Abstract Hyperspectral imaging is a versatile and powerful technology for gathering geo-data. Planes and satellites equipped with hyperspectral cameras are currently the leading contenders for large-scale imaging projects. Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional methods for detecting sparse representation of multi-spectral images, this paper proposes wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based single-hyperspectral image super-resolution method based on deep residual convolutional neural networks. We propose a different strategy that involves merging cheaper multispectral sensors to achieve hyperspectral-like spectral resolution while maintaining the WSN's spatial resolution. This method studies and mines the nonlinear relationship between low-resolution remote sensing images and high-resolution remote sensing images, constructs a deep residual convolutional neural network, connects multiple residual blocks in series, and removes some unnecessary modules. For this purpose, a decision support system is used that provides the outcome to the next layer. Finally, this paper, fully explores the similarities between natural images and hyperspectral images, use natural image samples to train convolutional neural networks, and further use migration learning to introduce the trained network model to the super-resolution problem of high-resolution remote sensing images, and solve the lack of training samples problem. A comparison between different algorithms for processing data on datasets collected in situ and via remote sensing is used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the method has good performance and can obtain better super-resolution effects.

With the widespread use of remote sensing images, low-resolution target detection in remote sensing images has become a hot research topic in the field of computer vision. In this paper, we propose a Target Detection on Super-Resolution Reconstruction (TDoSR) method to solve the problem of low target recognition rates in low-resolution remote sensing images under foggy conditions. The TDoSR method uses the Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) to perform defogging and super-resolution reconstruction of foggy low-resolution remote sensing images. In the target detection part, the Rotation Equivariant Detector (ReDet) algorithm, which has a higher recognition rate at this stage, is used to identify and classify various types of targets. While a large number of experiments have been carried out on the remote sensing image dataset DOTA-v1.5, the results of this paper suggest that the proposed method achieves good results in the target detection of low-resolution foggy remote sensing images. The principal result of this paper demonstrates that the recognition rate of the TDoSR method increases by roughly 20% when compared with low-resolution foggy remote sensing images.

High-resolution images have always been in urgent need in the fields of surveying, mapping, military and civilian. In this paper, first, based on anisotropic nonlinear diffusion tensor, a diffusion tensor regularization term which can make full use of direction selection smoothing property was constructed. Based on the improved gradient vector field (GVF), a regularization term which can constrain the continuity of gradient vectors for high-resolution and low-resolution images was constructed. On the basis of these, a multi-frame super-resolution reconstruction algorithm based on double regularization terms was proposed and verified by simulation. Second, combining PCA with adaptive dictionary learning, two constraints of reconstruction regularity based on improved nonlocal means and kernel regression were proposed for experimental verification, and an improved K-means clustering algorithm for initial centre selection of spatial characteristic measure clustering was proposed to enhance the stability of the algorithm. Then high-resolution image generated by learning method was used as the initial input of multi-frame reconstruction of optical remote sensing images. The experimental results show that the reconstruction algorithm based on partial differential equation and unsupervised learning achieves both subjective and objective results for the realization of super-resolution reconstruction of optical remote sensing images.

Target detection and extraction from high resolution remote sensing images is a basic and wide needed application. In this paper, to improve the efficiency of image interpretation, we propose a detection and segmentation combined method to realize semi-automatic target extraction. We introduce the dense transform color scale invariant feature transform (TC-SIFT) descriptor and the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) & HSV descriptor to characterize the spatial structure and color information of the targets. With the k-means cluster method, we get the bag of visual words, and then, we adopt three levels’ spatial pyramid (SP) to represent the target patch. After gathering lots of different kinds of target image patches from many high resolution UAV images, and using the TC-SIFT-SP and the multi-scale HOG & HSV feature, we constructed the SVM classifier to detect the target. In this paper, we take buildings as the targets. Experiment results show that the target detection accuracy of buildings can reach to above 90%. Based on the detection results which are a series of rectangle regions of the targets. We select the rectangle regions as candidates for foreground and adopt the GrabCut based and boundary regularized semi-auto interactive segmentation algorithm to get the accurate boundary of the target. Experiment results show its accuracy and efficiency. It can be an effective way for some special targets extraction.
