Under complex sea conditions, ship detection from remote sensing images is easily affected by sea clutter, thin clouds, and islands, resulting in unreliable detection results. In this paper, an end-to-end convolution neural network method is introduced that combines a deep convolution neural network with a fully connected conditional random field. Based on the Resnet architecture, the remote sensing image is roughly segmented using a deep convolution neural network as the input. Using the Gaussian pairwise potential method and mean field approximation theorem, a conditional random field is established as the output of the recurrent neural network, thus achieving end-to-end connection. We compared the proposed method with other state-of-the-art methods on the dataset established by Google Earth and NWPU-RESISC45. Experiments show that the target detection accuracy of the proposed method and the ability of capturing fine details of images are improved. The mean intersection over union is 83.2% compared with other models, which indicates obvious advantages. The proposed method is fast enough to meet the needs for ship detection in remote sensing images.

In remote-sensing images, a detected oil-spill area is usually affected by spot noise and uneven intensity, which leads to poor segmentation of the oil-spill area. This paper introduced a deep semantic segmentation method that combined a deep-convolution neural network with the fully connected conditional random field to form an end-to-end connection. On the basis of Resnet, it first roughly segmented a multisource remote-sensing image as input by the deep convolutional neural network. Then, we used the Gaussian pairwise method and mean-field approximation. The conditional random field was established as the output of the recurrent neural network. The oil-spill area on the sea surface was monitored by the multisource remote-sensing image and was estimated by optical image. We experimentally compared the proposed method with other models on the dataset established by the multisensory satellite image. Results showed that the method improved classification accuracy and captured fine details of the oil-spill area. The mean intersection over the union was 82.1%, and the monitoring effect was obviously improved.

At present, reliable and precise ship detection in high-resolution optical remote sensing images affected by wave clutter, thin clouds, and islands under complex sea conditions is still challenging. At the same time, object detection algorithms in satellite remote sensing images are challenged by color, aspect ratio, complex background, and angle variability. Even the results obtained based on the latest convolutional neural network (CNN) method are not satisfactory. In order to obtain more accurate ship detection results, this paper proposes a remote sensing image ship object detection method based on a brainlike visual attention mechanism. We refer to the robust expression mode of the human brain, design a vector field filter with active rotation capability, and explicitly encode the direction information of the remote sensing object in the neural network. The progressive enhancement learning model guided by the visual attention mechanism is used to dynamically solve the problem, and the object can be discovered and detected through time–space information. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a remote sensing ship object detection data set is established, and the proposed method is compared with other state-of-the-art methods on the established data set. Experiments show that the object detection accuracy of this method and the ability to capture image details have been improved. Compared with other models, the average intersection rate of the joint is 80.12%, which shows a clear advantage. The proposed method is fast enough to meet the needs of ship detection in remote sensing images.

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.
