报告摘要: Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) image classification and change detection are two hot topics in Remote Sensing (RS), and they are widely used in monitoring the earth covering and the evolution of the earth surface. In this talk, we first present a new type of restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) for PolSAR data, i.e., Wishart-Bernoulli RBM (WBRBM), which is used to form a deep network named as Wishart DBN (W-DBN). Numerous unlabeled PolSAR pixels are fully used to model PolSAR pixels by W-DBN. In addition, the coherency matrix is used directly to represent a PolSAR pixel without any manual feature extraction, which is simple and time saving. Then, a specific deep model for PolSAR image classification is proposed to improve the efficiency of the classification algorithm, which is named Wishart DSN (W-DSN). It establishes a simple but clever connection between PolSAR image interpretation and deep learning. Next, a novel version of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) named Task-Oriented GAN is proposed to tackle small sample problem. Besides that, a novel version of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is also presented to detect changed areas in multitemporal PolSAR images, which is named Local Restricted Convolutional Neural Network (LRCNN). It not only recognizes different types of changed/unchanged data, but also ensures noise insensitivity without losing details in changed areas. What’s more, for the task of change detection in large-scale PolSAR image, a new method based on Looking-Around-and-Into mode is proposed, which is inspired by the way of visual searching in an electronic map. It looks around firstly to locate the candidate domain (Look Around) and then analyze them in different scales (Look Into). Experiment results show that the proposed methods perform very well in PolSAR image classification and change detection.
