Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are launching the second Special Issue of Remote Sensing to be released under the title “Object Detection and Information Extraction Based on Remote Sensing Imagery”.

Remote sensing technology has become a fundamental means by which humans might observe the Earth, and has driven progress in many applicative fields, such as environmental surveillance, disaster monitoring, ocean situational awareness, traffic management, and modern military, etc. However, the intelligent interpretation of remote sensing data poses unique challenges due to limited imaging capabilities, extremely high annotation costs, and insufficient multimodal data fusion. In recent years, deep learning techniques, represented by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers, have shown remarkable success in computer vision tasks due to their powerful feature extraction and representation capabilities. However, their application in remote sensing imagery is still relatively limited. In this Special Issue, we aim to compile state-of-the-art research pertaining to the application of machine learning methods for object detection and information extraction based on remote sensing imagery.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest advancements and emerging trends in the field of object detection and information extraction in remote sensing imagery. Specifically, the topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following suggested themes:

  • Object detection and tracking in remote sensing images/videos;
  • Scene recognition, road extraction, and semantic segmentation;
  • Anomaly detection and quality evaluation of remote sensing data;
  • Multimodal remote sensing information extraction and fusion;
  • Few/zero-shot learning in remote sensing data.

Object detection in low-light conditions is increasingly relevant across various applications, presenting a challenge for improving accuracy. This study employs the popular YOLOv7 framework and examines low-light image characteristics, implementing performance enhancement strategies tailored to these conditions. We integrate an agile hybrid convolutional module to enhance edge information extraction, improving detailed discernment in low-light scenes. Convolutional attention and deformable convolutional modules are added to extract rich semantic information. Cross-layer connection structures are established to reinforce critical information, enhancing feature representation. We use brightness-adjusted data augmentation and a novel bounding box loss function to improve detection performance. Evaluations on the ExDark dataset show that our method achieved an mAP50 of 80.1% and an mAP50:95 of 52.3%, improving by 8.6% and 11.5% over the baseline model, respectively. These results validate the effectiveness of our approach for low-light object detection. Full article
