AbstractThe traditional target recognition method for the remote sensing image is difficult to accurately identify the specified targets from the massive remote sensing image data. Based on the theory of multitemporal recognition, an automatic target recognition method for the remote sensing image is proposed in this article. The proposed recognition method includes four modules: automatic segmentation of multitemporal remote sensing image, automatic target extraction of multitemporal remote sensing image, automatic processing of multitemporal remote sensing image, and automatic recognition of multitemporal remote sensing image. The automatic segmentation of the image target is introduced. The effectiveness of the segmentation technology is verified through the kernel function bandwidth algorithm. Linear feature extraction is used to extract the segmented image. The image extraction processing is described, which includes image profile analysis, image preprocessing, image feature analysis, the region of interest localization, image enhancement processing, recognition processing, and result output. According to the theory of pattern recognition, three different feature recognition images are given, which are partial separable recognition, weakly separable recognition, and fully separable recognition, and then, a new image recognition method is designed. To verify the practical application effect of the recognition method, the proposed method is compared with the traditional recognition method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately identify the specified objects from the massive remote sensing image data and has a high potential for development. This article has an important guiding significance for image recognition.

Target recognition is an important application in the time of high-resolution remote sensing images. However, the traditional target recognition method has the characteristics of artificial design, and the generalization ability is not strong, which makes it difficult to meet the requirement of the current mass data. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new methods for feature extraction and target recognition and location in remote sensing images. Convolutional neural network in deep learning can extract representative and discriminative multi-level features of typical features from images, so it can be used for multi-target recognition of remote sensing big data in complex scenes. In this study, NWPU VHR-10 data was selected, 50% was used for training, and the remainder was used for verification. The target recognition effects of two kinds of convolutional neural network models, Faster R-CNN and SSD, were studied and compared, and the mean average precision (mAP) was used for evaluation. The evaluation results show that the Faster R-CNN has three categories with an accuracy of more than 80%, and the SSD has seven categories with an accuracy of more than 80%, all of which show good results. The SSD model is particularly prominent in running time and recognition results, which proves convolutional neural networks have broad application prospects in the target recognition of remote sensing image data.

What can remote sensing contribute to archaeological surveying in subarctic and arctic landscapes? The pros and cons of remote sensing data vary as do areas of utilization and methodological approaches. We assessed the applicability of remote sensing for archaeological surveying of northern landscapes using airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) and satellite and aerial images to map archaeological features as a basis for (a) assessing the pros and cons of the different approaches and (b) assessing the potential detection rate of remote sensing. Interpretation of images and a LiDAR-based bare-earth digital terrain model (DTM) was based on visual analyses aided by processing and visualizing techniques. 368 features were identified in the aerial images, 437 in the satellite images and 1186 in the DTM. LiDAR yielded the better result, especially for hunting pits. Image data proved suitable for dwellings and settlement sites. Feature characteristics proved a key factor for detectability, both in LiDAR and image data. This study has shown that LiDAR and remote sensing image data are highly applicable for archaeological surveying in northern landscapes. It showed that a multi-sensor approach contributes to high detection rates. Our results have improved the inventory of archaeological sites in a non-destructive and minimally invasive manner.

Fine-grained visual categorization (FGVC) is an important and challenging problem due to large intra-class differences and small inter-class differences caused by deformation, illumination, angles, etc. Although major advances have been achieved in natural images in the past few years due to the release of popular datasets such as the CUB-200-2011, Stanford Cars and Aircraft datasets, fine-grained ship classification in remote sensing images has been rarely studied because of relative scarcity of publicly available datasets. In this paper, we investigate a large amount of remote sensing image data of sea ships and determine most common 42 categories for fine-grained visual categorization. Based our previous DSCR dataset, a dataset for ship classification in remote sensing images, we collect more remote sensing images containing warships and civilian ships of various scales from Google Earth and other popular remote sensing image datasets including DOTA, HRSC2016, NWPU VHR-10, We call our dataset FGSCR-42, meaning a dataset for Fine-Grained Ship Classification in Remote sensing images with 42 categories. The whole dataset of FGSCR-42 contains 9320 images of most common types of ships. We evaluate popular object classification algorithms and fine-grained visual categorization algorithms to build a benchmark. Our FGSCR-42 dataset is publicly available at our webpages.
