Compressive sampling based on frequency saliency for remote sensing imaging

Abstract

In saliency-based compressive sampling (CS) for remote sensing image signals, the saliency information of images is used to allocate more sensing resources to salient regions than to non-salient regions. However, the pulsed cosine transform method can generate large errors in the calculation of saliency information because it uses only the signs of the coefficients of the discrete cosine transform for low-resolution images. In addition, the reconstructed images can exhibit blocking effects because blocks are used as the processing units in CS. In this work, we propose a post-transform frequency saliency CS method that utilizes transformed post-wavelet coefficients to calculate the frequency saliency information of images in the post-wavelet domain. Specifically, the wavelet coefficients are treated as the pixels of a block-wise megapixel sensor. Experiments indicate that the proposed method yields better-quality images and outperforms conventional saliency-based methods in three aspects: peak signal-to-noise ratio, mean structural similarity index, and visual information fidelity.

Compression of hyper-spectral images using an accelerated nonnegative tensor decomposition

“…The results shows the PSNR of our method is higher than other methods, which means the proposed method has the better compression performance because it can remove redundancies between spectrum bands and also exploit spatial correlations of each band. In future re- search, the computation complexity can be reduced further by introducing compressive sensing [18] into the proposed method, as well as improving processing speed by the use of graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerated computing [19][20][21].…”

Ship Target Automatic Detection Based on Hypercomplex Flourier Transform Saliency Model in High Spatial Resolution Remote-Sensing Images

“…With the development of remote-sensing technology, the quality of remote-sensing images acquired has become very high, while the high spatial-resolution remote-sensing images are increasingly used in various fields [1,2]. Therefore, it is also very useful to achieve important strategic target recognition on remote-sensing images (e.g., ships, airports, aircraft, etc.)…”

Efficient camera self-calibration method for remote sensing photogrammetry

“…In the proposed method, the microtransceiver can be easily integrated into the internal structure of RSCs allowing the calibration independently on external ground control targets. The proposed method has a potential use in on-orbit high resolution cameras [49][50][51]. In the future, some advanced fabrication technologies, such as high-resolution patterning [52], and optical devices, such as optically addressed spatial light modulators [53], will be used to obtain new microtransceivers for RSCs.…”
