Sar Imagery

Marine ship detection by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important remote sensing technology. The rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence technology has facilitated the wide use of deep learning methods in SAR imagery for ship detection. Although deep learning can achieve a much better detection performance than traditional methods, it is difficult to achieve satisfying performance for small-sized ships nearshore due to the weak scattering caused by their material and simple structure. Another difficulty is that a huge amount of data needs to be manually labeled to obtain a reliable CNN model. Manual labeling each datum not only takes too much time but also requires a high degree of professional knowledge. In addition, the land and island with high backscattering often cause high false alarms for ship detection in the nearshore area. In this study, a novel method based on candidate target detection, boundary box optimization, and convolutional neural network (CNN) embedded with active learning strategy is proposed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of ship detection in nearshore areas. The candidate target detection results are obtained by global threshold segmentation. Then, the strategy of boundary box optimization is defined and applied to reduce the noise and false alarms caused by island and land targets as well as by sidelobe interference. Finally, a lightweight CNN embedded with active learning scheme is used to classify the ships using only a small labeled training set. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method for small-sized ship detection can achieve 97.78% accuracy and 0.96 F1-score with Sentinel-1 images in complex nearshore areas.

Sar Imagery

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery has been used as a promising data source for monitoring maritime activities, and its application for oil and ship detection has been the focus of many previous research studies. Many object detection methods ranging from traditional to deep learning approaches have been proposed. However, majority of them are computationally intensive and have accuracy problems. The huge volume of the remote sensing data also brings a challenge for real time object detection. To mitigate this problem a high performance computing (HPC) method has been proposed to accelerate SAR imagery analysis, utilizing the GPU based computing methods. In this paper, we propose an enhanced GPU based deep learning method to detect ship from the SAR images. The You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) deep learning framework is proposed to model the architecture and training the model. YOLOv2 is a state-of-the-art real-time object detection system, which outperforms Faster Region-Based Convolutional Network (Faster R-CNN) and Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) methods. Additionally, in order to reduce computational time with relatively competitive detection accuracy, we develop a new architecture with less number of layers called YOLOv2-reduced. In the experiment, we use two types of datasets: A SAR ship detection dataset (SSDD) dataset and a Diversified SAR Ship Detection Dataset (DSSDD). These two datasets were used for training and testing purposes. YOLOv2 test results showed an increase in accuracy of ship detection as well as a noticeable reduction in computational time compared to Faster R-CNN. From the experimental results, the proposed YOLOv2 architecture achieves an accuracy of 90.05% and 89.13% on the SSDD and DSSDD datasets respectively. The proposed YOLOv2-reduced architecture has a similarly competent detection performance as YOLOv2, but with less computational time on a NVIDIA TITAN X GPU. The experimental results shows that the deep learning can make a big leap forward in improving the performance of SAR image ship detection.

Ship detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is becoming a research hotspot. In recent years, as the rise of artificial intelligence, deep learning has almost dominated SAR ship detection community for its higher accuracy, faster speed, less human intervention, etc. However, today, there is still a lack of a reliable deep learning SAR ship detection dataset that can meet the practical migration application of ship detection in large-scene space-borne SAR images. Thus, to solve this problem, this paper releases a Large-Scale SAR Ship Detection Dataset-v1.0 (LS-SSDD-v1.0) from Sentinel-1, for small ship detection under large-scale backgrounds. LS-SSDD-v1.0 contains 15 large-scale SAR images whose ground truths are correctly labeled by SAR experts by drawing support from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Google Earth. To facilitate network training, the large-scale images are directly cut into 9000 sub-images without bells and whistles, providing convenience for subsequent detection result presentation in large-scale SAR images. Notably, LS-SSDD-v1.0 has five advantages: (1) large-scale backgrounds, (2) small ship detection, (3) abundant pure backgrounds, (4) fully automatic detection flow, and (5) numerous and standardized research baselines. Last but not least, combined with the advantage of abundant pure backgrounds, we also propose a Pure Background Hybrid Training mechanism (PBHT-mechanism) to suppress false alarms of land in large-scale SAR images. Experimental results of ablation study can verify the effectiveness of the PBHT-mechanism. LS-SSDD-v1.0 can inspire related scholars to make extensive research into SAR ship detection methods with engineering application value, which is conducive to the progress of SAR intelligent interpretation technology.

Deep Learning Model

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images show promising results in monitoring maritime activities. Recently, Deep learning-based object detection techniques have impressive results in most detection applications but unfortunately there are challenging problems such as difficulty of detecting multiple ships, especially inshore ones. In this paper, a three-step ship detection process is described and a reliable and sensitive hybrid deep learning model is proposed as an efficient classifier in the middle step. The proposed model combines the finetuned Inception-Resnet-V2 model and the Long Short Term Memory model in two different approaches: parallel approach and cascaded approach. In experiments, the region proposal algorithm and the Non-Maxima suppression algorithm are applied in the first and last step in the three-step detection process. The comparative results show that the proposed approach in cascaded form outperforms the competitive recent state-of-the-art approaches by enhancement up to 16.3%, 16.5%, and 18.9% in terms of recall, precision and mean average precision, respectively. Moreover, the proposed approach shows high relative sensitivity for challenged cases of both inshore and offshore scenes by enhancement ratios up to 81.88% and 24.58%, respectively in recall perspective.

Sar Imagery

With the launch of space-borne satellites, more synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are available than ever before, thus making dynamic ship monitoring possible. Object detectors in deep learning achieve top performance, benefitting from a free public dataset. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a large volume of labeled datasets, object detectors for SAR ship detection have developed slowly. To boost the development of object detectors in SAR images, a SAR dataset is constructed. This dataset labeled by SAR experts was created using 102 Chinese Gaofen-3 images and 108 Sentinel-1 images. It consists of 43,819 ship chips of 256 pixels in both range and azimuth. These ships mainly have distinct scales and backgrounds. Moreover, modified state-of-the-art object detectors from natural images are trained and can be used as baselines. Experimental results reveal that object detectors achieve higher mean average precision (mAP) on the test dataset and have high generalization performance on new SAR imagery without land-ocean segmentation, demonstrating the benefits of the dataset we constructed.

Target detection and segmentation algorithms have long been one of the main research directions in the field of computer vision, especially in the study of sea surface image understanding, these two tasks often need to consider the collaborative work at the same time, which is very high for the computing processor performance requirements. This article aims to study the deep learning sea target detection and segmentation algorithm. This paper uses wavelet transform-based filtering method for speckle noise suppression, deep learning-based method for land masking, and the target detection part uses an improved CFAR cascade algorithm. Finally, the best separable features are selected to eliminate false alarms. In order to further illustrate the feasibility of the scheme, this paper uses measured data and simulation data to verify the scheme and discusses the effect of different signal-to-noise ratio, sea target type, and attitude on the algorithm performance. The research data show that the deep learning sea target detection and segmentation algorithm has good detection performance and is generally applicable to ship target detection of different types and different attitudes. The results show that the deep learning sea target detection and segmentation algorithm fully takes into account the irregular shape and texture of the interfering target detected in the optical remote sensing image so that the accuracy rate is 32.7% higher and the efficiency is increased by about 1.3 times. The deep learning sea target detection is compared with segmentation algorithm, and it has strong target characterization ability and can be applied to ship targets of different scales.

Active Learning Strategy

In data-driven big data security analysis, knowledge graph-based multisource heterogeneous threat data organization, association mining, and inference analysis attach increasinginterest in the field of cybersecurity. Although the construction of knowledge graph based on deep learning has achieved great success, the construction of a largescale, high-quality, and domain-specific knowledge graph needs a manual annotation of large corpora, which means it is very difficult. To tackle this problem, we present a straightforward active learning strategy for cybersecurity entity recognition utilizing deep learning technology. BERT pre-trained model and residual dilation convolutional neural networks (RDCNN) are introduced to learn entity context features, and the conditional random field (CRF) layer is employed as a tag decoder. Then, taking advantages of the output results and distribution of cybersecurity entities, we propose an active learning strategy named TPCL that considers the uncertainty, confidence, and diversity. We evaluated TPCL on the general domain datasets and cybersecurity datasets, respectively. The experimental results show that TPCL performs better than the traditional strategies in terms of accuracy and F1. Moreover, compared with the general field, it has better performance in the cybersecurity field and is more suitable for the Chinese entity recognition task in this field.

For example, in the field of education, there is an artificial intelligence tutoring system that automatically assigns tutors based on student's level. In the field of economics, there are quantitative investment methods that automatically analyze large amounts of data to find investment laws to create investment models or predict changes in financial markets. As such, artificial intelligence technology is being used in various fields. So, it is very important to know exactly what factors have an important influence on each field of artificial intelligence technology and how the relationship between each field is connected. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze artificial intelligence technology in each field. In this paper, we analyze patent documents related to artificial intelligence technology. We propose a method for keyword analysis within factors using artificial intelligence patent data sets for artificial intelligence technology analysis. This is a model that relies on feature engineering based on deep learning model named KeyBERT, and using vector space model. A case study of collecting and analyzing artificial intelligence patent data was conducted to show how the proposed model can be applied to real-world problems.
