<p>Starting from 2021, Surface  Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite altimetry mission will provide an unprecedented amount of Sea Surface Height (SSH) measurements. In addition to allowing for a higher spatial resolution, SWOT will deliver two-dimensional horizontal SSH data thanks to its wide swath capacities, which is a remarkable leap compared to conventional current altimeters.</p><p>With the aim of extracting a clean SSH signal from the SWOT measurements, several challenges are expected to be encountered. In this work, we focus on filtering the footprints of Internal Gravity Waves (IGWs), this is of high interest for physical oceanographers who seek to better understand mesoscale and submesoscale ocean physics.</p><p>Thanks to recent developments in ocean numerical simulation, we can now have access to a considerable amount of simulation data with exceptional high spatial resolutions up to 1/60° and hourly temporal resolution. Here, we benefit from an advanced North Atlantic simulation of the ocean circulation (eNATL60) that models tidal motions, and design a supervised machine learning experiment that aims to test several techniques for filtering IGWs.</p><p>In particular, we show that deep convolutional neural networks are a relevant candidates for this task and presents promising results with regard to conventional linear filtering techniques. We also show how our method can be adapted to the context of the fast-sampling phase of SWOT, and can also take advantage from the presence of additional data such as Sea Surface Temperature.</p>

Classification of degraded images is very important in practice because images are usually degraded by compression, noise, blurring, etc. Nevertheless, most of the research in image classification only focuses on clean images without any degradation. Some papers have already proposed deep convolutional neural networks composed of an image restoration network and a classification network to classify degraded images. This paper proposes an alternative approach in which we use a degraded image and an additional degradation parameter for classification. The proposed classification network has two inputs which are the degraded image and the degradation parameter. The estimation network of degradation parameters is also incorporated if degradation parameters of degraded images are unknown. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms a straightforward approach where the classification network is trained with degraded images only.

In this paper, an accurate two-stage deep learning method is proposed to detect vulnerable plaques in ultrasonic images of cardiovascular. Firstly, a Fully Convonutional Neural Network (FCN) named U-Net is used to segment the original Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) cardiovascular images. We experiment on different threshold values to find the best threshold for removing noise and background in the original images. Secondly, a modified Faster RCNN is adopted to do precise detection. The modified Faster R-CNN utilize six-scale anchors (122,162,322,642,1282,2562) instead of the conventional one scale or three scale approaches. First, we present three problems in cardiovascular vulnerable plaque diagnosis, then we demonstrate how our method solve these problems. The proposed method in this paper apply deep convolutional neural networks to the whole diagnostic procedure. Test results show the Recall rate, Precision rate, IoU (Intersection-over-Union) rate and Total score are 0.94, 0.885, 0.913 and 0.913 respectively, higher than the 1st team of CCCV2017 Cardiovascular OCT Vulnerable Plaque Detection Challenge. AP of the designed Faster RCNN is 83.4%, higher than conventional approaches which use one-scale or three-scale anchors. These results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method and the power of deep learning approaches in diagnose cardiovascular vulnerable plaques.

Space-borne satellite radiometers measure Sea Surface Temperature (SST), which is pivotal to studies of air-sea interactions and ocean features. Under clear sky conditions, high resolution measurements are obtainable. But under cloudy conditions, data analysis is constrained to the available low resolution measurements. We assess the efficiency of Deep Learning (DL) architectures, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to downscale oceanographic data from low spatial resolution (SR) to high SR. With a focus on SST Fields of Bay of Bengal, this study proves that Very Deep Super Resolution CNN can successfully reconstruct SST observations from 15 km SR to 5km SR, and 5km SR to 1km SR. This outcome calls attention to the significance of DL models explicitly trained for the reconstruction of high SR SST fields by using low SR data. Inference on DL models can act as a substitute to the existing computationally expensive downscaling technique: Dynamical Downsampling. The complete code is available on this Github Repository.
