Abstract. Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) has been used in many applications related to coastal management. SDB can efficiently fill data gaps obtained from traditional measurements with echo sounding. However, it still requires numerous training data, which is not available in many areas. Furthermore, the accuracy problem still arises considering the linear model could not address the non-relationship between reflectance and depth due to bottom variations and noise. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) offers the ability to capture the connection between neighbouring pixels and the non-linear relationship. These CNN characteristics make it compelling to be used for shallow water depth extraction. We investigate the accuracy of different architectures using different window sizes and band combinations. We use Sentinel-2 Level 2A images to provide reflectance values, and Lidar and Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) datasets are used as depth references to train and test the model. A set of Sentinel-2 and in-situ depth subimage pairs are extracted to perform CNN training. The model is compared to the linear transform and applied to two other study areas. Resulting accuracy ranges from 1.3 m to 1.94 m, and the coefficient of determination reaches 0.94. The SDB model generated using a window size of 9x9 indicates compatibility with the reference depths, especially at areas deeper than 15 m. The addition of both short wave infrared bands to the four visible bands in training improves the overall accuracy of SDB. The implementation of the pre-trained model to other study areas provides similar results depending on the water conditions.

AbstractWeed interference during crop establishment is a serious concern for Florida strawberry [Fragaria×ananassa(Weston) Duchesne ex Rozier (pro sp.) [chiloensis×virginiana]] producers. In situ remote detection for precision herbicide application reduces both the risk of crop injury and herbicide inputs. Carolina geranium (Geranium carolinianumL.) is a widespread broadleaf weed within Florida strawberry production with sensitivity to clopyralid, the only available POST broadleaf herbicide.Geranium carolinianumleaf structure is distinct from that of the strawberry plant, which makes it an ideal candidate for pattern recognition in digital images via convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The study objective was to assess the precision of three CNNs in detectingG. carolinianum. Images ofG. carolinianumgrowing in competition with strawberry were gathered at four sites in Hillsborough County, FL. Three CNNs were compared, including object detection–based DetectNet, image classification–based VGGNet, and GoogLeNet. Two DetectNet networks were trained to detect either leaves or canopies ofG. carolinianum. Image classification using GoogLeNet and VGGNet was largely unsuccessful during validation with whole images (Fscore<0.02). CNN training using cropped images increasedG. carolinianumdetection during validation for VGGNet (Fscore=0.77) and GoogLeNet (Fscore=0.62). TheG. carolinianumleaf–trained DetectNet achieved the highestFscore(0.94) for plant detection during validation. Leaf-based detection led to more consistent detection ofG. carolinianumwithin the strawberry canopy and reduced recall-related errors encountered in canopy-based training. The smaller target of leaf-based DetectNet did increase false positives, but such errors can be overcome with additional training images for network desensitization training. DetectNet was the most viable CNN tested for image-based remote sensing ofG. carolinianumin competition with strawberry. Future research will identify the optimal approach for in situ detection and integrate the detection technology with a precision sprayer.

Applications of neural networks have gained significant importance in embedded mobile devices and Internet of Things (IoT) nodes. In particular, convolutional neural networks have emerged as one of the most powerful techniques in computer vision, speech recognition, and AI applications that can improve the mobile user experience. However, satisfying all power and performance requirements of such low power devices is a significant challenge. Recent work has shown that binarizing a neural network can significantly improve the memory requirements of mobile devices at the cost of minor loss in accuracy. This paper proposes MB-CNN, a memristive accelerator for binary convolutional neural networks that perform XNOR convolution in-situ novel 2R memristive data blocks to improve power, performance, and memory requirements of embedded mobile devices. The proposed accelerator achieves at least 13.26 × , 5.91 × , and 3.18 × improvements in the system energy efficiency (computed by energy × delay) over the state-of-the-art software, GPU, and PIM architectures, respectively. The solution architecture which integrates CPU, GPU and MB-CNN outperforms every other configuration in terms of system energy and execution time.

In this study, we propose a method for training convolutional neural networks to make them identify and classify images with higher classification accuracy. By combining the Cartesian and polar coordinate systems when describing the images, the method of recognition and classification for plankton images is discussed. The optimized classification and recognition networks are constructed. They are available for in situ plankton images, exploiting the advantages of both coordinate systems in the network training process. Fusing the two types of vectors and using them as the input for conventional machine learning models for classification, support vector machines (SVMs) are selected as the classifiers to combine these two features of vectors, coming from different image coordinate descriptions. The accuracy of the proposed model was markedly higher than those of the initial classical convolutional neural networks when using the in situ plankton image data, with the increases in classification accuracy and recall rate being 5.3% and 5.1% respectively. In addition, the proposed training method can improve the classification performance considerably when used on the public CIFAR-10 dataset.

Abstract. Two existing chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration retrieval procedures, which are analytical and empirical, are hindered by the complexity in radiative transfer equation (RTE) and in statistical analyses, respectively. Another promising model in this direction is the use of artificial neural networks (ANN). Mostly, a pixel-to-pixel with one-layer ANN model is used; where in fact that the satellite instrumental errors and man-made objects in water bodies might affect the retrieval and should be taken into account. In this study, the mask-based neural structure, called convolutional neural networks (CNN) model containing both the target and neighborhood pixels, is proposed to reduce the influence of the aforementioned premises. The proposed model is an end-to-end multiple-layer model which integrates band expansion, feature extraction, and chl-a estimation into the structure, leading to an optimal chl-a concentration retrieval. In addition to that, a two-stage training is also proposed to solve the problem of insufficient in-situ samples which happens in most of the time. In the first stage, the proposed model is trained by using the chl-a concentration derived from the water product, provided by satellite agency, and is refined with the in-situ samples in the second stage. Eight Sentinel-3 images from different acquisition time and coincide in-situ measurements over Laguna Lake waters of Philippines were utilized to conduct the model training and testing. Based on quantitative accuracy assessment, the proposed method outperformed the existing dual- and triple- bands combinations in chl-a concentration retrieval.
