Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Big data is a very important topic in many research areas. Remote sensing, as one of the sources for big data, is generating earth-observation data and analysis results daily from the platforms of satellites, manned/unmanned aircrafts, and ground-based structures. These different kinds of remote-sensing data include SAR, multi-spectral optical data and hyper-spectral optical data. Those data sets comprise different spectral bandwidths (dimensionality), spatial resolutions, and radiometric resolutions. The increasing growth of remote sensing data and geoscience research pushes earth sciences strongly and poses great challenges to data science for remote sensing big data, including collection, storage, management, analysis and interpretation. This Special Issue is expected to bring together experts from different research areas to discover and realize the values of big data in various remote sensing areas.

This Special Issue is intended to present the current state-of-the-art theoretical, methodological, technique and application research on remote sensing big data. The aim of this Special Issue is to share the experiences in processing remote sensing images with large volumes and variant modes, and intelligent interpretation with advance algorithms. We expect that these research results will provide a necessary effort towards the incorporation of this technology into the remote sensing field and also help academia, governments, and industries to gain insights into the potential of using big data techniques and concepts in remote-sensing applications.

With the development of big data, analyzing the environmental benefits of transportation systems by artificial intelligence has become a hot issue in recent years. The ground traffic changes can be overlooked from a high-altitude perspective, using the technology of multi-temporal remote sensing change detection. We proposed a novel unsupervised algorithm by combining the image transformation and deep learning method. The new algorithm for remote sensing images is named multi-attention slow feature analysis (ASFA). In this model, three parts perform different functions respectively. The first part records to the K-BoVW to classify the categories of the ground objects as a channel parameter. The second part is a residual convolution with multiple attention mechanisms including temporal, spatial, and channel attention. Feature extraction and updating are completed at this link. Finally, we put the updated features in the slow feature analysis to highlight the variant components which we want and then generate the change map visually. Experiments on three very high-resolution datasets verified that the ASFA has a better performance than four basic change detection algorithms and an improved SFA algorithm. More importantly, this model works well for traffic road detection and helps us analyze the environmental benefits of traffic changes. Full article

As one of the main sources of remote sensing big data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide all-day and all-weather Earth image acquisition. However, speckle noise in SAR images brings a notable limitation for its big data applications, including image analysis and interpretation. Deep learning has been demonstrated as an advanced method and technology for SAR image despeckling. Most existing deep-learning-based methods adopt supervised learning and use synthetic speckled images to train the despeckling networks. This is because they need clean images as the references, and it is hard to obtain purely clean SAR images in real-world conditions. However, significant differences between synthetic speckled and real SAR images cause the domain gap problem. In other words, they cannot show superior performance for despeckling real SAR images as they do for synthetic speckled images. Inspired by recent studies on self-supervised denoising, we propose an advanced SAR image despeckling method by virtue of Bernoulli-sampling-based self-supervised deep learning, called SSD-SAR-BS. By only using real speckled SAR images, Bernoulli-sampled speckled image pairs (input–target) were obtained as the training data. Then, a multiscale despeckling network was trained on these image pairs. In addition, a dropout-based ensemble was introduced to boost the network performance. Extensive experimental results demonstrated that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art for speckle noise suppression on both synthetic speckled and real SAR datasets (i.e., Sentinel-1 and TerraSAR-X).

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification is one of the basic methods of PolSAR image interpretation. Deep learning algorithms, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been widely used in PolSAR image classification due to their powerful feature learning capabilities. However, a single neuron in the CNN cannot represent multiple polarimetric attributes of the land cover. The capsule network (CapsNet) uses vectors instead of the single neuron to characterize the polarimetric attributes, which improves the classification performance compared with traditional CNNs. In this paper, a hierarchical capsule network (HCapsNet) is proposed for the land cover classification of PolSAR images, which can consider the deep features obtained at different network levels in the classification. Moreover, we adopt three attributes to uniformly describe the scattering mechanisms of different land covers: phase, amplitude, and polarimetric decomposition parameters, which improves the generalization performance of HCapsNet. Furthermore, conditional random field (CRF) is added to the classification framework to eliminate small isolated regions of the intra-class. Comprehensive evaluations are performed on three PolSAR datasets acquired by different sensors, which demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. Full article
