Information Image

Remote-sensing images constitute an important means of obtaining geographic information. Image super-resolution reconstruction techniques are effective methods of improving the spatial resolution of remote-sensing images. Super-resolution reconstruction networks mainly improve the model performance by increasing the network depth. However, blindly increasing the network depth can easily lead to gradient disappearance or gradient explosion, increasing the difficulty of training. This report proposes a new pyramidal multi-scale residual network (PMSRN) that uses hierarchical residual-like connections and dilation convolution to form a multi-scale dilation residual block (MSDRB). The MSDRB enhances the ability to detect context information and fuses hierarchical features through the hierarchical feature fusion structure. Finally, a complementary block of global and local features is added to the reconstruction structure to alleviate the problem that useful original information is ignored. The experimental results showed that, compared with a basic multi-scale residual network, the PMSRN increased the peak signal-to-noise ratio by up to 0.44 dB and the structural similarity to 0.9776.

Multispectral Remote Sensing

Abstract With the advent of sensor technology, the exertion of multispectral image (MSI) is comely omnipresent. Denoising is an essential quest in multispectral image processing which further improves recital of unmixing, classification and supplementary ensuing praxis. Explication and ocular analysis are essential to extricate data from remote sensing images for broad realm of supplications. This paper describes curvelet transform based denoising of multispectral remote sensing images. The implementation of curvelet transform is done by using both wrapping function and unequally spaced fast Fourier transform (USFFT) and they diverge in selection of spatial grid which is used to construe curvelets at every orientation and scale. The coefficients of curvelets are docket by a scaling factor, angle and spatial location criterion. This paper crisps on denoising of Linear Imaging Self Scanning Sensor (LISS) III images. The proposed denoising approach has also been collated with some existing schemes for assessment. The efficacy of proposed approach is analyzed with calculation of facet matrices such as Peak signal to noise ratio and Structural similarity at distinct variance of noise..

Context Extraction

Semantic segmentation of high-resolution remote sensing images is highly challenging due to the presence of a complicated background, irregular target shapes, and similarities in the appearance of multiple target categories. Most of the existing segmentation methods that rely only on simple fusion of the extracted multi-scale features often fail to provide satisfactory results when there is a large difference in the target sizes. Handling this problem through multi-scale context extraction and efficient fusion of multi-scale features, in this paper we present an end-to-end multi-scale adaptive feature fusion network (MANet) for semantic segmentation in remote sensing images. It is a coding and decoding structure that includes a multi-scale context extraction module (MCM) and an adaptive fusion module (AFM). The MCM employs two layers of atrous convolutions with different dilatation rates and global average pooling to extract context information at multiple scales in parallel. MANet embeds the channel attention mechanism to fuse semantic features. The high- and low-level semantic information are concatenated to generate global features via global average pooling. These global features are used as channel weights to acquire adaptive weight information of each channel by the fully connected layer. To accomplish an efficient fusion, these tuned weights are applied to the fused features. Performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by comparing it with six other state-of-the-art networks: fully convolutional networks (FCN), U-net, UZ1, Light-weight RefineNet, DeepLabv3+, and APPD. Experiments performed using the publicly available Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets show that the proposed MANet significantly outperforms the other existing networks, with overall accuracy reaching 89.4% and 88.2%, respectively and with average of F1 reaching 90.4% and 86.7% respectively.

Automatic Interpretation

Object detection in remote sensing images (RSIs) is one of the basic tasks in the field of remote sensing image automatic interpretation. In recent years, the deep object detection frameworks of natural scene images (NSIs) have been introduced into object detection on RSIs, and the detection performance has improved significantly because of the powerful feature representation. However, there are still many challenges concerning the particularities of remote sensing objects. One of the main challenges is the missed detection of small objects which have less than five percent of the pixels of the big objects. Generally, the existing algorithms choose to deal with this problem by multi-scale feature fusion based on a feature pyramid. However, the benefits of this strategy are limited, considering that the location of small objects in the feature map will disappear when the detection task is processed at the end of the network. In this study, we propose a subtask attention network (StAN), which handles the detection task directly on the shallow layer of the network. First, StAN contains one shared feature branch and two subtask attention branches of a semantic auxiliary subtask and a detection subtask based on the multi-task attention network (MTAN). Second, the detection branch uses only low-level features considering small objects. Third, the attention map guidance mechanism is put forward to optimize the network for keeping the identification ability. Fourth, the multi-dimensional sampling module (MdS), global multi-view channel weights (GMulW) and target-guided pixel attention (TPA) are designed for further improvement of the detection accuracy in complex scenes. The experimental results on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset and DOTA dataset demonstrated that the proposed algorithm achieved the SOTA performance, and the missed detection of small objects decreased. On the other hand, ablation experiments also proved the effects of MdS, GMulW and TPA.
