This paper, therefore, develops an Encoder-Decoder model based on the gated recurrent units (GRU) network to achieve work mode recognition. It involves the use of the Encoder structure to extract the temporal features and the work mode transition regulations of the intercepted pulse group sequence while leveraging the Decoder structure to decode the features and transition regulations as a part of the input for the next decoding process. Additionally, the label substitution (LS) method is utilized for improving the ability of the Decoder structure to recognize work mode under non-ideal situations. Simulation results show that the proposed method is less sensitive in the presence of non-ideal situations and shares better performance than existing work mode recognition methods.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129305787","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, due to the fact that it is more difficult to generate the images than to distinguish the real or fake, GANs usually suffer from the problems of unstable training and mode collapse. As such, a residual and attention-based generative adversarial network (RAGAN) is proposed for SAR data augmentation. Firstly, the directional bounding box is used as a constraint in the RAGAN to limit the position of ship in the generated SAR image, which can be further set as the annotation of the SAR image for ship detection directly. After that, inspired by the residual and attention learning, a residual and attention block (RABlock) and a transposed RABlock (TRABlock) are designed to improve the generator of the RAGAN, thus preventing the whole model from gradient vanishing and suppressing the effects of speckle noise and background to enhance the quality of the generated SAR images. Experimental results on the HRSID data set demonstrate the effectiveness of our RAGAN model in SAR data augmentation for ship detection.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130333105","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 spectra are used in the study of surface materials in the biological, geological and oceanographic sciences to name a few, utilizing quantitative spectroscopic techniques. The instruments developed to measure such data are expensive due to the increased number of bands, and create large datasets that can be difficult to downlink for a given instance. Repeat cycle of space-borne hyperspectral observations of the earth surface is also less than those of multi-spectral sensors. It becomes incumbent to develop mechanisms that could be cost-effective and give desired results. With this aim, spectral Super-Resolution (SR) is attempted on the Airborne Visible and Infra-Red Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data to reconstruct the hyperspectral band radiance from equally-spaced narrow multi-spectral bands using dictionary learning, followed by denoising using machine learning. The hyperspectral band radiance are first estimated from 30 selected input multi-spectral bands using dictionary trained through K-Singular Value Decomposition (K-SVD), followed by denoising using Random Forest Regression. An overall Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 31.58dB is observed from reconstruction after denoising using Random Forest.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126787381","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 paper describes a novel system-level calibration framework, called “ACCURACy” to calibrate CubeSat based radiometer constellations as a single system in their entirety with minimal errors and uncertainties. Artificial constellation simulations have demonstrated that ACCURACy, while maintaining the accuracy levels of ideal calibration scenarios, leads to lower uncertainties in calibrated radiometer products compared to state-of-the-art calibration and intercalibration techniques based on overlapping measurements of the constellation members.","PeriodicalId":426003,"journal":{"name":"IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130576232","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}

In this paper, we propose a fine-grained continual learning algorithm for SAR incremental target recognition. Since data imbalance between old and new classes results in the forgetting of old classes, class-balanced loss is introduced to alleviate this phenomenon. In addition, covariance pooling network is utilized to explore the higher-order statistical information to improve the discrimination of features.
