Target classification is an important part in automatic target recognition (ATR) systems. Deep learning methods get state of the art performance in SAR target classification. Simulation is a useful data augmentation method when the numbers of real samples for training is not sufficient. This article discusses how to release the full potential of simulated samples which is used to improve performance of SAR target classifier. The proposed method is based on cycle adversarial network (CycleGAN), which can transfer simulated samples to be more similar with real samples in image domain. Experiments show that adding simulated samples straightforward into training dataset is not helpful to improve the performance. However, adding the transferred simulated samples for training results in about 10% increase in accuracy in the designed SAR airplane classification experiment, compared with training without data augmentation.

Single image super-resolution (SR) has been widely studied in recent years as a crucial technique for remote sensing applications. This paper proposes a SR method for remote sensing images based on a transferred generative adversarial network (TGAN). Different from the previous GAN-based SR approaches, the novelty of our method mainly reflects from two aspects. First, the batch normalization layers are removed to reduce the memory consumption and the computational burden, as well as raising the accuracy. Second, our model is trained in a transfer-learning fashion to cope with the insufficiency of training data, which is the crux of applying deep learning methods to remote sensing applications. The model is firstly trained on an external dataset DIV2K and further fine-tuned with the remote sensing dataset. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to SRCNN and SRGAN in terms of both the objective evaluation and the subjective perspective.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) can be used to extract digital elevation model (DEM) with high accuracy. However, the side looking geometry of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) may cause geometric distortions such as shadow and layover in the mountainous terrain, which will reduce the quality of generated DEM. Fusion of two or more different aspects of InSAR data can deal with this problem. We propose an InSAR DEM reconstruction method based on backprojection (BP) algorithm in two converse flights. This method utilizes the feature of BP algorithm that geocoding has been realized in imaging process to simplify the fusion process of multi-aspect InSAR data. In addition, an iterative DEM extraction method is introduced to improve DEM accuracy. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Semantic information is important in video encryption. However, existing image quality assessment (IQA) methods, such as the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), are still widely applied to measure the encryption security. Generally, these traditional IQA methods aim to evaluate the image quality from the perspective of visual signal rather than semantic information. In this paper, we propose a novel semantic-level full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) method named Semantic Distortion Measurement (SDM) to measure the degree of semantic distortion for video encryption. Then, based on a semantic saliency dataset, we verify that the proposed SDM method outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms. Furthermore, we construct a Region Of Semantic Saliency (ROSS) video encryption system to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed SDM method in the practical application.

One key challenge to the learning-based image compression is that adaptive bit allocation is crucial for compression effectiveness but can hardly be trained into a neural network. Hereby, in this work, We presents an end-to-end trainable image compression framework, named Multi-scale Progressive Network (MPN) to achieve spatially variant bit allocation and rate control through the guidance of a novel learnable just noticeable distortion (JND) map. Specifically, MPN's encoder archives multi-scale feature representation through a three-branched structure. Each branch employs an independent feature extraction strategy for the specific receptive field and merge progressively under the guidance of corresponding learnable JND maps that generated by our proposed Bit-Allocation sub-Network (BAN), which make MPN focus on the areas where attract the human visual system (HVS) and preserve more texture of the image during the compression procedure. Finally, a hybrid objective function is introduced to further make MPN more efficient and mimic the discriminative characteristics of the human visual system (HVS). Experiments show that MPN significantly outperforms traditional JPEG, JPEG 2000 and few state-of-art learning-based methods by multi-scale structural similarity (MS-SSIM) index, and has the ability to produce the much better visual result with rich textures, sharp edges, and fewer artifacts.

Inspired by the progress of image and video super-resolution (SR) achieved by convolutional neural network (CNN), we propose a CNN-based residue SR method for video coding. Different from the previous works that operate in the pixel domain, i.e. down- and up-sampling of image or video frame, we propose to perform down- and up-sampling in the residue domain. Specifically, for each block, we perform motion estimation and compensation to achieve residual signal at the original resolution, then we down-sample the residue and compress it at low resolution, and perform residue SR using a trained CNN model. We design a new CNN for residue SR with the help of the motion compensated prediction signal. We integrate the residue SR method into the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) scheme, providing mode decision at the level of coding tree unit. Experimental results show that our method achieves on average 4.0% and 2.8% BD-rate reduction under low-delay P and low-delay B configurations, respectively.
In this paper, we propose a learned scalable/progressive image compression scheme based on deep neural networks (DNN), named Bidirectional Context Disentanglement Network (BCD-Net). For learning hierarchical represent...

Motion estimation and motion compensation are fundamental in video coding to remove the temporal redundancy between video frames. The current video coding schemes usually adopt block-based motion estimation and compensation using simple translational or affine motion models, which cannot efficiently characterize complex motions in natural video signal. In this paper, we propose a frame extrapolation method for motion estimation and compensation. Specifically, based on the several previous frames, our method directly extrapolates the current frame using a trained deep network model. The deep network we adopted is a redesigned Video Coding oriented LAplacian Pyramid of Generative Adversarial Networks (VC-LAPGAN). The extrapolated frame is then used as an additional reference frame. Experimental results show that the VC-LAPGAN is capable in estimating and compensating for complex motions, and extrapolating frames with high visual quality. Using the VC-LAPGAN, our method achieves on average 2.0% BD-rate reduction than High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) under low-delay P configuration.
