A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community
In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs),
has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech
recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS)
possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and
applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g.,
statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS
community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements
like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art
RS DL research. We also review recent new developments in the DL field that can
be used in DL for RS. Namely, we focus on theories, tools and challenges for
the RS community. Specifically, we focus on unsolved challenges and
opportunities as it relates to (i) inadequate data sets, (ii)
human-understandable solutions for modelling physical phenomena, (iii) Big
Data, (iv) non-traditional heterogeneous data sources, (v) DL architectures and
learning algorithms for spectral, spatial and temporal data, (vi) transfer
learning, (vii) an improved theoretical understanding of DL systems, (viii)
high barriers to entry, and (ix) training and optimizing the DL.Comment: 64 pages, 411 references. To appear in Journal of Applied Remote

Object Recognition
Vision-based object recognition tasks are very familiar in our everyday activities, such as driving our car in the correct lane. We do these tasks effortlessly in real-time. In the last decades, with the advancement of computer technology, researchers and application developers are trying to mimic the human's capability of visually recognising. Such capability will allow machine to free human from boring or dangerous jobs
Research on Brain and Mind Inspired Intelligence
To address the problems of scientific theory, common technology and engineering application of multimedia and multimodal information computing, this paper is focused on the theoretical model, algorithm framework, and system architecture of brain and mind inspired intelligence (BMI) based on the structure mechanism simulation of the nervous system, the function architecture emulation of the cognitive system and the complex behavior imitation of the natural system. Based on information theory, system theory, cybernetics and bionics, we define related concept and hypothesis of brain and mind inspired computing (BMC) and design a model and framework for frontier BMI theory. Research shows that BMC can effectively improve the performance of semantic processing of multimedia and cross-modal information, such as target detection, classification and recognition. Based on the brain mechanism and mind architecture, a semantic-oriented multimedia neural, cognitive computing model is designed for multimedia semantic computing. Then a hierarchical cross-modal cognitive neural computing framework is proposed for cross-modal information processing. Furthermore, a cross-modal neural, cognitive computing architecture is presented for remote sensing intelligent information extraction platform and unmanned autonomous system
Magnitude Sensitive Competitive Neural Networks
En esta Tesis se presentan un conjunto de redes neuronales llamadas Magnitude Sensitive Competitive Neural Networks (MSCNNs). Se trata de un conjunto de algoritmos de Competitive Learning que incluyen un término de magnitud como un factor de modulación de la distancia usada en la competición. Al igual que otros métodos competitivos, MSCNNs realizan la cuantización vectorial de los datos, pero el término de magnitud guÃa el entrenamiento de los centroides de modo que se representan con alto detalle las zonas deseadas, definidas por la magnitud. Estas redes se han comparado con otros algoritmos de cuantización vectorial en diversos ejemplos de interpolación, reducción de color, modelado de superficies, clasificación, y varios ejemplos sencillos de demostración. Además se introduce un nuevo algoritmo de compresión de imágenes, MSIC (Magnitude Sensitive Image Compression), que hace uso de los algoritmos mencionados previamente, y que consigue una compresión de la imagen variable según una magnitud definida por el usuario. Los resultados muestran que las nuevas redes neuronales MSCNNs son más versátiles que otros algoritmos de aprendizaje competitivo, y presentan una clara mejora en cuantización vectorial sobre ellos cuando el dato está sopesado por una magnitud que indica el ¿interés¿ de cada muestra
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
