Pan-sharpening aims at fusing a low-resolution (LR) multi-spectral (MS) image and a high-resolution (HR) panchromatic (PAN) image acquired by a satellite to generate an HR MS image. Many deep learning based methods have been developed in the past few years. However, since there are no intended HR MS images as references for learning, almost all of the existing methods down-sample the MS and PAN images and regard the original MS images as targets to form a supervised setting for training. These methods may perform well on the down-scaled images, however, they generalize poorly to the full-resolution images. To conquer this problem, we design an unsupervised framework that is able to learn directly from the full-resolution images without any preprocessing. The model is built based on a novel generative multi-adversarial network. We use a twostream generator to extract the modality-specific features from the PAN and MS images, respectively, and develop a dualdiscriminator to preserve the spectral and spatial information of the inputs when performing fusion. Furthermore, a novel loss function is introduced to facilitate training under the unsupervised setting. Experiments and comparisons with other stateof-the-art methods on GaoFen-2, QuickBird and WorldView-3 images demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain much better fusion results on the full-resolution images.

The sound-detection method of trunk borer is a very promising method in the field of forestry prevention and control of trunk borers. However, the detection accuracy of commonly used algorithms often decreases sharply in the case of noise reverberation interference. In practical applications, the sound monitoring of trunk borers often takes place in a harsh acoustic environment. To solve this problem, we intend to introduce methods which are effective in other related acoustic fields. Unfortunately, most of the methods are not suitable for acoustic detection of trunk borers and perform extremely poorly. After trying various methods, we found that Power-Normalized Cepstral Coefficients (PNCC) performed well in some cases, while it did not in others. This is due to the difference between speech and trunk borer sound. Therefore, an improved anti-noise PNCC based on wavelet package is proposed. The dmey wavlet system always obtains the best performance. We collected the audio of the following five dry borer pests for testing. They are red palm weevil, mountain pine beetle, red necked longicorn, Asian longhorn beetle and citrus longhorn beetle. In the experimental part, we used genetic algorithm-support vector machine (GA-SVM) as a classifier to compare Mel Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), which are the most common methods in the field of audio detection of trunk borer, PNCC and improved PNCC in a variety of noise environments. The results showed that, compared with other methods, the newly proposed method can often achieve better results. The above experiments take the audio clips made of clear pest sound mixed noise. In order to further verify the effectiveness of the method, we designed another experiment with a harsh outdoor acoustic environment. We found that the proposed method achieved 88% accuracy and the traditional PNCC achieved 78% accuracy. However, the Mel cepstrum coefficient completely lost its ability to distinguish. In sum, the proposed PNCC based on wavelet packet decomposition can be used as a detection method for trunk borer in the harsh acoustic environment. This method has many advantages, including simple extraction and strong robustness to noise. Combined with cheap audio acquisition equipment, this method can effectively improve the early warning ability of forestry borer pests.
