The proposed method is based on a discriminative clustering framework that explicitly relies on a discriminative supervised classification technique to perform unsupervised clustering. To implement this idea, we design an energy function for unsupervised PolSAR image classification by combining a supervised softmax regression model with a Markov Random Field (MRF) smoothness constraint. In this model, both the pixel-wise class labels and classifiers are taken as unknown variables to be optimized. Starting from the initialized class labels generated by Cloude-Pottier decomposition and K-Wishart distribution hypothesis, we iteratively optimize the classifiers and class labels by alternately minimizing the energy function w.r.t. them. Finally, the optimized class labels are taken as the classification result, and the classifiers for different classes are also derived as a side effect. We apply this approach to real PolSAR benchmark data. Extensive experiments justify that our approach can effectively classify the PolSAR image in an unsupervised way, and produce higher accuracies than the compared state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":262222,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Workshop on Remote Sensing with Intelligent Processing (RSIP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122855545","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}

Although numerous vehicle detection methods exist, most of them cannot achieve real-time detection for different scenes. Recently, deep learning algorithms has achieved fantastic detection performance in computer vision, especially regression based convolutional neural networks YOLOv2. It's good both at accuracy and speed, outperforming other state-of-the-art detection methods. This paper for the first time aims to investigate the use of YOLOv2 for vehicle detection in UAV images, as well as to explore the new method for data annotation. Our method starts with image annotation and data augmentation. CSK tracking method is used to help annotate vehicles in images captured from simple scenes. Subsequently, a regression based single convolutional neural network YOLOv2 is used to detect vehicles in UAV images. To evaluate our method, UAV video images were taken over several urban areas, and experiments were conducted on this dataset and Stanford Drone dataset. The experimental results have proven that our data preparation strategy is useful, and YOLOv2 is effective for real-time vehicle detection of UAV video images.","PeriodicalId":262222,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Workshop on Remote Sensing with Intelligent Processing (RSIP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129443809","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}

Taking the objects proposals generated by Faster R-CNN for the guard windows of CFAR algorithm, this method picks up the small-sized targets.
