In this study, we presented a flying aircraft detection algorithm which effectively handles the noise on Landsat 8 OLI cirrus band caused by energetic particles in the South Atlantic Anomaly region, and a new framework based on cloud infrastructure was proposed to map global flying aircraft activities from 2013 to 2020 using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data. Validation was performed for 254 scenes recorded for various cloudy and surface conditions and vapor contents. The overall percentages of false alarms and omissions for these validation images were 5.37% and 7.80%, respectively. Limited to the resolution of Landsat data, cloud, the size and flight altitude of the aircraft, 42.99% flying aircraft were undetected compared with the FlightRadar24. Instead of using the Google Earth Engine, we employed more flexible cloud computing techniques, Google Cloud Storage and Google Calculation Engine, to construct our framework for the larger volume data. A total of 1.94 million Landsat images were analyzed to obtain the activities maps, and the results showed that globally flying aircraft increased by 25.85% from 2014 to 2019 (the year 2013 was excluded for the low coverage of Landsat scenes), with an annual rate of 4.31%. In 2020, flying aircraft were reduced by 40% compared with 2019 due to the influence of COVID-19 and traveling restrictions, and Europe was the most severely affected by COVID-19, with an 84.59% decline of flying aircraft in April 2020. This study provides a unique long-term supplement to monitor aviation activities and their climate impact.

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 2 (January 2 2022) . - n° 382 Titre : Automatic extraction of damaged houses by earthquake based on improved YOLOv5: A case study in Yangbi Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yafei Jing, Auteur ; Yuhuan Ren, Auteur ; Yalan Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 382 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] détection de cible [Termes IGN] dommage matériel [Termes IGN] extraction automatique [Termes IGN] image captée par drone [Termes IGN] orthoimage [Termes IGN] séisme [Termes IGN] Yunnan (Chine) Résumé : (auteur) Efficiently and automatically acquiring information on earthquake damage through remote sensing has posed great challenges because the classical methods of detecting houses damaged by destructive earthquakes are often both time consuming and low in accuracy. A series of deep-learning-based techniques have been developed and recent studies have demonstrated their high intelligence for automatic target extraction for natural and remote sensing images. For the detection of small artificial targets, current studies show that You Only Look Once (YOLO) has a good performance in aerial and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images. However, less work has been conducted on the extraction of damaged houses. In this study, we propose a YOLOv5s-ViT-BiFPN-based neural network for the detection of rural houses. Specifically, to enhance the feature information of damaged houses from the global information of the feature map, we introduce the Vision Transformer into the feature extraction network. Furthermore, regarding the scale differences for damaged houses in UAV images due to the changes in flying height, we apply the Bi-Directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN) for multi-scale feature fusion to aggregate features with different resolutions and test the model. We took the 2021 Yangbi earthquake with a surface wave magnitude (Ms) of 6.4 in Yunan, China, as an example; the results show that the proposed model presents a better performance, with the average precision (AP) being increased by 9.31% and 1.23% compared to YOLOv3 and YOLOv5s, respectively, and a detection speed of 80 FPS, which is 2.96 times faster than YOLOv3. In addition, the transferability test for five other areas showed that the average accuracy was 91.23% and the total processing time was 4 min, while 100 min were needed for professional visual interpreters. The experimental results demonstrate that the YOLOv5s-ViT-BiFPN model can automatically detect damaged rural houses due to destructive earthquakes in UAV images with a good performance in terms of accuracy and timeliness, as well as being robust and transferable.

MLMT-CNN for object detection and segmentation in multi-layer and multi-spectral images / Majedaldein Almahasneh in Machine Vision and Applications, vol 33 n° 1 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inMachine Vision and Applications > vol 33 n° 1 (January 2022) . - n° 9 Titre : MLMT-CNN for object detection and segmentation in multi-layer and multi-spectral images Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Majedaldein Almahasneh, Auteur ; Adeline Paiement, Auteur ; Xianghua Xie, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 9 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] apprentissage dirigé [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] atmosphère solaire [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] couche thématique [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] image multibande [Termes IGN] segmentation d'image Résumé : (auteur) Precisely localising solar Active Regions (AR) from multi-spectral images is a challenging but important task in understanding solar activity and its influence on space weather. A main challenge comes from each modality capturing a different location of the 3D objects, as opposed to typical multi-spectral imaging scenarios where all image bands observe the same scene. Thus, we refer to this special multi-spectral scenario as multi-layer. We present a multi-task deep learning framework that exploits the dependencies between image bands to produce 3D AR localisation (segmentation and detection) where different image bands (and physical locations) have their own set of results. Furthermore, to address the difficulty of producing dense AR annotations for training supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, we adapt a training strategy based on weak labels (i.e. bounding boxes) in a recursive manner. We compare our detection and segmentation stages against baseline approaches for solar image analysis (multi-channel coronal hole detection, SPOCA for ARs) and state-of-the-art deep learning methods (Faster RCNN, U-Net). Additionally, both detection and segmentation stages are quantitatively validated on artificially created data of similar spatial configurations made from annotated multi-modal magnetic resonance images. Our framework achieves an average of 0.72 IoU (segmentation) and 0.90 F1 score (detection) across all modalities, comparing to the best performing baseline methods with scores of 0.53 and 0.58, respectively, on the artificial dataset, and 0.84 F1 score in the AR detection task comparing to baseline of 0.82 F1 score. Our segmentation results are qualitatively validated by an expert on real ARs.

Detection of windthrown tree stems on UAV-orthomosaics using U-Net convolutional networks / Stefan Reder in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 1 (January-1 2022)

Besides the primary damages directly caused by storms, there are secondary damages such as bark beetle outbreaks and tertiary damages due to negative effects on the market. These subsequent damages can be minimized if a detailed overview of the affected area and the amount of damaged wood can be obtained quickly and included in the planning of clearance measures. The present work utilizes UAV-orthophotos and an adaptation of the U-Net architecture for the semantic segmentation and localization of windthrown stems. The network was pre-trained with generic datasets, randomly combining stems and background samples in a copy–paste augmentation, and afterwards trained with a specific dataset of a particular windthrow. The models pre-trained with generic datasets containing 10, 50 and 100 augmentations per annotated windthrown stems achieved F1-scores of 73.9% (S1Mod10), 74.3% (S1Mod50) and 75.6% (S1Mod100), outperforming the baseline model (F1-score 72.6%), which was not pre-trained. These results emphasize the applicability of the method to correctly identify windthrown trees and suggest the collection of training samples from other tree species and windthrow areas to improve the ability to generalize. Further enhancements of the network architecture are considered to improve the classification performance and to minimize the calculative costs.

An internal-external optimized convolutional neural network for arbitrary orientated object detection from optical remote sensing images / Sihang Zhang in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 24 n° 4 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inGeo-spatial Information Science > vol 24 n° 4 (December 2021) . - pp 654 - 665 Titre : An internal-external optimized convolutional neural network for arbitrary orientated object detection from optical remote sensing images Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Sihang Zhang, Auteur ; Zhenfeng Shao, Auteur ; Xiao Huang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 654 - 665 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal convolutif [Termes IGN] détection d'objet [Termes IGN] image optique [Termes IGN] optimisation (mathématiques) Résumé : (auteur) Due to the bird’s eye view of remote sensing sensors, the orientational information of an object is a key factor that has to be considered in object detection. To obtain rotating bounding boxes, existing studies either rely on rotated anchoring schemes or adding complex rotating ROI transfer layers, leading to increased computational demand and reduced detection speeds. In this study, we propose a novel internal-external optimized convolutional neural network for arbitrary orientated object detection in optical remote sensing images. For the internal optimization, we designed an anchor-based single-shot head detector that adopts the concept of coarse-to-fine detection for two-stage object detection networks. The refined rotating anchors are generated from the coarse detection head module and fed into the refining detection head module with a link of an embedded deformable convolutional layer. For the external optimization, we propose an IOU balanced loss that addresses the regression challenges related to arbitrary orientated bounding boxes. Experimental results on the DOTA and HRSC2016 benchmark datasets show that our proposed method outperforms selected methods.
