This paper introduces the phase congruency model with illumination and contrast invariance for image matching, and extends the model to a novel image registration method, named as multi-scale phase consistency (MS-PC). The Euclidean distance between MS-PC descriptors is used as similarity metric to achieve correspondences. The proposed method is evaluated with four pairs of multi-model remote sensing images. The experimental results show that MS-PC is more robust to the radiation differences between images, and performs better than two popular method (i.e. SIFT and SAR-SIFT) in both registration accuracy and tie points number.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130019209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This advancement has significantly increased the potential for Individual Tree Species Detection (ITSD). In order to use the single source Worldview-3 images, our proposed method first segments the image to delineate trees, and then detects trees using a VGG-16 network. We developed a pipeline for feeding the deep CNN network using the information from all the 8 visible-near infrareds' bands and trained it.

How to improve the image classification accuracy has become the focus of many studies. Recently, Deep learning is capable to extract discriminating high-level abstract features for image classification task, and some interesting results have been acquired in image processing. However, when deep learning is applied to the classification of hyperspectral remote sensing images, the spectral-based classification method is short of spatial and scale information; the image patch-based classification method ignores the rich spectral information provided by hyperspectral images. In this study, a multi-scale feature fusion hyperspectral image classification method based on deep learning was proposed. Firstly, multiscale features were obtained by multi-scale segmentation. Then multiscale features were input into the convolution neural network to extract high-level features. Finally, the high-level features were used for classification. Experimental results show that the classification results of the fusion multi-scale features are better than the single-scale features and regional feature classification results.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133976399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is difficult to obtain omnidirectional three-dimensional information of the earth surface using a LiDAR system from a single platform. So the integration of multi-platform LiDAR data, in which data registration is a core part, has become an important topic in geospatial information processing. In this paper, the iterative closest common ground points registration method is proposed. Firstly, the possible common ground points of mobile and airborne LiDAR data are extracted. And then the adaptive octree structure is utilized to thin the LiDAR ground points, which make mobile and airborne LiDAR ground points have the same point density. Finally, the fine registration parameters are calculated by the iterative closest point (ICP) method, in which the thinned ground points from two sources are input data. The innovation of this method is that the common ground points and adaptive octree structure are used to optimize the input data of iterative closest point, which overcomes the registration difficulty caused by different perspectives and resolutions of mobile and airborne LiDAR. The proposed method was tested in this paper and can effectively realize the fine registration of mobile and airborne LiDAR data and make the façade points acquired by mobile LiDAR and the roof points acquired by airborne LiDAR fitter.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114220181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the binarized image of the soil layer is divided and the density of pixels in each segmentation is calculated to determine the depth, area and direction of the soil layer, so that the identification of soil layer in the digital borehole image can be achieved.
