Abstract This paper presents the ‘NoisyOffice’ database. It consists of images of printed text documents with noise mainly caused by uncleanliness from a generic office, such as coffee stains and footprints on documents or folded and wrinkled sheets with degraded printed text. This corpus is intended to train and evaluate supervised learning methods for cleaning, binarization and enhancement of noisy images of grayscale text documents. As an example, several experiments of image enhancement and binarization are presented by using deep learning techniques. Also, double-resolution images are also provided for testing super-resolution methods. The corpus is freely available at UCI Machine Learning Repository. Finally, a challenge organized by Kaggle Inc. to denoise images, using the database, is described in order to show its suitability for benchmarking of image processing systems.

In recent years, different deep learning techniques were applied to segment aerial and satellite images. Nevertheless, state of the art techniques for land cover segmentation does not provide accurate results to be used in real applications. This is a problem faced by institutions and companies that want to replace time-consuming and exhausting human work with AI technology. In this work, we propose a method that combines deep learning with a human-in-the-loop strategy to achieve expert-level results at a low cost. We use a neural network to segment the images. In parallel, another network is used to measure uncertainty for predicted pixels. Finally, we combine these neural networks with a human-in-the-loop approach to produce correct predictions as if developed by human photointerpreters. Applying this methodology shows that we can increase the accuracy of land cover segmentation tasks while decreasing human intervention.

Coastal ecosystems are critically affected by seagrass, both economically and ecologically. However, reliable seagrass distribution information is lacking in nearly all parts of the world because of the excessive costs associated with its assessment. In this paper, we develop two deep learning models for automatic seagrass distribution quantification based on 8-band satellite imagery. Specifically, we implemented a deep capsule network (DCN) and a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess seagrass distribution through regression. The DCN model first determines whether seagrass is presented in the image through classification. Second, if seagrass is presented in the image, it quantifies the seagrass through regression. During training, the regression and classification modules are jointly optimized to achieve end-to-end learning. The CNN model is strictly trained for regression in seagrass and non-seagrass patches. In addition, we propose a transfer learning approach to transfer knowledge in the trained deep models at one location to perform seagrass quantification at a different location. We evaluate the proposed methods in three WorldView-2 satellite images taken from the coastal area in Florida. Experimental results show that the proposed deep DCN and CNN models performed similarly and achieved much better results than a linear regression model and a support vector machine. We also demonstrate that using transfer learning techniques for the quantification of seagrass significantly improved the results as compared to directly applying the deep models to new locations.

In recent years, numerous deep learning techniques have been proposed to tackle the semantic segmentation of aerial and satellite images, increase trust in the leaderboards of main scientific contests and represent the current state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, despite their promising results, these state-of-the-art techniques are still unable to provide results with the level of accuracy sought in real applications, i.e., in operational settings. Thus, it is mandatory to qualify these segmentation results and estimate the uncertainty brought about by a deep network. In this work, we address uncertainty estimations in semantic segmentation. To do this, we relied on a Bayesian deep learning method, based on Monte Carlo Dropout, which allows us to derive uncertainty metrics along with the semantic segmentation. Built on the most widespread U-Net architecture, our model achieves semantic segmentation with high accuracy on several state-of-the-art datasets. More importantly, uncertainty maps are also derived from our model. While they allow for the performance of a sounder qualitative evaluation of the segmentation results, they also include valuable information to improve the reference databases.
