Object detection has been playing a significant role in the field of remote sensing for a long time but it is still full of challenges. In this paper, we propose a novel detection framework based on rotational region convolution neural network to cope with the problem of non-maximum suppression in dense objects detection. The bounding boxes obtained by adopting our method is the minimum bounding rectangle of object with less redundant regions. Furthermore, we find the head direction of the object through prediction. There are three important changes to our framework over traditional detection methods, representation and regression of rotational bounding box, head direction prediction and rotational non-maximal suppression. Experiments based on remote sensing images from Google Earth for Object detection show that our detection method based on rotational region CNN has a competitive performance.

Single image super-resolution is an effective way to enhance the spatial resolution of remote sensing image, which is crucial for many applications such as target detection and image classification. However, existing methods based on the neural network usually have small receptive fields and ignore the image detail. We propose a novel method named deep memory connected network (DMCN) based on a convolutional neural network to reconstruct high-quality super-resolution images. We build local and global memory connections to combine image detail with environmental information. To further reduce parameters and ease time-consuming, we propose down-sampling units, shrinking the spatial size of feature maps. We test DMCN on three remote sensing datasets with different spatial resolution. Experimental results indicate that our method yields promising improvements in both accuracy and visual performance over the current state-of-the-art.

Circular synthetic aperture radar (CSAR) can provide distinctive multi-aspect anisotropic scattering signatures. However, it is impossible to retain the anisotropic signatures in a SAR image that combines all the subapertures coherently or incoherently. In this letter, we propose a polarimetric CSAR anisotropic scattering detection framework to characterize multi-aspect and fully polarimetric SAR signatures of point-like and distributed targets. We applied this framework to quantify and rank media polarimetric scattering dissimilarity over all aspects and to determine whether the most different one shows anisotropy by use of constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection. Furthermore, we demonstrated the monotonicity of CFAR detection function and incorporated this function to decrease the complexity of the anisotropic scattering test. Our algorithm was validated and applied to a set of airborne P-band fully polarimetric circular SAR data acquired by the Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Science (IECAS). The results indicate the framework can retain anisotropic scattering and extract a series of new multi-aspect polarimetric SAR signatures for terrain classification.

Through the recent performance of convolutional neural networks in image processing tasks, we propose a deep fully convolutional network for remote sensing image inpainting. The proposed Dense-Add Net (Dense-Add Network) can alleviate the vanishing-gradient problem, strengthen feature reuse, and substantially reduce the memory usage. We apply residual learning to learn the mappings from corrupted image to recovered image directly;it will back-propagate gradient to the bottom layers and accelerate the training process. We train the proposed Dense-Add Net with a robust Charbonnier loss function which can achieve high-quality reconstruction. The experimental verify the efficacy of our proposed Dense-Add Net.

Road extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images has been applied in many domains, but it is still full of challenges. We focus on the problem of slender roads, proposing a new multiple feature pyramid network (MFPN), which is composed of an effective feature pyramid and the tailored pyramid pooling module based on PSPNet. These two designs can address the sparsity of roads in remote sensing images via using multi-level semantic features. Experiments on remote sensing images from Quick Bird show that our MFPN model achieves competitive performance, especially for slender roads.

For chroma intra prediction, previous methods exemplified by the Linear Model method (LM) usually assume a linear correlation between the luma and chroma components in a coding block. This assumption is inaccurate for complex image content or large blocks, and restricts the prediction accuracy. In this paper, we propose a chroma intra prediction method by exploiting both spatial and cross-channel correlations using a hybrid neural network. Specifically, we utilize a convolutional neural network to extract features from the reconstructed luma samples of the current block, as well as utilize a fully connected network to extract features from the neighboring reconstructed luma and chroma samples. The extracted twofold features are then fused to predict the chroma samples-Cb and Cr simultaneously. The proposed chroma intra prediction method is integrated into HEVC. Preliminary results show that, compared with HEVC plus LM, the proposed method achieves on average 0.2%, 3.1% and 2.0% BD-rate reduction on Y, Cb and Cr components, respectively, under All-Intra configuration.

Deeper architectures are proven to be beneficial for the classification performance obviously in computer vision field. Inspired by this, deep CNNs are expected to make progress in the SAR target classification problem as well. However, it is hard to train deeper CNNs for SAR images. Such CNNs have millions of parameters to be determined in the network (for example the VGGNet has more than 130 million parameters), hence large-scale dataset is indispensable when training a deep CNN. But there is no large-scale annotated SAR target dataset, and data acquisition and annotation is much more costly for SAR images. With inadequate data, the network is easy to be overfitting. Several methods based on deep learning have been proposed for SAR image classifications, but they cannot get rid of the aforementioned data limitation of labelled SAR images. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a microarchitecture called CompressUnit (CU). With CU, we design a deeper CNN. Compared with the network with the fewest parameters for SAR image classification in literature so far, our network is 2X deeper with only about 10% of parameters. In this way, we get a deeper network with much fewer parameters. This network is easier to be trained with limited SAR data and is more likely to get rid of overfitting.
