This paper proposes a fusion network for detecting changes between two high-resolution panchromatic images. The proposed fusion network consists of front- and back-end neural network architectures to generate dual outputs for change detection. Two networks for change detection were applied to handle image- and high-level changes of information, respectively. The fusion network employs single-path and dual-path networks to accomplish low-level and high-level differential detection, respectively. Based on two dual outputs, a two-stage decision algorithm was proposed to efficiently yield the final change detection results. The dual outputs were incorporated into the two-stage decision by operating logical operations. The proposed algorithm was designed to incorporate not only dual network outputs but also neighboring information. In this paper, a new fused loss function was presented to estimate the errors and optimize the proposed network during the learning stage. Based on our experimental evaluation, the proposed method yields a better detection performance than conventional neural network algorithms, with an average area under the curve of 0.9709, percentage correct classification of 99%, and Kappa of 75 for many test datasets.

This paper presents a robust change detection algorithm for high-resolution panchromatic imagery using a proposed dual-dense convolutional network (DCN). In this work, a joint structure of two deep convolutional networks with dense connectivity in convolution layers is designed in order to accomplish change detection for satellite images acquired at different times. The proposed network model detects pixel-wise temporal change based on local characteristics by incorporating information from neighboring pixels. Dense connection in convolution layers is designed to reuse preceding feature maps by connecting them to all subsequent layers. Dual networks are incorporated by measuring the dissimilarity of two temporal images. In the proposed algorithm for change detection, a contrastive loss function is used in a learning stage by running over multiple pairs of samples. According to our evaluation, we found that the proposed framework achieves better detection performance than conventional algorithms, in area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97, percentage correct classification (PCC) of 99%, and Kappa of 69, on average.

Software Defined Network (SDN) is a programmable network architecture that provides innovative solutions to the problems of the traditional networks. Congestion control is still an uncharted territory for this technology. In this work, a congestion prediction scheme has been developed by using neural networks. Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) feature selection algorithm was performed on the data collected from the OMNET++ simulation. The novelty of this study also covers the implementation of mRMR in an SDN congestion prediction problem. After evaluating the relevance scores, two highest ranking features were used. On the learning stage Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous Neural Network (NARX), Nonlinear Autoregressive Neural Network, and Nonlinear Feedforward Neural Network algorithms were executed. These algorithms had not been used before in SDNs according to the best of the authors knowledge. The experiments represented that NARX was the best prediction algorithm. This machine learning approach can be easily integrated to different topologies and application areas.

In this paper, a hybrid neural network (HNN) that combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) is proposed to extract the high-level characteristics of materials for critical temperature (Tc) prediction of superconductors. Firstly, by obtaining 73,452 inorganic compounds from the Materials Project (MP) database and building an atomic environment matrix, we obtained a vector representation (atomic vector) of 87 atoms by singular value decomposition (SVD) of the atomic environment matrix. Then, the obtained atom vector was used to implement the coded representation of the superconductors in the order of the atoms in the chemical formula of the superconductor. The experimental results of the HNN model trained with 12,413 superconductors were compared with three benchmark neural network algorithms and multiple machine learning algorithms using two commonly used material characterization methods. The experimental results show that the HNN method proposed in this paper can effectively extract the characteristic relationships between the atoms of superconductors, and it has high accuracy in predicting the Tc.

Being an important economic crop that contributes 35% of the total consumption of vegetable oil, remote sensing-based quantitative detection of oil palm trees has long been a key research direction for both agriculture and environmental purposes. While existing methods already demonstrate satisfactory effectiveness for small regions, performing the detection for a large region with satisfactory accuracy is still challenging. In this study, we proposed a two-stage convolutional neural network (TS-CNN)-based oil palm detection method using high-resolution satellite images (i.e. Quickbird) in a large-scale study area of Malaysia. The TS-CNN consists of one CNN for land cover classification and one CNN for object classification. The two CNNs were trained and optimized independently based on 20,000 samples collected through human interpretation. For the large-scale oil palm detection for an area of 55 km2, we proposed an effective workflow that consists of an overlapping partitioning method for large-scale image division, a multi-scale sliding window method for oil palm coordinate prediction, and a minimum distance filter method for post-processing. Our proposed approach achieves a much higher average F1-score of 94.99% in our study area compared with existing oil palm detection methods (87.95%, 81.80%, 80.61%, and 78.35% for single-stage CNN, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), respectively), and much fewer confusions with other vegetation and buildings in the whole image detection results.

Abstract. Change detection applications from satellite imagery can be a very useful tool in monitoring human activities and understanding their interaction with the physical environment. In the past few years most of the recent research approaches to automatic change detection have been based on the application of Deep Learning techniques and especially on variations of Convolutional Neural Network architectures due to their great representational capacity and their state-of-the-art performance in visual tasks such as image classification and semantic segmentation. In this work we train and evaluate two CNN architectures, UNet and UNet++, on a change detection task using Very High-Resolution satellite images collected at two different time epochs. We also examine and analyse the effect of two different loss functions, a combination of the Binary Cross Entropy Loss with the Dice Loss, and the Lovász Hinge loss, both of which were specifically designed for semantic segmentation applications. Finally, we experiment with the use of data augmentation as well as deep supervision techniques to evaluate and quantify their contribution in the final classification performance of the different network architectures.

Road extraction is one of the most significant tasks for modern transportation systems. This task is normally difficult due to complex backgrounds such as rural roads that have heterogeneous appearances with large intraclass and low interclass variations and urban roads that are covered by vehicles, pedestrians and the shadows of surrounding trees or buildings. In this paper, we propose a novel method for extracting roads from optical satellite images using a refined deep residual convolutional neural network (RDRCNN) with a postprocessing stage. RDRCNN consists of a residual connected unit (RCU) and a dilated perception unit (DPU). The RDRCNN structure is symmetric to generate the outputs of the same size. A math morphology and a tensor voting algorithm are used to improve RDRCNN performance during postprocessing. Experiments are conducted on two datasets of high-resolution images to demonstrate the performance of the proposed network architectures, and the results of the proposed architectures are compared with those of other network architectures. The results demonstrate the effective performance of the proposed method for extracting roads from a complex scene.

High-resolution remote sensing images usually contain complex semantic information and confusing targets, so their semantic segmentation is an important and challenging task. To resolve the problem of inadequate utilization of multilayer features by existing methods, a semantic segmentation method for remote sensing images based on convolutional neural network and mask generation is proposed. In this method, the boundary box is used as the initial foreground segmentation profile, and the edge information of the foreground object is obtained by using the multilayer feature of the convolutional neural network. In order to obtain the rough object segmentation mask, the general shape and position of the foreground object are estimated by using the high-level features in the process of layer-by-layer iteration. Then, based on the obtained rough mask, the mask is updated layer by layer using the neural network characteristics to obtain a more accurate mask. In order to solve the difficulty of deep neural network training and the problem of degeneration after convergence, a framework based on residual learning was adopted, which can simplify the training of those very deep networks and improve the accuracy of the network. For comparison with other advanced algorithms, the proposed algorithm was tested on the Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets. Experimental results show that, compared with other algorithms, the algorithm in this article can effectively improve the overall precision of semantic segmentation of high-resolution remote sensing images and shorten the overall training time and segmentation time.
