... In satellite optical images, clouds are normally exhibited at different scales with various boundaries. In order to accurately capture the variable visual forms of clouds, we present a deep learning based strategy, i.e., Boundary Nets, which generates a cloud mask for detecting clouds in one cloudy image. The Boundary Nets consist of two nets, i.e., (a) a scalable-boundary net, and (b) a different ...
... The photogrammetric approach was proposed in this study to evaluate torsional behaviour of glulam timber beams during the torsion test. The main objectives were to investigate the applicability of the photogrammetric approach and to monitor more details of angles of twist of glulam timber beams. Experiments were conducted and the twists on long and short sides of the cross section were measured us ...
... The continuous distributions of PM₂.₅ concentrations and predictor variables in the surrounding regions influence the PM₂.₅ concentrations in the prediction positions notably, yet few machine learning models quantified the spatially continuous interactions between PM₂.₅ concentrations and predictor variations, which limits the prediction accuracy. To fill this gap, a Spatial and Temporal Weighted ...
... The purpose of investigation is to develop an algorithm for determining the a priori accuracy assessment of the external orientation angle elements of digital images obtained from UAVs. Formulas for estimating the accuracy of external orientation elements are determined by the derivatives of many variables functions, which are the solutions of linear equations systems. These systems are obtained b ...
... Improved resolution and geolocation accuracy of spaceborne SAR images make refined digital surface model extraction and delicate three-dimensional reconstruction promising. Currently, extracting a refined digital surface model by stereo SAR remains challenging due to the significant matching errors. In this paper, we quantitatively analyze the effect of matching errors on stereo SAR based on a sim ...
... Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have made a name for themselves in photogrammetry studies in recent years, provide users with integrated camera systems. Identifying interior orientation parameters, such as focal coordinates, focal length and distortions, is an essential requirement for camera systems used for photogrammetric purposes. This process, which is called camera calibration, is off ...
... Feature matching, which aims at seeking dependable correspondences between two sets of features, is of considerable significance to various vision-based tasks. This paper attempts to eliminate false correspondences from given tentative correspondences created on the basis of descriptor similarity. A simple yet efficient approach named neighborhood manifold representation consensus (NMRC) for robus ...
... Street view images (SVIs) have great potential for automatic land use classification. Previous studies have paid little attention to the spatial context of SVIs and land parcels, leaving room for improvement in classification accuracy and identification of parcels without SVIs. This study proposes a novel spatial context-aware method for land use classification that synthesizes SVI content and spa ...
... As an essential part of point cloud processing, autonomous classification is conventionally used in various multifaceted scenes and non-regular point distributions. State-of-the-art point cloud classification methods mostly process raw point clouds, using a single point as the basic unit and calculating point cloud features by searching local neighbors via the k-neighborhood method. Such methods t ...
... Deep neural network has been successfully applied to remote sensing image scene classification, which requires a large amount of annotated data for training. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to obtain abundant labeled samples in various applications. Therefore, it is of great importance to conduct scene classification with only a few annotated images. In order to address the issue ...
... While modern deep learning algorithms for semantic segmentation of airborne laser scanning (ALS) point clouds have achieved considerable success, the training process often requires a large number of labelled 3D points. Pointwise annotation of 3D point clouds, especially for large scale ALS datasets, is extremely time-consuming work. Weak supervision that only needs a few annotation efforts but ca ...

Abstract:
... Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has always been a hot topic in the field of remote sensing. This is owing to the high level feature extraction offered by CNNs that enables efficient encoding of the features at several stages. However, the drawback with CNNs is that for exceptional performance, they need a deeper and wider architecture along with ...

... Three-dimensional documentation of natural and cultural geosites is gaining increasing attention as an indicative tool for environmental change. However, the entities therein pose a challenge to current extraction schemes due to their varying dimensions, complex shape, and most importantly, their seamless embedding in the surrounding topography. It is common to approach the extraction of these ent ...
... Point of interest (POI) is essential to urban scene understanding and location-based services. However, most of the POI data sets are collected manually on the spot, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based three-stage framework to automatically generate POI data sets from scene images by integrating instance segmentation, scene text recognition (STR), ...

Abstract:
... Modern optical satellite sensors enable high-resolution stereo reconstruction from space. But the challenging imaging conditions when observing the Earth from space push stereo matching to its limits. In practice, the resulting digital surface models (DSMs) are fairly noisy and often do not attain the accuracy needed for high-resolution applications such as 3D city modeling. Arguably, stereo corre ...

However, the high combinational complexity of match pairs and the high outlier ratio of initial matches become two major issues in SfM-based image orientation. This paper presents an integrated workflow to achieve simultaneously match pair selection and guided feature matching for image orientation. The cor ...
