Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image land cover classification is an important task in SAR image interpretation. Supervised learning, such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), demands instances which are accurately labeled. However, a large amount of accurately labeled SAR images are difficult to produce. In this paper, a Probability Transition CNN (PTCNN) is proposed for patch-level SAR image land...
Performance of ship detection is influenced by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging characteristics and environmental conditions. In this paper, aiming at evaluating vessel detectability for Sentinel-1 SAR data, a model based on a large-scale Sentinel-1A vessel chips database is established. The model sensitivity is analyzed by simulation data. In the experiment, by inputting the parameters of imaging...
In this paper, we propose a superpixel generation method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm. The pixels is firstly grouped to generate initial superpixels by using probabilistic patch-based (PPB) dissimilarity. Then, small clusters are combined into their neighbor superpixels to get final results through...
The probabilistic patch-based similarity measure (PPBSM) is a deeply studied and widely used method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image processing and understanding. Considering its performance limitation, we propose a preliminary exploration of integrating the spatial correlation information into the PPBSM, and design a refined method for SAR image change detection.
Fine-scale classification in form of object extraction or segmentation for high resolution SAR images is a challenging task due to the existing local noises, object deformation and part missing. A novel SAR classification method based on CRFs which combines low-level features, label context and object structure priors is presented in this paper. Local label pattern is proposed in this paper to model...
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has attracted much attention for feature learning and image classification, mostly related to close range photography. As a benchmark work, we trained a relatively large CNN to classify SAR image patches into five different categories, where the image patches tiled and annotated from a typical TerraSAR-X spotlight scene of Wuhan, China. The neural network designed...
In this paper, we propose a fast PolSAR image superpixel segmentation method. This method takes a simple coarse-to-fine optimization technique to minimize a Markov-Random-Field (MRF) like energy function which integrates the Pol- SAR image statistic, spatial position and boundary smoothing. It updates boundary of superpixels staring with a large block level and iterates down to the final pixel level...
