With the development of deep learning, supervised learning methods perform well in remote sensing images (RSIs) scene classification. However, supervised learning requires a huge number of annotated data for training. When labeled samples are not sufficient, the most common solution is to fine-tune the pre-training models using a large natural image dataset (e.g. ImageNet). However, this learning paradigm is not a panacea, especially when the target remote sensing images (e.g. multispectral and hyperspectral data) have different imaging mechanisms from RGB natural images. To solve this problem, we introduce new self-supervised learning (SSL) mechanism to obtain the high-performance pre-training model for RSIs scene classification from large unlabeled data. Experiments on three commonly used RSIs scene classification datasets demonstrated that this new learning paradigm outperforms the traditional dominant ImageNet pre-trained model. Moreover, we analyze the impacts of several factors in SSL on RSIs scene classification tasks, including the choice of self-supervised signals, the domain difference between the source and target dataset, and the amount of pre-training data. The insights distilled from our studies can help to foster the development of SSL in the remote sensing community. Since SSL could learn from unlabeled massive RSIs which are extremely easy to obtain, it will be a potentially promising way to alleviate dependence on labeled samples and thus efficiently solve many problems, such as global mapping.

In recent years self-supervised learning has emerged as a promising candidate for unsupervised representation learning. In the visual domain its applications are mostly studied in the context of images of natural scenes. However, its applicability is
especially interesting in specific areas, like remote sensing and medicine, where it is hard to obtain huge amounts of labeled data. In this work, we conduct an extensive analysis of the applicability of self-supervised learning in remote sensing image classification. We analyze the influence of the number and domain of images used for self-supervised pre-training on the performance on downstream tasks. We show that, for the downstream task of remote sensing image classification, using self-supervised pre-training on remote sensing images can give better results than using supervised pre-training on images of natural scenes. Besides, we also show that self-supervised pre-training can be easily extended to multispectral images producing even better results on our downstream tasks.
Defining an efficient training set is one of the most delicate phases for the success of remote sensing image classification routines. The complexity of the problem, the limited temporal and financial resources, as well as the high intraclass varianc
e can make an algorithm fail if it is trained with a suboptimal dataset. Active learning aims at building efficient training sets by iteratively improving the model performance through sampling. A user-defined heuristic ranks the unlabeled pixels according to a function of the uncertainty of their class membership and then the user is asked to provide labels for the most uncertain pixels. This paper reviews and tests the main families of active learning algorithms: committee, large margin and posterior probability-based. For each of them, the most recent advances in the remote sensing community are discussed and some heuristics are detailed and tested. Several challenging remote sensing scenarios are considered, including very high spatial resolution and hyperspectral image classification. Finally, guidelines for choosing the good architecture are provided for new and/or unexperienced user.
Many current deep learning approaches make extensive use of backbone networks pre-trained on large datasets like ImageNet, which are then fine-tuned to perform a certain task. In remote sensing, the lack of comparable large annotated datasets and the
wide diversity of sensing platforms impedes similar developments. In order to contribute towards the availability of pre-trained backbone networks in remote sensing, we devise a self-supervised approach for pre-training deep neural networks. By exploiting the correspondence between geo-tagged audio recordings and remote sensing imagery, this is done in a completely label-free manner, eliminating the need for laborious manual annotation. For this purpose, we introduce the SoundingEarth dataset, which consists of co-located aerial imagery and audio samples all around the world. Using this dataset, we then pre-train ResNet models to map samples from both modalities into a common embedding space, which encourages the models to understand key properties of a scene that influence both visual and auditory appearance. To validate the usefulness of the proposed approach, we evaluate the transfer learning performance of pre-trained weights obtained against weights obtained through other means. By fine-tuning the models on a number of commonly used remote sensing datasets, we show that our approach outperforms existing pre-training strategies for remote sensing imagery. The dataset, code and pre-trained model weights will be available at https://github.com/khdlr/SoundingEarth.
This paper focuses on webly supervised learning (WSL), where datasets are built by crawling samples from the Internet and directly using search queries as web labels. Although WSL benefits from fast and low-cost data collection, noises in web labels
hinder better performance of the image classification model. To alleviate this problem, in recent works, self-label supervised loss $mathcal{L}_s$ is utilized together with webly supervised loss $mathcal{L}_w$. $mathcal{L}_s$ relies on pseudo labels predicted by the model itself. Since the correctness of the web label or pseudo label is usually on a case-by-case basis for each web sample, it is desirable to adjust the balance between $mathcal{L}_s$ and $mathcal{L}_w$ on sample level. Inspired by the ability of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in confidence prediction, we introduce Self-Contained Confidence (SCC) by adapting model uncertainty for WSL setting, and use it to sample-wisely balance $mathcal{L}_s$ and $mathcal{L}_w$. Therefore, a simple yet effective WSL framework is proposed. A series of SCC-friendly regularization approaches are investigated, among which the proposed graph-enhanced mixup is the most effective method to provide high-quality confidence to enhance our framework. The proposed WSL framework has achieved the state-of-the-art results on two large-scale WSL datasets, WebVision-1000 and Food101-N. Code is available at https://github.com/bigvideoresearch/SCC.
To reduce the storage requirements, remote sensing (RS) images are usually stored in compressed format. Existing scene classification approaches using deep neural networks (DNNs) require to fully decompress the images, which is a computationally dema
nding task in operational applications. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a novel approach to achieve scene classification in JPEG 2000 compressed RS images. The proposed approach consists of two main steps: i) approximation of the finer resolution sub-bands of reversible biorthogonal wavelet filters used in JPEG 2000; and ii) characterization of the high-level semantic content of approximated wavelet sub-bands and scene classification based on the learnt descriptors. This is achieved by taking codestreams associated with the coarsest resolution wavelet sub-band as input to approximate finer resolution sub-bands using a number of transposed convolutional layers. Then, a series of convolutional layers models the high-level semantic content of the approximated wavelet sub-band. Thus, the proposed approach models the multiresolution paradigm given in the JPEG 2000 compression algorithm in an end-to-end trainable unified neural network. In the classification stage, the proposed approach takes only the coarsest resolution wavelet sub-bands as input, thereby reducing the time required to apply decoding. Experimental results performed on two benchmark aerial image archives demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly reduces the computational time with similar classification accuracies when compared to traditional RS scene classification approaches (which requires full image decompression).
