Compared with large-scale objects, roads are smaller, winding, and likely to be covered by buildings’ shadows, causing deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to be difficult to identify roads. The letter proposes a semantics-geometry framework (SGNet) with a two-branch backbone, i.e., semantics-dominant branch and geometry-dominant branch. The semantics-dominant branch inputs images to predict dense semantic features, and the geometry-dominant branch takes images to generate sparse boundary features. Then, dense semantic features and boundary details generated by two branches are adaptively fused. Further, by utilizing affinity between neighborhood pixels, a feature refinement module (FRM) is proposed to refine textures and road details. We evaluate the SGNet on the Ottawa road dataset. Experiments show that the SGNet outperforms other competitors on the road extraction task.

However, for broadband seismic signals, the peaks of the frequency distribution in the TF spectrum of ST biases the actual Fourier spectrum. Besides, the TF resolution of ST is affected by the relatively fixed window function and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In order to correct the frequency bias and improve the TF resolution of ST, and at the same time, to increase the flexibility of the window function, we propose a new TF analysis method, called the deconvolutive frequency corrected three-parameter ST (DFC-TPST). The DFC-TPST includes two steps: modifying the window function to achieve the frequency-corrected three-parameter ST (FC-TPST) and deconvoluting FC-TPST to achieve DFC-TPST. The synthetic example proves the superiority of the method in characterizing seismic signals. Through comparison of field data testing, we find that the proposed method can be well applied to hydrocarbon detection in tight sandstone reservoirs.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62505127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the practical application, pulse-compression radar is widely used in terms of civilian offshore surface target detection. The existence of sea clutter will greatly interfere the detection performance of pulse-compression radar. This leads to the low detection performance of traditional algorithms like constant false alarm rate (CFAR). Deep learning methods have made strides in many fields recently, such as natural language processing and speech recognition. Inspired by this idea, we propose a maritime radar target detection method in sea clutter based on convolution neural network (CNN) and dual-perspective attention (DPA). The proposed method first encodes the radar echo in high-dimensional space and then extracts the correlation features from the global and local perspectives through the attention mechanism. We deployed the X-band pulse-compression radar on the coast of Hainan, China, and collected a lot of measured data. Experimental results demonstrate that the detection performance of our method outperforms the traditional CFAR methods and the latest deep learning-based methods. In the measured dataset, our proposed method can reach a detection probability of 93.59% under a false alarm rate (FAR) of $1e-3$ , reaching the practical application level.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62499431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
