity of different subjects in a static state. Experimental evaluation of the proposed recognition algorithm presents an accuracy of 91.56%, which resolves the “one person one model” issue along with the difficulty of convergence in the training process.

The reported study was undertaken in a small agricultural watershed, namely, Kapgari in Eastern India having a drainage area of 973 ha. The watershed was subdivided into three sub-watersheds on the basis of drainage network and land topography. An attempt was made to relate the continuously monitored runoff data from the sub-watersheds and the whole-watershed with the rainfall and temperature data using the artificial neural network (ANN) technique. The reported study also evaluated the bias in the prediction of daily runoff with shorter length of training data set using different resampling techniques with the ANN modeling. A 10-fold cross-validation (CV) technique was used to find the optimum number of hidden neurons in the hidden layer and to avoid neural network over-fitting during the training process for shorter length of data. The results illustrated that the ANN models developed with shorter length of training data set avoid neural network over-fitting during the training process, using a 10-fold CV method. Moreover, the biasness was investigated using the bootstrap resampling technique based ANN (BANN) for short length of training data set. In comparison with the 10-fold CV technique, the BANN is more efficient in solving the problems of the over-fitting and under-fitting during training of models for shorter length of data set.

Building extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images is of great significance in urban planning, population statistics, and economic forecast. However, automatic building extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images remains challenging. On the one hand, the extraction results of buildings are partially missing and incomplete due to the variation of hue and texture within a building, especially when the building size is large. On the other hand, the building footprint extraction of buildings with complex shapes is often inaccurate. To this end, we propose a new deep learning network, termed Building Residual Refine Network (BRRNet), for accurate and complete building extraction. BRRNet consists of such two parts as the prediction module and the residual refinement module. The prediction module based on an encoder–decoder structure introduces atrous convolution of different dilation rates to extract more global features, by gradually increasing the receptive field during feature extraction. When the prediction module outputs the preliminary building extraction results of the input image, the residual refinement module takes the output of the prediction module as an input. It further refines the residual between the result of the prediction module and the real result, thus improving the accuracy of building extraction. In addition, we use Dice loss as the loss function during training, which effectively alleviates the problem of data imbalance and further improves the accuracy of building extraction. The experimental results on Massachusetts Building Dataset show that our method outperforms other five state-of-the-art methods in terms of the integrity of buildings and the accuracy of complex building footprints.

Abstract Owing to the diversity of pulse-wave morphology, pulse-based diagnosis is difficult, especially pulse-wave-pattern classification (PWPC). A powerful method for PWPC is a convolutional neural network (CNN). It outperforms conventional methods in pattern classification due to extracting informative abstraction and features. For previous PWPC criteria, the relationship between pulse and disease types is not clear. In order to improve the clinical practicability, there is a need for a CNN model to find the one-to-one correspondence between pulse pattern and disease categories. In this study, five cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and complications were extracted from medical records as classification criteria to build pulse data set 1. Four physiological parameters closely related to the selected diseases were also extracted as classification criteria to build data set 2. An optimized CNN model with stronger feature extraction capability for pulse signals was proposed, which achieved PWPC with 95% accuracy in data set 1 and 89% accuracy in data set 2. It demonstrated that pulse waves are the result of multiple physiological parameters. There are limitations when using a single physiological parameter to characterise the overall pulse pattern. The proposed CNN model can achieve high accuracy of PWPC while using CVD and complication categories as classification criteria.

Fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) can transmit and receive electromagnetic energy on four polarization channels (HH, HV, VH, VV). The data acquired from four channels have both similarities and complementarities. Utilizing the information between the four channels can considerably improve the performance of PolSAR image classification. Convolutional neural network can be used to extract the channel-spatial features of PolSAR images. Self-paced learning has been demonstrated to be instrumental in enhancing the learning robustness of convolutional neural network. In this paper, a novel classification method for PolSAR images using self-paced convolutional neural network (SPCNN) is proposed. In our method, each pixel is denoted by a 3-dimensional tensor block formed by its scattering intensity values on four channels, Pauli’s RGB values and its neighborhood information. Then, we train SPCNN to extract the channel-spatial features and obtain the classification results. Inspired by self-paced learning, SPCNN learns the easier samples first and gradually involves more difficult samples into the training process. This learning mechanism can make network converge to better values. The proposed method achieved state-of-the-art performances on four real PolSAR dataset.
