It is of great significance to implement underground cavity inspection on urban streets and roads subgrade. In the practical application of engineering, the ground penetrating radar (GPR) has shown promising for detection of underground cavities. In this paper, we propose a novel encoding-based back projection (EBP) algorithm to detect underground holes. Our proposed method has a natural filtering function and avoids the effect of trailing, which makes the target localization more accurate. The experiments use the simulation data derived from the GPR numerical simulation software (GprMax) and the measured data collected from the Latvia radar system. And the results demonstrate that the proposed method has superior performance.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"27 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":"129917713","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}

Popular remote sensor data, e.g., hyperspectral (HS) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR), contain complementary information for land cover if they are co-registered. In this paper, we aim to integrate information extracted from these data sources for land cover classification. At first, we propose a novel feature extraction method by calculating the inverse coefficient of variation (ICV) using the Gaussian probability of neighbourhood between every pair of bands in HS data. This is calculated for each band with respect to every other band to form an ICV cube. We reduce the number of planes in the cube by applying principal component analysis (PCA) on it and spatial features are then extracted for significant principal components. The spectral information from HS data, their ICV responses, and spatial information from ICV responses have complementary information; that is why we fuse them together by layer stacking to generate discriminant features. Secondly, we also derive height and spatial features from LiDAR Digital Elevation Model (DSM), which are later concatenated with the HS derived features. Finally, these features are classified using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) classifier. The classification results prove the effectiveness of the derived features from both data sources.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"32 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":"126092497","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}

We use a deep convolutional neural network with residual training and PReLU activation, inspired by the super-resolution task for RGB images. In the case of hyperspectral imaging, it is often a problem to find a large enough ground truth dataset for training a neural network from scratch. Transfer learning using the network pretrained for RGB images with some pre- and postprocessing is one of the possible workarounds. In this paper, we propose to simulate the necessary ground truth data using non-imaging spectrometer. The obtained dataset with partially simulated ground truth is then used to train the convolutional neural network directly for hyperspectral image quality enhancement. The proposed training approach also allows to incorporate distortions specific for hyperspectral images into the enhancement procedure. It allows to successfully remove the striping distortions inherent to the Offner scheme of image acquisition. The experimental results of the proposed approach show a significant quality gain.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"31 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":"127644935","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}

The proposed method utilizes a supervoxel structure to organize the point clouds, and then extracts the detrended geometric features from the local context of supervoxels. Combined with the detrended features of the local context, the Random Forest (RF) classifier will be adopted to obtain the initial semantic labeling results of trees from point clouds. Afterwards, a local context-based regularization is iteratively performed to achieve global optimum on a global graphical model, in order to spatially smoothing the semantic labeling results. Finally, a graph-based segmentation is conducted to separate individual trees according to the semantic labeling results. The use of supervoxel structure can preserve the geometric boundaries of objects in the scene, and compared with point-based solutions, the supervoxel-based method can largely decrease the number of basic elements during the processing. Besides, the introduction of supervoxel contexts can extract the local information of an object making the feature extraction more robust and representative. Detrended geometric features can get over the redundant and in-salient information in the local context, so that discriminative features are obtained. Benefiting from the regularization process, the spatial smoothing is obtained based on initial labeling results from classic classifications such as RF classification. As a result, misclassification errors are removed to a large degree and semantic labeling results are thus smoothed. Based on the constructed global graphical model during the spatially smoothing process, a graph-based segmentation is applied to partition the graphical model for the clustering the instances of trees. The experiments on two test datasets have shown promising results, with an accuracy of the semantic labeling of trees reaching around 0.9. The segmentation of trees using graph-based algorithm also show acceptable results, with trees having simple structures and sparse distributions correctly separated, but for those cramped trees with complex structures, the points are over- or under-segmented.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"187 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":"114851195","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}

An accurate and real-time visual human recognition task, however, represents a scientific challenge because typical UAV imaging and computational capabilities and conditions introduce complexities and constraints. Motion blur, the non-specific top-view appearance of humans, low-image resolution and limited onboard computational resources are among the most important limiting factors to be considered. In this paper we propose a run-time-efficient multi-modal detection framework performing clustering and recognition on thermal infrared, passive stereo depth and intensity channels in order to cope with the above complexities and to achieve accurate human detection results. Thermal infrared and depth data are used to generate proposals in combination with an explicit, tree-structured shape representation driven clustering scheme. Generated proposals are used as an input for a discriminatively trained deep classification step to recognize humans. The proposed clustering and classification scheme is validated in qualitative and quantitative terms on four large aerial datasets representing complex (small objects, clutter, occlusions) situations.","PeriodicalId":197319,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing (PRRS)","volume":"105 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":"125746746","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}
