Image-to-image steganography is hiding one image in another image. However, hiding two secret images into one carrier image is a challenge today. The application of image steganography based on deep learning in real-life is relatively rare. In this paper, a new Steganography Convolution Neural Network (SteganoCNN) model is proposed, which solves the problem of two images embedded in a carrier image and can effectively reconstruct two secret images. SteganoCNN has two modules, an encoding network, and a decoding network, whereas the decoding network includes two extraction networks. First, the entire network is trained end-to-end, the encoding network automatically embeds the secret image into the carrier image, and the decoding network is used to reconstruct two different secret images. The experimental results show that the proposed steganography scheme has a maximum image payload capacity of 47.92 bits per pixel, and at the same time, it can effectively avoid the detection of steganalysis tools while keeping the stego-image undistorted. Meanwhile, StegaoCNN has good generalization capabilities and can realize the steganography of different data types, such as remote sensing images and aerial images.

Authentic Data

A technique to hide undisclosed information from third party as well, the method of investigation to conceal secret data into the cover frame like text, audio, image and video without any change in substantial results to the carrier image is nothing but Steganography. The contemporary safe and taut steganography of image represents an exigent form of transformation of the inserted secrecy for the receiver with getting undetected [1-5]. In Image steganography, image is the carrier and any secret message (audio or text or image) can be transmitted. This algorithm of LSB can be executed in embedding territory where the secret audio data is inserted into the LSB of envelope image for creating the stego image. This paper gives the hiding of audio data as secret data in an image file using LSB with secret key and an improved inverted LSB image Steganography with improved mean square error and peak signal to noise ratio.

Landslide recognition is widely used in natural disaster risk management. Traditional landslide recognition is mainly conducted by geologists, which is accurate but inefficient. This article introduces multiple instance learning (MIL) to perform automatic landslide recognition. An end-to-end deep convolutional neural network is proposed, referred to as Multiple Instance Learning–based Landslide classification (MILL). First, MILL uses a large-scale remote sensing image classification dataset to build pre-train networks for landslide feature extraction. Second, MILL extracts instances and assign instance labels without pixel-level annotations. Third, MILL uses a new channel attention–based MIL pooling function to map instance-level labels to bag-level label. We apply MIL to detect landslides in a loess area. Experimental results demonstrate that MILL is effective in identifying landslides in remote sensing images.

Remote Sensing Image Classification

Deep learning is an important research method in the remote sensing field. However, samples of remote sensing images are relatively few in real life, and those with markers are scarce. Many neural networks represented by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can learn from real samples to generate pseudosamples, rather than traditional methods that often require more time and man-power to obtain samples. However, the generated pseudosamples often have poor realism and cannot be reliably used as the basis for various analyses and applications in the field of remote sensing. To address the abovementioned problems, a pseudolabeled sample generation method is proposed in this work and applied to scene classification of remote sensing images. The improved unconditional generative model that can be learned from a single natural image (Improved SinGAN) with an attention mechanism can effectively generate enough pseudolabeled samples from a single remote sensing scene image sample. Pseudosamples generated by the improved SinGAN model have stronger realism and relatively less training time, and the extracted features are easily recognized in the classification network. The improved SinGAN can better identify sub-jects from images with complex ground scenes compared with the original network. This mechanism solves the problem of geographic errors of generated pseudosamples. This study incorporated the generated pseudosamples into training data for the classification experiment. The result showed that the SinGAN model with the integration of the attention mechanism can better guarantee feature extraction of the training data. Thus, the quality of the generated samples is improved and the classification accuracy and stability of the classification network are also enhanced.

This study aimed to propose an approach for orchard trees segmentation using aerial images based on a deep learning convolutional neural network variant, namely the U-net network. The purpose was the automated detection and localization of the canopy of orchard trees under various conditions (i.e., different seasons, different tree ages, different levels of weed coverage). The implemented dataset was composed of images from three different walnut orchards. The achieved variability of the dataset resulted in obtaining images that fell under seven different use cases. The best-trained model achieved 91%, 90%, and 87% accuracy for training, validation, and testing, respectively. The trained model was also tested on never-before-seen orthomosaic images or orchards based on two methods (oversampling and undersampling) in order to tackle issues with out-of-the-field boundary transparent pixels from the image. Even though the training dataset did not contain orthomosaic images, it achieved performance levels that reached up to 99%, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed approach.

AbstractIn recent years, the success of deep learning in natural scene image processing boosted its application in the analysis of remote sensing images. In this paper, we applied Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. We improve the Encoder- Decoder CNN structure SegNet with index pooling and U-net to make them suitable for multi-targets semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. The results show that these two models have their own advantages and disadvantages on the segmentation of different objects. In addition, we propose an integrated algorithm that integrates these two models. Experimental results show that the presented integrated algorithm can exploite the advantages of both the models for multi-target segmentation and achieve a better segmentation compared to these two models.

Physically Demanding Work

A sensor-based system using inertial magnetic measurement units and surface electromyography is suitable for objectively and automatically monitoring the lumbar load during physically demanding work. The validity and usability of this system in the uncontrolled real-life working environment of physically active workers are still unknown. The objective of this study was to test the discriminant validity of an artificial neural network-based method for load assessment during actual work. Nine physically active workers performed work-related tasks while wearing the sensor system. The main measure representing lumbar load was the net moment around the L5/S1 intervertebral body, estimated using a method that was based on artificial neural network and perceived workload. The mean differences (MDs) were tested using a paired t-test. During heavy tasks, the net moment (MD = 64.3 ± 13.5%, p = 0.028) and the perceived workload (MD = 5.1 ± 2.1, p < 0.001) observed were significantly higher than during the light tasks. The lumbar load had significantly higher variances during the dynamic tasks (MD = 33.5 ± 36.8%, p = 0.026) and the perceived workload was significantly higher (MD = 2.2 ± 1.5, p = 0.002) than during static tasks. It was concluded that the validity of this sensor-based system was supported because the differences in the lumbar load were consistent with the perceived intensity levels and character of the work tasks.
