Water area segmentation is an important branch of remote sensing image segmentation, but in reality, most water area images have complex and diverse backgrounds. Traditional detection methods cannot accurately identify small tributaries due to incomplete mining and insufficient utilization of semantic information, and the edge information of segmentation is rough. To solve the above problems, we propose a multi-scale feature aggregation network. In order to improve the ability of the network to process boundary information, we design a deep feature extraction module using a multi-scale pyramid to extract features, combined with the designed attention mechanism and strip convolution, extraction of multi-scale deep semantic information and enhancement of spatial and location information. Then, the multi-branch aggregation module is used to interact with different scale features to enhance the positioning information of the pixels. Finally, the two high-performance branches designed in the Feature Fusion Upsample module are used to deeply extract the semantic information of the image, and the deep information is fused with the shallow information generated by the multi-branch module to improve the ability of the network. Global and local features are used to determine the location distribution of each image category. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the segmentation method in this paper is better than that in the previous detection methods, and has important practical significance for the actual water area segmentation.

Scale Detection

In the wake of developments in remote sensing, the application of target detection of remote sensing is of increasing interest. Unfortunately, unlike natural image processing, remote sensing image processing involves dealing with large variations in object size, which poses a great challenge to researchers. Although traditional multi-scale detection networks have been successful in solving problems with such large variations, they still have certain limitations: (1) The traditional multi-scale detection methods note the scale of features but ignore the correlation between feature levels. Each feature map is represented by a single layer of the backbone network, and the extracted features are not comprehensive enough. For example, the SSD network uses the features extracted from the backbone network at different scales directly for detection, resulting in the loss of a large amount of contextual information. (2) These methods combine with inherent backbone classification networks to perform detection tasks. RetinaNet is just a combination of the ResNet-101 classification network and FPN network to perform the detection tasks; however, there are differences in object classification and detection tasks. To address these issues, a cross-scale feature fusion pyramid network (CF2PN) is proposed. First and foremost, a cross-scale fusion module (CSFM) is introduced to extract sufficiently comprehensive semantic information from features for performing multi-scale fusion. Moreover, a feature pyramid for target detection utilizing thinning U-shaped modules (TUMs) performs the multi-level fusion of the features. Eventually, a focal loss in the prediction section is used to control the large number of negative samples generated during the feature fusion process. The new architecture of the network proposed in this paper is verified by DIOR and RSOD dataset. The experimental results show that the performance of this method is improved by 2–12% in the DIOR dataset and RSOD dataset compared with the current SOTA target detection methods.

The semantic segmentation of small objects in point clouds is currently one of the most demanding tasks in photogrammetry and remote sensing applications. Multi-resolution feature extraction and fusion can significantly enhance the ability of object classification and segmentation, so it is widely used in the image field. For this motivation, we propose a point cloud semantic segmentation network based on multi-scale feature fusion (MSSCN) to aggregate the feature of a point cloud with different densities and improve the performance of semantic segmentation. In our method, random downsampling is first applied to obtain point clouds of different densities. A Spatial Aggregation Net (SAN) is then employed as the backbone network to extract local features from these point clouds, followed by concatenation of the extracted feature descriptors at different scales. Finally, a loss function is used to combine the different semantic information from point clouds of different densities for network optimization. Experiments were conducted on the S3DIS and ScanNet datasets, and our MSSCN achieved accuracies of 89.80% and 86.3%, respectively, on these datasets. Our method showed better performance than the recent methods PointNet, PointNet++, PointCNN, PointSIFT, and SAN.

Abstract Seismic detection technology has been widely used in safety detection of engineering construction abroad. Although it has just started in the field of engineering in our country, its role is becoming more and more important. Through computer technology, micro-seismic detection can provide accurate data for the construction safety detection of large-scale projects, which has important practical significance for the rapid and effective identification of micro-seismic signals. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to study the feature extraction and classification of microseismic signals based on neural games.

With the rapid advances in remote-sensing technologies and the larger number of satellite images, fast and effective object detection plays an important role in understanding and analyzing image information, which could be further applied to civilian and military fields. Recently object detection methods with region-based convolutional neural network have shown excellent performance. However, these two-stage methods contain region proposal generation and object detection procedures, resulting in low computation speed. Because of the expensive manual costs, the quantity of well-annotated aerial images is scarce, which also limits the progress of geospatial object detection in remote sensing. In this paper, on the one hand, we construct and release a large-scale remote-sensing dataset for geospatial object detection (RSD-GOD) that consists of 5 different categories with 18,187 annotated images and 40,990 instances. On the other hand, we design a single shot detection framework with multi-scale feature fusion. The feature maps from different layers are fused together through the up-sampling and concatenation blocks to predict the detection results. High-level features with semantic information and low-level features with fine details are fully explored for detection tasks, especially for small objects. Meanwhile, a soft non-maximum suppression strategy is put into practice to select the final detection results. Extensive experiments have been conducted on two datasets to evaluate the designed network. Results show that the proposed approach achieves a good detection performance and obtains the mean average precision value of 89.0% on a newly constructed RSD-GOD dataset and 83.8% on the Northwestern Polytechnical University very high spatial resolution-10 (NWPU VHR-10) dataset at 18 frames per second (FPS) on a NVIDIA GTX-1080Ti GPU.

Insulator detection is an essential task for the safety and reliable operation of intelligent grids. Owing to insulator images including various background interferences, most traditional image-processing methods cannot achieve good performance. Some You Only Look Once (YOLO) networks are employed to meet the requirements of actual applications for insulator detection. To achieve a good trade-off among accuracy, running time, and memory storage, this work proposes the modified YOLO-tiny for insulator (MTI-YOLO) network for insulator detection in complex aerial images. First of all, composite insulator images are collected in common scenes and the “CCIN_detection” (Chinese Composite INsulator) dataset is constructed. Secondly, to improve the detection accuracy of different sizes of insulator, multi-scale feature detection headers, a structure of multi-scale feature fusion, and the spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) model are adopted to the MTI-YOLO network. Finally, the proposed MTI-YOLO network and the compared networks are trained and tested on the “CCIN_detection” dataset. The average precision (AP) of our proposed network is 17% and 9% higher than YOLO-tiny and YOLO-v2. Compared with YOLO-tiny and YOLO-v2, the running time of the proposed network is slightly higher. Furthermore, the memory usage of the proposed network is 25.6% and 38.9% lower than YOLO-v2 and YOLO-v3, respectively. Experimental results and analysis validate that the proposed network achieves good performance in both complex backgrounds and bright illumination conditions.
