The explicit solution of the traditional ROF model in image denoising has the disadvantages of unstable results and requiring many iterations. To solve the problem, a new method, ROF model semi-implicit denoising, is proposed in this paper and applied to change detections of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. All remote sensing images used in this article have been calibrated by ENVI software. First, the ROF model semi-implicit denoising method is used to denoise the remote sensing images. Second, for the denoised images, difference images are obtained by the logarithmic ratio and mean ratio methods. The final difference image is obtained by principal component analysis fusion (PCA fusion) of the two difference images. Finally, the final difference image is clustered by fuzzy local information C-means clustering (FLICM) to obtain the change regions. The research results show that the proposed method has high detection accuracy and time operation efficiency.

Difference Images

Change detection (CD) using Remote sensing images have been a challenging problem over the years. Particularly in the unsupervised domain it is even more difficult. A novel automatic change detection technique in the unsupervised framework is proposed to address the real challenges involved in remote sensing change detection. As the accuracy of change map is highly dependent on quality of difference image (DI), a set of Normalized difference images and a complementary set of Normalized Ratio images are fused in the Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain to generate high quality difference images. The NSCT is chosen as it is efficient in suppressing noise by utilizing its unique characteristics such as multidirectionality and shift-invariance that are suitable for change detection. The low frequency sub bands are fused by averaging to combine the complementary information in the two DIs, and, the higher frequency sub bands are merged by minimum energy rule, for preserving the edges and salient features in the image. By employing a novel Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with Leader Intelligence (LIPSO), change maps are generated from fused sub bands in two different ways: (i) single spectral band, and (ii) combination of spectral bands. In LIPSO, the concept of leader and followers has been modified with intelligent particles performing Lévy flight randomly for better exploration, to achieve global optima. The proposed method achieved an overall accuracy of 99.64%, 98.49% and 97.66% on the three datasets considered, which is very high. The results have been compared with relevant algorithms. The quantitative metrics demonstrate the superiority of the proposed techniques over the other methods and are found to be statistically significant with McNemar’s test. Visual quality of the results also corroborate the superiority of the proposed method.

AbstractIn order to monitor the high-level landslides frequently occurring in Jinsha River area of Southwest China, and protect the lives and property safety of people in mountainous areas, the data of satellite remote sensing images are combined with various factors inducing landslides and transformed into landslide influence factors, which provides data basis for the establishment of landslide detection model. Then, based on the deep belief networks (DBN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, two landslide detection models DBN and convolutional neural-deep belief network (CDN) are established to monitor the high-level landslide in Jinsha River. The influence of the model parameters on the landslide detection results is analyzed, and the accuracy of DBN and CDN models in dealing with actual landslide problems is compared. The results show that when the number of neurons in the DBN is 100, the overall error is the minimum, and when the number of learning layers is 3, the classification error is the minimum. The detection accuracy of DBN and CDN is 97.56% and 97.63%, respectively, which indicates that both DBN and CDN models are feasible in dealing with landslides from remote sensing images. This exploration provides a reference for the study of high-level landslide disasters in Jinsha River.

Occlusion Removal

AbstractOcclusion removal is a significant problem to be resolved in a remote traffic control system to enhance road safety. However, the conventional techniques do not recognize traffic signs well due to the vehicles are occluded. Besides occlusion removal was not performed in existing techniques with a less amount of time. In order to overcome such limitations, Non-linear Gaussian Bilateral Filtered Sorenson–Dice Exemplar Image Inpainting Based Bayes Conditional Probability (NGBFSEII-BCP) Method is proposed. Initially, a number of remote sensing images are taken as input from Highway Traffic Dataset. Then, the NGBFSEII-BCP method applies the Non-Linear Gaussian Bilateral Filtering (NGBF) algorithm for removing the noise pixels in input images. After preprocessing, the NGBFSEII-BCP method is used to remove the occlusion in the input images. Finally, NGBFSEII-BCP Method applies Bayes conditional probability to find operation status and thereby gets higher road safety using remote sensing images. The technique conducts the simulation evaluation using metrics such as peak signal to noise ratio, computational time, and detection accuracy. The simulation result illustrates that the NGBFSEII-BCP Method increases the detection accuracy by 20% and reduces the computation time by 32% as compared to state-of-the-art works.

In this paper, a novel change detection approach based on multi-grained cascade forest(gcForest) and multi-scale fusion for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed. It detectsthe changed and unchanged areas of the images by using the well-trained gcForest. Most existingchange detection methods need to select the appropriate size of the image block. However, thesingle size image block only provides a part of the local information, and gcForest cannot achieve agood effect on the image representation learning ability. Therefore, the proposed approach choosesdifferent sizes of image blocks as the input of gcForest, which can learn more image characteristicsand reduce the influence of the local information of the image on the classification result as well.In addition, in order to improve the detection accuracy of those pixels whose gray value changesabruptly, the proposed approach combines gradient information of the difference image with theprobability map obtained from the well-trained gcForest. Therefore, the image edge information canbe enhanced and the accuracy of edge detection can be improved by extracting the image gradientinformation. Experiments on four data sets indicate that the proposed approach outperforms otherstate-of-the-art algorithms.

The efficient and accurate application of deep learning in the remote sensing field largely depends on the pre-processing technology of remote sensing images. Particularly, image fusion is the essential way to achieve the complementarity of the panchromatic band and multispectral bands in high spatial resolution remote sensing images. In this paper, we not only pay attention to the visual effect of fused images, but also focus on the subsequent application effectiveness of information extraction and feature recognition based on fused images. Based on the WorldView-3 images of Tongzhou District of Beijing, we apply the fusion results to conduct the experiments of object recognition of typical urban features based on deep learning. Furthermore, we perform a quantitative analysis for the existing pixel-based mainstream fusion methods of IHS (Intensity-Hue Saturation), PCS (Principal Component Substitution), GS (Gram Schmidt), ELS (Ehlers), HPF (High-Pass Filtering), and HCS (Hyper spherical Color Space) from the perspectives of spectrum, geometric features, and recognition accuracy. The results show that there are apparent differences in visual effect and quantitative index among different fusion methods, and the PCS fusion method has the most satisfying comprehensive effectiveness in the object recognition of land cover (features) based on deep learning.

In order to improve the change detection accuracy of multitemporal high spatial resolution remote-sensing (HSRRS) images, a change detection method of multitemporal remote-sensing images based on saliency detection and spatial intuitionistic fuzzy C-means (SIFCM) clustering is proposed. Firstly, the cluster-based saliency cue method is used to obtain the saliency maps of two temporal remote-sensing images; then, the saliency difference is obtained by subtracting the saliency maps of two temporal remote-sensing images; finally, the SIFCM clustering algorithm is used to classify the saliency difference image to obtain the change regions and unchange regions. Two data sets of multitemporal high spatial resolution remote-sensing images are selected as the experimental data. The detection accuracy of the proposed method is 96.17% and 97.89%. The results show that the proposed method is a feasible and better performance multitemporal remote-sensing image change detection method.

Ship Detection

Intelligent detection and recognition of ships from high-resolution remote sensing images is an extraordinarily useful task in civil and military reconnaissance. It is difficult to detect ships with high precision because various disturbances are present in the sea such as clouds, mist, islands, coastlines, ripples, and so on. To solve this problem, we propose a novel ship detection network based on multi-layer convolutional feature fusion (CFF-SDN). Our ship detection network consists of three parts. Firstly, the convolutional feature extraction network is used to extract ship features of different levels. Residual connection is introduced so that the model can be designed very deeply, and it is easy to train and converge. Secondly, the proposed network fuses fine-grained features from shallow layers with semantic features from deep layers, which is beneficial for detecting ship targets with different sizes. At the same time, it is helpful to improve the localization accuracy and detection accuracy of small objects. Finally, multiple fused feature maps are used for classification and regression, which can adapt to ships of multiple scales. Since the CFF-SDN model uses a pruning strategy, the detection speed is greatly improved. In the experiment, we create a dataset for ship detection in remote sensing images (DSDR), including actual satellite images from Google Earth and aerial images from electro-optical pod. The DSDR dataset contains not only visible light images, but also infrared images. To improve the robustness to various sea scenes, images under different scales, perspectives and illumination are obtained through data augmentation or affine transformation methods. To reduce the influence of atmospheric absorption and scattering, a dark channel prior is adopted to solve atmospheric correction on the sea scenes. Moreover, soft non-maximum suppression (NMS) is introduced to increase the recall rate for densely arranged ships. In addition, better detection performance is observed in comparison with the existing models in terms of precision rate and recall rate. The experimental results show that the proposed detection model can achieve the superior performance of ship detection in optical remote sensing image.

Filter is a well-known tool for noise reduction of very high spatial resolution (VHR) remote sensing images. However, a single-scale filter usually demonstrates limitations in covering various targets with different sizes and shapes in a given image scene. A novel method called multi-scale filter profile (MFP)-based framework (MFPF) is introduced in this study to improve the classification performance of a remote sensing image of VHR and address the aforementioned problem. First, an adaptive filter is extended with a series of parameters for MFP construction. Then, a layer-stacking technique is used to concatenate the MPFs and all the features into a stacked vector. Afterward, principal component analysis, a classical descending dimension algorithm, is performed on the fused profiles to reduce the redundancy of the stacked vector. Finally, the spatial adaptive region of each filter in the MFPs is used for post-processing of the obtained initial classification map through a supervised classifier. This process aims to revise the initial classification map and generate a final classification map. Experimental results performed on the three real VHR remote sensing images demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MFPF in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods. Hard-tuning parameters are unnecessary in the application of the proposed approach. Thus, such a method can be conveniently applied in real applications.
