Learning a Dilated Residual Network for SAR Image Despeckling
In this paper, to break the limit of the traditional linear models for
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image despeckling, we propose a novel deep
learning approach by learning a non-linear end-to-end mapping between the noisy
and clean SAR images with a dilated residual network (SAR-DRN). SAR-DRN is
based on dilated convolutions, which can both enlarge the receptive field and
maintain the filter size and layer depth with a lightweight structure. In
addition, skip connections and residual learning strategy are added to the
despeckling model to maintain the image details and reduce the vanishing
gradient problem. Compared with the traditional despeckling methods, the
proposed method shows superior performance over the state-of-the-art methods on
both quantitative and visual assessments, especially for strong speckle noise.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures, 7 table
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Meets Deep Learning
This reprint focuses on the application of the combination of synthetic aperture radars and depth learning technology. It aims to further promote the development of SAR image intelligent interpretation technology. A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important active microwave imaging sensor, whose all-day and all-weather working capacity give it an important place in the remote sensing community. Since the United States launched the first SAR satellite, SAR has received much attention in the remote sensing community, e.g., in geological exploration, topographic mapping, disaster forecast, and traffic monitoring. It is valuable and meaningful, therefore, to study SAR-based remote sensing applications. In recent years, deep learning represented by convolution neural networks has promoted significant progress in the computer vision community, e.g., in face recognition, the driverless field and Internet of things (IoT). Deep learning can enable computational models with multiple processing layers to learn data representations with multiple-level abstractions. This can greatly improve the performance of various applications. This reprint provides a platform for researchers to handle the above significant challenges and present their innovative and cutting-edge research results when applying deep learning to SAR in various manuscript types, e.g., articles, letters, reviews and technical reports
DGCNet: An Efficient 3D-Densenet based on Dynamic Group Convolution for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image Classification
Deep neural networks face many problems in the field of hyperspectral image
classification, lack of effective utilization of spatial spectral information,
gradient disappearance and overfitting as the model depth increases. In order
to accelerate the deployment of the model on edge devices with strict latency
requirements and limited computing power, we introduce a lightweight model
based on the improved 3D-Densenet model and designs DGCNet. It improves the
disadvantage of group convolution. Referring to the idea of dynamic network,
dynamic group convolution(DGC) is designed on 3d convolution kernel. DGC
introduces small feature selectors for each grouping to dynamically decide
which part of the input channel to connect based on the activations of all
input channels. Multiple groups can capture different and complementary visual
and semantic features of input images, allowing convolution neural network(CNN)
to learn rich features. 3D convolution extracts high-dimensional and redundant
hyperspectral data, and there is also a lot of redundant information between
convolution kernels. DGC module allows 3D-Densenet to select channel
information with richer semantic features and discard inactive regions. The
3D-CNN passing through the DGC module can be regarded as a pruned network. DGC
not only allows 3D-CNN to complete sufficient feature extraction, but also
takes into account the requirements of speed and calculation amount. The
inference speed and accuracy have been improved, with outstanding performance
on the IN, Pavia and KSC datasets, ahead of the mainstream hyperspectral image
classification methods
