However, some EE methods under pure-pixel assumption may work badly for highly mixed data due to the complexity of image data. In this work, we propose a linear spectral mixing model-guided artificial bee colony (LSMM-ABC) method for EE to solve the problem under a highly mixed situation. The main innovative point of this work is that each employed bee in LSMM-ABC searches food source position guided by the LSMM, rather than with a neighbor food source position. What is more, this proposed LSMM-ABC is not confined to the pure-pixel assumption. The LSMM could help employed bees to find a better solution in endmember generation based on the ABC algorithm. Experimental results on both synthetic and real Cuprite data sets show us that the proposed LSMM-ABC method can improve the overall EE accuracy compared with the EE methods for highly mixed data.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"17 1","pages":"2145-2149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LGRS.2019.2961502","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48077157","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}

Due to its wider coverage, satellite videos show more advantages in large-scale monitoring than ground surveillance videos. However, pseudomotion background and low-resolution targets pose new challenges to moving vehicle detection in satellite videos, resulting in poor performance of conventional target detection methods when applied to satellite videos. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a novel moving vehicle detection approach using adaptive motion separation and difference accumulated trajectory. Specifically, a new indicator is designed to assist adaptive separation of moving targets and background, considering the scale invariance of vehicles in satellite videos. Meanwhile, we offer a vehicle discrimination algorithm based on a differential accumulated trajectory to distinguish the moving vehicles from the pseudomotion background. Experimental results on two satellite video data sets demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves better detection performance over the state-of-the-art moving vehicle detection methods.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"36 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/lgrs.2020.3034677","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62474385","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}

However, the theoretical performance analysis of square-law detectors in the presence of Weibull clutter leads to cumbersome mathematical formulations. Some studies have circumvented this problem by using approximations or mathematical artifacts to simplify calculations. In this work, we derive a closed-form and exact expression for the probability of detection (PD) of a square-law detector in the presence of exponential targets and Weibull-distributed ground clutter, given in terms of the Fox H-function. Unlike previous studies, no approximations nor simplifying assumptions are made throughout our analysis. Furthermore, we derive a fast convergent series for the referred PD by exploiting the orthogonal selection of poles in Cauchy’s residue theorem. In passing, we also obtain closed-form solutions and series representations for the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of the sum statistics that govern the output of a square-law detector. Numerical results and Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the validity of our expressions.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":"1956-1960"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/lgrs.2020.3009304","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46449550","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}

In practical considerations, predictions of these measurements at unobserved locations are of great interest. For standard multivariate spatial prediction methods it is mandatory to not only model spatial dependencies but also cross-dependencies which makes it a demanding task. Recently, a blind source separation (BSS) approach for spatial data was suggested. When using this spatial BSS (SBSS) method before the actual spatial prediction, modeling of spatial cross-dependencies is avoided, which in turn simplifies the spatial prediction task significantly. In this letter, we investigate the use of SBSS as a preprocessing tool for spatial prediction and compare it with predictions from Cokriging and neural networks in an extensive simulation study as well as a geochemical data set.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":"1931-1935"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LGRS.2020.3011549","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47829030","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}

It demands a large number of clean label data to train a deep neural network for building extraction. But it is labor expensive to collect such pixel-wise annotated data manually. Fortunately, the building footprint data of geographic information system (GIS) maps provide a cheap way of generating building label data, but these labels are imperfect due to misalignment between the GIS maps and images. In this letter, we consider the task of learning a deep neural network to label images pixel-wise from such noisy label data for building extraction. To this end, we propose a general label noise-adaptive (NA) neural network framework consisting of a base network followed by an additional probability transition modular (PTM) which is introduced to capture the relationship between the true label and the noisy label. The parameters of the PTM can be estimated as part of the training process of the whole network by the off-the-shelf backpropagation algorithm. We conduct experiments on real-world data set to demonstrate that our proposed PTM can better handle noisy labels and improve the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on the noisy label data generated by GIS maps for building extraction. The experimental results indicate that being armed with our proposed PTM for fully CNN, it provides a promising solution to reduce manual annotation effort for the labor-expensive object extraction tasks from remote sensing images.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"17 1","pages":"2135-2139"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2020-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LGRS.2019.2963065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46085301","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}

This letter proposes a novel infrared and visible image fusion method basing hybrid representation learning by combining dictionary-learning-based joint sparse representation (JSR) and nonnegative sparse representation (NNSR). In the proposed method, different fusion strategies are adopted, respectively, for the mean image, which represents the primary energy information, and for the deaveraged image, which contains important detail features. Since the deaveraged image contains a large amount of high-frequency details information of the source image, JSR is utilized to sparsely and accurately extract the common and innovation features of the deaveraged image, thus, accurately merging high-frequency details in the deaveraged image. Then, the mean image represents low-frequency and overview features of the source image, according to NNSR, mean image is classified well-directed to different feature regions and then fused, respectively. Such proposed method, on the one hand, can eliminate the impact on fusion result suffering from very different brightness causing by different imaging mechanism between infrared and visible image; on the other hand, it can improve the readability and accuracy of the result fusion image. Experimental result shows that, compared with the classical and state-of-the-art fusion methods, the proposed method not only can accurately integrate the infrared target but also has rich background details of the visible image, and the fusion effect is superior.","PeriodicalId":13046,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters","volume":"16 1","pages":"1796-1800"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LGRS.2019.2907721","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44449172","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}
