Observation Environment

Ground radar interferometry technology, as a new tool for active remote sensing, has been widely used in the detection of a variety of targets, including landslides, bridges, mines, and dams. This technique usually employs a continuous observation mode with no space baseline. The detection accuracy is mainly affected by meteorological disturbances and noise in the observation environment. In a complex observation environment, meteorological disturbances can lead to phase errors of 10 mm or more, and the effects are different in the range and azimuth directions; this can seriously affect the accuracy of the measurement. In this paper, we analyze the spatial distribution of the phase of meteorological disturbances based on radar monitoring experiments in a complex environment, and propose a correction method that reduces the atmospheric disturbance phase to less than 0.6 mm and effectively improves radar observation accuracy.

Despite significant progress in object detection tasks, remote sensing image target detection is still challenging owing to complex backgrounds, large differences in target sizes, and uneven distribution of rotating objects. In this study, we consider model accuracy, inference speed, and detection of objects at any angle. We also propose a RepVGG-YOLO network using an improved RepVGG model as the backbone feature extraction network, which performs the initial feature extraction from the input image and considers network training accuracy and inference speed. We use an improved feature pyramid network (FPN) and path aggregation network (PANet) to reprocess feature output by the backbone network. The FPN and PANet module integrates feature maps of different layers, combines context information on multiple scales, accumulates multiple features, and strengthens feature information extraction. Finally, to maximize the detection accuracy of objects of all sizes, we use four target detection scales at the network output to enhance feature extraction from small remote sensing target pixels. To solve the angle problem of any object, we improved the loss function for classification using circular smooth label technology, turning the angle regression problem into a classification problem, and increasing the detection accuracy of objects at any angle. We conducted experiments on two public datasets, DOTA and HRSC2016. Our results show the proposed method performs better than previous methods.

AbstractIn order to monitor the high-level landslides frequently occurring in Jinsha River area of Southwest China, and protect the lives and property safety of people in mountainous areas, the data of satellite remote sensing images are combined with various factors inducing landslides and transformed into landslide influence factors, which provides data basis for the establishment of landslide detection model. Then, based on the deep belief networks (DBN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, two landslide detection models DBN and convolutional neural-deep belief network (CDN) are established to monitor the high-level landslide in Jinsha River. The influence of the model parameters on the landslide detection results is analyzed, and the accuracy of DBN and CDN models in dealing with actual landslide problems is compared. The results show that when the number of neurons in the DBN is 100, the overall error is the minimum, and when the number of learning layers is 3, the classification error is the minimum. The detection accuracy of DBN and CDN is 97.56% and 97.63%, respectively, which indicates that both DBN and CDN models are feasible in dealing with landslides from remote sensing images. This exploration provides a reference for the study of high-level landslide disasters in Jinsha River.

Aperture Radar

As aerospace technology, computer technology, network communication technology and information technology become more and more perfect, a variety of sensors for measurement and remote sensing are constantly emerging, and the ability to acquire remote sensing data is also continuously enhanced. Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technology greatly expands the function and application field of imaging radar. Differential InSAR (DInSAR) developed based on InSAR technology has the advantages of high precision and all-weather compared with traditional measurement methods. However, DInSAR-based deformation monitoring is susceptible to spatiotemporal coherence, orbital errors, atmospheric delays, and elevation errors. Since phase noise is the main error of InSAR, to determine the appropriate filtering parameters, an iterative adaptive filtering method for interferogram is proposed. For the limitation of conventional DInSAR, to improve the accuracy of deformation monitoring as much as possible, this paper proposes a deformation modeling based on ridge estimation and regularization as a constraint condition, and introduces a variance component estimation to optimize the deformation results. The simulation experiment of the iterative adaptive filtering method and the deformation modeling proposed in this paper shows that the deformation information extraction method based on differential synthetic aperture radar has high precision and feasibility.

Occlusion Removal

AbstractOcclusion removal is a significant problem to be resolved in a remote traffic control system to enhance road safety. However, the conventional techniques do not recognize traffic signs well due to the vehicles are occluded. Besides occlusion removal was not performed in existing techniques with a less amount of time. In order to overcome such limitations, Non-linear Gaussian Bilateral Filtered Sorenson–Dice Exemplar Image Inpainting Based Bayes Conditional Probability (NGBFSEII-BCP) Method is proposed. Initially, a number of remote sensing images are taken as input from Highway Traffic Dataset. Then, the NGBFSEII-BCP method applies the Non-Linear Gaussian Bilateral Filtering (NGBF) algorithm for removing the noise pixels in input images. After preprocessing, the NGBFSEII-BCP method is used to remove the occlusion in the input images. Finally, NGBFSEII-BCP Method applies Bayes conditional probability to find operation status and thereby gets higher road safety using remote sensing images. The technique conducts the simulation evaluation using metrics such as peak signal to noise ratio, computational time, and detection accuracy. The simulation result illustrates that the NGBFSEII-BCP Method increases the detection accuracy by 20% and reduces the computation time by 32% as compared to state-of-the-art works.
