Target-adaptive CNN-based pansharpening
We recently proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) for remote sensing
image pansharpening obtaining a significant performance gain over the state of
the art. In this paper, we explore a number of architectural and training
variations to this baseline, achieving further performance gains with a
lightweight network which trains very fast. Leveraging on this latter property,
we propose a target-adaptive usage modality which ensures a very good
performance also in the presence of a mismatch w.r.t. the training set, and
even across different sensors. The proposed method, published online as an
off-the-shelf software tool, allows users to perform fast and high-quality
CNN-based pansharpening of their own target images on general-purpose hardware
Deep learning in remote sensing: a review
Standing at the paradigm shift towards data-intensive science, machine
learning techniques are becoming increasingly important. In particular, as a
major breakthrough in the field, deep learning has proven as an extremely
powerful tool in many fields. Shall we embrace deep learning as the key to all?
Or, should we resist a 'black-box' solution? There are controversial opinions
in the remote sensing community. In this article, we analyze the challenges of
using deep learning for remote sensing data analysis, review the recent
advances, and provide resources to make deep learning in remote sensing
ridiculously simple to start with. More importantly, we advocate remote sensing
scientists to bring their expertise into deep learning, and use it as an
implicit general model to tackle unprecedented large-scale influential
challenges, such as climate change and urbanization.Comment: Accepted for publication IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazin
