Previous works, o...This paper introduces a lightweight remote sensing image dehazing network called multidimensional weight regulation network(MDWR-Net), which addresses the high computational cost of existing methods. Previous works, often based on the encoder-decoder structure and utilizing multiple upsampling and downsampling layers, are computationally expensive. To improve efficiency, the paper proposes two modules: the efficient spatial resolution recovery module(ESRR) for upsampling and the efficient depth information augmentation module(EDIA) for downsampling.These modules not only reduce model complexity but also enhance performance. Additionally, the partial feature weight learning module(PFWL) is introduced to reduce the computational burden by applying weight learning across partial dimensions, rather than using full-channel convolution.To overcome the limitations of convolutional neural networks(CNN)-based networks, the haze distribution index transformer(HDIT) is integrated into the decoder. We also propose the physicalbased non-adjacent feature fusion module(PNFF), which leverages the atmospheric scattering model to improve generalization of our MDWR-Net. The MDWR-Net achieves superior dehazing performance with a computational cost of just 2.98×10^(9) multiply-accumulate operations(MACs),which is less than one-tenth of previous methods. Experimental results validate its effectiveness in balancing performance and computational efficiency.展开更多

To address these issues, this paper proposes a vision-language aligning paradigm for RSIC to jointly represent vision and language. First, a new RSIC dataset DIOR-Captions is built for augmenting object detection in optical remote(DIOR) sensing images dataset with manually annotated Chinese and English contents. Second, a Vision-Language aligning model with Cross-modal Attention(VLCA) is presented to generate accurate and abundant bilingual descriptions for remote sensing images. Third, a crossmodal learning network is introduced to address the problem of visual-lingual alignment. Notably, VLCA is also applied to end-toend Chinese captions generation by using the pre-training language model of Chinese. The experiments are carried out with various baselines to validate VLCA on the proposed dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more descriptive and informative than existing algorithms in producing captions.展开更多

First, the relationship among water depth, wavelength and wave radian frequency in shallow water was deduced based on shallow-water wave theory. Considering the complex wave distribution in the optical remote sensing imagery, Fast Fourier Transform （FFT） and spatial profile measurements were applied for measuring the wavelengths. Then, the wave radian frequency was calculated by analyzing the long-distance fluctuation in the wavelength, which solved a key problem in obtaining the wave radian frequency in a single-frame image. A case study was conducted for Sanya Bay of Hainan Island, China. Single-flame fine-resolution optical remote sensing imagery from QuickBird satellite was used to invert the bathymetry without external input parameters. The result of the digital elevation model （DEM） was evaluated against a sea chart with a scale of 1：25 000. The root-mean-square error of the inverted bathymetry was 1.07 m, and the relative error was 16.2%. Therefore, the proposed method has the advantages including no requirement for true depths and environmental parameters, and is feasible for mapping the bathymetry of shallow coastal water.展开更多

Wetland classification and mapping is the basis for wetland research. It is difficult to generate wetland data sets using traditional methods because of the low accessibility of wetlands, hence remote sensing data have become one of the primary data sources in wetland research. This paper presents a case study conducted at the core area of Honghe National Nature Reserve in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. In this study, three images generated by airship, from Thematic Mapper and from SPOT 5 were selected to produce wetland maps at three different wetland landscape levels. After assessing classification accuracies of the three maps, we compared the different wetland mapping results of 11 plant communities to the airship image, 6 plant ecotypes to the TM image and 9 landscape classifications to the SPOT 5 image. We discussed the different characteristics of the hierarchical ecosystem classifications based on the spatial scales of the different images. The results indicate that spatial scales of remote sensing data have an important link to the hierarchies of wetland plant ecosystems displayed on the wetland landscape maps. The richness of wetland landscape information derived from an image closely relates to its spatial resolution. This study can enrich the ecological classification methods and mapping techniques dealing with the spatial scales of different remote sensing images. With a better understanding of classification accuracies in mapping wetlands by using different scales of remote sensing data, we can make an appropriate approach for dealing with the scale issue of remote sensing images.展开更多

文摘Semantic segmentation provides important technical support for Land cover/land use(LCLU)research.By calculating the cosine similarity between feature vectors,transformer-based models can effectively capture the global information of high-resolution remote sensing images.However,the diversity of detailed and edge features within the same class of ground objects in high-resolution remote sensing images leads to a dispersed embedding distribution.The dispersed feature distribution enlarges feature vector angles and reduces cosine similarity,weakening the attention mechanism’s ability to identify the same class of ground objects.To address this challenge,remote sensing image information granulation transformer for semantic segmentation is proposed.The model employs adaptive granulation to extract common semantic features among objects of the same class,constructing an information granule to replace the detailed feature representation of these objects.Then,the Laplacian operator of the information granule is applied to extract the edge features of the object as represented by the information granule.In the experiments,the proposed model was validated on the Beijing Land-Use(BLU),Gaofen Image Dataset(GID),and Potsdam Dataset(PD).In particular,the model achieves 88.81%for mOA,82.64%for mF1,and 71.50%for mIoU metrics on the GID dataset.Experimental results show that the model effectively handles high-resolution remote sensing images.Our code is available at https://github.com/sjmp525/RSIGT(accessed on 16 April 2025).
文摘The objective of this study is to address semantic misalignment and insufficient accuracy in edge detail and discrimination detection,which are common issues in deep learning-based change detection methods relying on encoding and decoding frameworks.In response to this,we propose a model called FlowDual-PixelClsObjectMec(FPCNet),which innovatively incorporates dual flow alignment technology in the decoding stage to rectify semantic discrepancies through streamlined feature correction fusion.Furthermore,the model employs an object-level similarity measurement coupled with pixel-level classification in the PixelClsObjectMec(PCOM)module during the final discrimination stage,significantly enhancing edge detail detection and overall accuracy.Experimental evaluations on the change detection dataset(CDD)and building CDD demonstrate superior performance,with F1 scores of 95.1%and 92.8%,respectively.Our findings indicate that the FPCNet outperforms the existing algorithms in stability,robustness,and other key metrics.
文摘This paper introduces a lightweight remote sensing image dehazing network called multidimensional weight regulation network(MDWR-Net), which addresses the high computational cost of existing methods. Previous works, often based on the encoder-decoder structure and utilizing multiple upsampling and downsampling layers, are computationally expensive. To improve efficiency, the paper proposes two modules: the efficient spatial resolution recovery module(ESRR) for upsampling and the efficient depth information augmentation module(EDIA) for downsampling.These modules not only reduce model complexity but also enhance performance. Additionally, the partial feature weight learning module(PFWL) is introduced to reduce the computational burden by applying weight learning across partial dimensions, rather than using full-channel convolution.To overcome the limitations of convolutional neural networks(CNN)-based networks, the haze distribution index transformer(HDIT) is integrated into the decoder. We also propose the physicalbased non-adjacent feature fusion module(PNFF), which leverages the atmospheric scattering model to improve generalization of our MDWR-Net. The MDWR-Net achieves superior dehazing performance with a computational cost of just 2.98×10^(9) multiply-accumulate operations(MACs),which is less than one-tenth of previous methods. Experimental results validate its effectiveness in balancing performance and computational efficiency.

文摘In the field of satellite imagery, remote sensing image captioning(RSIC) is a hot topic with the challenge of overfitting and difficulty of image and text alignment. To address these issues, this paper proposes a vision-language aligning paradigm for RSIC to jointly represent vision and language. First, a new RSIC dataset DIOR-Captions is built for augmenting object detection in optical remote(DIOR) sensing images dataset with manually annotated Chinese and English contents. Second, a Vision-Language aligning model with Cross-modal Attention(VLCA) is presented to generate accurate and abundant bilingual descriptions for remote sensing images. Third, a crossmodal learning network is introduced to address the problem of visual-lingual alignment. Notably, VLCA is also applied to end-toend Chinese captions generation by using the pre-training language model of Chinese. The experiments are carried out with various baselines to validate VLCA on the proposed dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more descriptive and informative than existing algorithms in producing captions.

文摘Landslides,collapses and cracks are the main types of geological hazards,which threaten the safety of human life and property at all times.In emergency surveying and mapping,it is timeconsuming and laborious to use the method of field artificial investigation and recognition and using satellite image to identify ground hazards,there are some problems,such as time lag,low resolution,and difficult to select the map on demand.In this paper,a10 cm per pixel resolution photogrammetry of a geological hazard-prone area of Taohuagou,Shanxi Province,China is carried out by DJ 4 UAV.The digital orthophoto model(DOM),digital surface model(DSM) and three-dimensional point cloud model(3 DPCM) are generated in this region.The method of visual interpretation of cracks based on DOM(as main)-3 DPCM(as auxiliary) and landslide and collapse based on 3 DPCM(as main)-DOM and DSM(as auxiliary) are proposed.Based on the low altitude remote sensing image of UAV,the shape characteristics,geological characteristics and distribution of the identified hazards are analyzed.The results show that using UAV low altitude remote sensing image,the method of combination of main and auxiliary data can quickly and accurately identify landslide,collapse and crack,the accuracy of crack identification is 93%,and the accuracy of landslide and collapse identification is 100%.It mainly occurs in silty clay and mudstone geology and is greatly affected by slope foot excavation.This study can play a great role in the recognition of sudden hazards by low altitude remote sensing images of UAV.

文摘Although the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)has shown great potential for land cover classification,the frequently used single-scale convolution kernel limits the scope of informa-tion extraction.Therefore,we propose a Multi-Scale Fully Convolutional Network(MSFCN)with a multi-scale convolutional kernel as well as a Channel Attention Block(CAB)and a Global Pooling Module(GPM)in this paper to exploit discriminative representations from two-dimensional(2D)satellite images.Meanwhile,to explore the ability of the proposed MSFCN for spatio-temporal images,we expand our MSFCN to three-dimension using three-dimensional(3D)CNN,capable of harnessing each land cover category’s time series interac-tion from the reshaped spatio-temporal remote sensing images.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN,we conduct experiments on two spatial datasets and two spatio-temporal datasets.The proposed MSFCN achieves 60.366%on the WHDLD dataset and 75.127%on the GID dataset in terms of mIoU index while the figures for two spatio-temporal datasets are 87.753%and 77.156%.Extensive comparative experiments and abla-tion studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN.

文摘This paper presents a bathymetry inversion method using single-frame fine-resolution optical remote sensing imagery based on ocean-wave refraction and shallow-water wave theory. First, the relationship among water depth, wavelength and wave radian frequency in shallow water was deduced based on shallow-water wave theory. Considering the complex wave distribution in the optical remote sensing imagery, Fast Fourier Transform （FFT） and spatial profile measurements were applied for measuring the wavelengths. Then, the wave radian frequency was calculated by analyzing the long-distance fluctuation in the wavelength, which solved a key problem in obtaining the wave radian frequency in a single-frame image. A case study was conducted for Sanya Bay of Hainan Island, China. Single-flame fine-resolution optical remote sensing imagery from QuickBird satellite was used to invert the bathymetry without external input parameters. The result of the digital elevation model （DEM） was evaluated against a sea chart with a scale of 1：25 000. The root-mean-square error of the inverted bathymetry was 1.07 m, and the relative error was 16.2%. Therefore, the proposed method has the advantages including no requirement for true depths and environmental parameters, and is feasible for mapping the bathymetry of shallow coastal water.

文摘Wetland research has become a hot spot linking multiple disciplines presently. Wetland classification and mapping is the basis for wetland research. It is difficult to generate wetland data sets using traditional methods because of the low accessibility of wetlands, hence remote sensing data have become one of the primary data sources in wetland research. This paper presents a case study conducted at the core area of Honghe National Nature Reserve in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. In this study, three images generated by airship, from Thematic Mapper and from SPOT 5 were selected to produce wetland maps at three different wetland landscape levels. After assessing classification accuracies of the three maps, we compared the different wetland mapping results of 11 plant communities to the airship image, 6 plant ecotypes to the TM image and 9 landscape classifications to the SPOT 5 image. We discussed the different characteristics of the hierarchical ecosystem classifications based on the spatial scales of the different images. The results indicate that spatial scales of remote sensing data have an important link to the hierarchies of wetland plant ecosystems displayed on the wetland landscape maps. The richness of wetland landscape information derived from an image closely relates to its spatial resolution. This study can enrich the ecological classification methods and mapping techniques dealing with the spatial scales of different remote sensing images. With a better understanding of classification accuracies in mapping wetlands by using different scales of remote sensing data, we can make an appropriate approach for dealing with the scale issue of remote sensing images.

文摘The exploration of building detection plays an important role in urban planning,smart city and military.Aiming at the problem of high overlapping ratio of detection frames for dense building detection in high resolution remote sensing images,we present an effective YOLOv3 framework,corner regression-based YOLOv3(Correg-YOLOv3),to localize dense building accurately.This improved YOLOv3 algorithm establishes a vertex regression mechanism and an additional loss item about building vertex offsets relative to the center point of bounding box.By extending output dimensions,the trained model is able to output the rectangular bounding boxes and the building vertices meanwhile.Finally,we evaluate the performance of the Correg-YOLOv3 on our self-produced data set and provide a comparative analysis qualitatively and quantitatively.The experimental results achieve high performance in precision(96.45%),recall rate(95.75%),F1 score(96.10%)and average precision(98.05%),which were 2.73%,5.4%,4.1%and 4.73%higher than that of YOLOv3.Therefore,our proposed algorithm effectively tackles the problem of dense building detection in high resolution images.

文摘Remote sensing image registration is still a challenging task owing to the significant influence of nonlinear differences between remote sensing images.To solve this problem,this paper proposes a novel approach with regard to feature-based remote sensing image registration.There are two key contributions:1)we bring forward an improved strategy of composite nonlinear diffusion filtering according to the scale factors in multi-scale space and 2)we design a gradually decreasing resolution of multi-scale pyramid space.And a binary code string is served as feature descriptors to improve matching efficiency.Extensive experiments of different categories of remote image datasets on feature extraction and feature registration are performed.The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed scheme compared with other classical algorithms in terms of correct matching ratio,accuracy and computation efficiency.

文摘The semantic segmentation methods based on CNN have made great progress,but there are still some shortcomings in the application of remote sensing images segmentation,such as the small receptive field can not effectively capture global context.In order to solve this problem,this paper proposes a hybrid model based on ResNet50 and swin transformer to directly capture long-range dependence,which fuses features through Cross Feature Modulation Module(CFMM).Experimental results on two publicly available datasets,Vaihingen and Potsdam,are mIoU of 70.27%and 76.63%,respectively.Thus,CFM-UNet can maintain a high segmentation performance compared with other competitive networks.

文摘The recent advances in remote sensing and computer techniques give birth to the explosive growth of remote sensing images.The emergence of cloud storage has brought new opportunities for storage and management of massive remote sensing images with its large storage space,cost savings.However,the openness of cloud brings challenges for image data security.In this paper,we propose a weighted image sharing scheme to ensure the security of remote sensing in cloud environment,which takes the weights of participants(i.e.,cloud service providers)into consideration.An extended Mignotte sequence is constructed according to the weights of participants,and we can generate image shadow shares based on the hash value which can be obtained from gray value of remote sensing images.Then we store the shadows in every cloud service provider,respectively.At last,we restore the remote sensing image based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem.Experimental results show the proposed scheme can effectively realize the secure storage of remote sensing images in the cloud.The experiment also shows that no matter weight values,each service providers only needs to save one share,which simplifies the management and usage,it also reduces the transmission of secret information,strengthens the security and practicality of this scheme.
