As the fastest growing trend in big data analysis, deep learning technology has proven to be both an unprecedented breakthrough and a powerful tool in many fields, particularly for image segmentation tasks. Nevertheless, most achievements depend on high-quality pre-labeled training samples, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, different from conventional natural images, coastal remote sensing ones generally carry far more complicated and considerable land cover information, making it difficult to produce pre-labeled references for supervised image segmentation. In our research, motivated by this observation, we take an in-depth investigation on the utilization of neural networks for unsupervised learning and propose a novel method, namely conditional co-training (CCT), specifically for truly unsupervised remote sensing image segmentation in coastal areas. In our idea, a multi-model framework consisting of two parallel data streams, which are superpixel-based over-segmentation and pixel-level semantic segmentation, is proposed to simultaneously perform the pixel-level classification. The former processes the input image into multiple over-segments, providing self-constrained guidance for model training. Meanwhile, with this guidance, the latter continuously processes the input image into multi-channel response maps until the model converges. Incentivized by multiple conditional constraints, our framework learns to extract high-level semantic knowledge and produce full-resolution segmentation maps without pre-labeled ground truths. Compared to the black-box solutions in conventional supervised learning manners, this method is of stronger explainability and transparency for its specific architecture and mechanism. The experimental results on two representative real-world coastal remote sensing datasets of image segmentation and the comparison with other state-of-the-art truly unsupervised methods validate the plausible performance and excellent efficiency of our proposed CCT.

With the rapid development of sensor technology, lots of remote sensing data have been collected. It effectively obtains good semantic segmentation performance by extracting feature maps based on multi-modal remote sensing images since extra modal data provides more information. How to make full use of multi-model remote sensing data for semantic segmentation is challenging. Toward this end, we propose a new network called Multi-Stage Fusion and Multi-Source Attention Network ((MS) 2 -Net) for multi-modal remote sensing data segmentation. The multi-stage fusion module fuses complementary information after calibrating the deviation information by filtering the noise from the multi-modal data. Besides, similar feature points are aggregated by the proposed multi-source attention for enhancing the discriminability of features with different modalities. The proposed model is evaluated on publicly available multi-modal remote sensing data sets, and results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract The paucity of long-term observations, particularly in regions with heterogeneous climate and land cover, can hinder incorporating climate data at appropriate spatial scales for decision-making and scientific research. Numerous gridded climate, weather, and remote sensing products have been developed to address the needs of both land managers and scientists, in turn enhancing scientific knowledge and strengthening early-warning systems. However, these data remain largely inaccessible for a broader segment of users given the computational demands of big data. Climate Engine (http://ClimateEngine.org) is a web-based application that overcomes many computational barriers that users face by employing Google’s parallel cloud-computing platform, Google Earth Engine, to process, visualize, download, and share climate and remote sensing datasets in real time. The software application development and design of Climate Engine is briefly outlined to illustrate the potential for high-performance processing of big data using cloud computing. Second, several examples are presented to highlight a range of climate research and applications related to drought, fire, ecology, and agriculture that can be rapidly generated using Climate Engine. The ability to access climate and remote sensing data archives with on-demand parallel cloud computing has created vast opportunities for advanced natural resource monitoring and process understanding.

Abstract. As a kind of information carrier which is high capacity, remarkable reliability, easy to obtain and the other features,remote sensing image data is widely used in the fields of natural resources survey, monitoring, planning, disaster prevention and the others (Huang, Jie, et al, 2008). Considering about the daily application scenario for the remote sensing image in professional departments, the demand of usage and management of remote sensing big data is about to be analysed in this paper.In this paper, by combining professional department scenario, the application of remote sensing image analysis of remote sensing data in the use and management of professional department requirements, on the premise of respect the habits, is put forward to remote sensing image metadata standard for reference index, based on remote sensing image files and database management system, large data serialization of time management methods, the method to the realization of the design the metadata standard products, as well as to the standard of metadata content indexed storage of massive remote sensing image database management.

With the rapid development of satellite remote sensing technology, the volume of image datasets in many application areas is growing exponentially and the demand for Land-Cover and Land-Use change remote sensing data is growing rapidly. It is thus becoming hard to efficiently and intelligently retrieve the change information that users need from massive image databases. In this paper, content-based image retrieval is successfully applied to change detection and a content-based remote sensing image change information retrieval model is introduced. First, the construction of a new model framework for change information retrieval in a remote sensing database is described. Then, as the target content cannot be expressed by one kind of feature alone, a multiple-feature integrated retrieval model is proposed. Thirdly, an experimental prototype system that was set up to demonstrate the validity and practicability of the model is described. The proposed model is a new method of acquiring change detection information from remote sensing imagery and so can reduce the need for image pre-processing, deal with problems related toseasonal changes as well as other problems encountered in the field of change detection. Meanwhile, the new model has important implications for improving remote sensing image management and autonomous information retrieval.
