Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep learning has developed rapidly in recent years. With the great improvement of computing power, many ideas of deep learning have been realized. However, deep learning has a disadvantage: it requires a large number of samples to train in order to achieve better generalization. But for many applications, it is not easy to obtain sufficient and high-quality data to model such problems. Furthermore, because many of the models we have established lack common sense, they do not have the knowledge of the human world, so they are easily attacked. Compared with machines, humans rely on prior knowledge of the target (such as visual information, context layout, etc.), and can easily and efficiently find the target object in an unknown dynamic environment. In order to solve these problems, additional prior knowledge is incorporated into the training process of the model. Prior knowledge plays a role in guiding and constraining the learning process of the model. By incorporating prior knowledge into the model, we can learn and understand the data more effectively and improve the performance and generalization ability of the model. The aim of this topic is to provide high-quality, up-to-date approaches to process remote sensing images. The key point is to develop efficient remote sensing image processing technology based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks. Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  1. Deep learning based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  2. Image classification based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  3. Target detection based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  4. Prior knowledge-driven neural networks for environmental monitoring;
  5. Prior knowledge-driven deep learning networks for image recovery;
  6. Intelligent navigation based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  7. Remote sensing image registration based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  8. Intelligent image segmentation based on prior knowledge-driven neural networks;
  9. Intelligent target positioning and precise guidance.

Data and reports indicate an increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters worldwide. Buildings play a crucial role in disaster responses and damage assessments, aiding in planning rescue efforts and evaluating losses. Despite advances in applying deep learning to building extraction, challenges remain in handling complex natural disaster scenes and reducing reliance on labeled datasets. Recent advances in satellite video are opening a new avenue for efficient and accurate building extraction research. By thoroughly mining the characteristics of disaster video data, this work provides a new semantic segmentation model for accurate and efficient building extraction based on a limited number of training data, which consists of two parts: the prediction module and the automatic correction module. The prediction module, based on a base encoder–decoder structure, initially extracts buildings using a limited amount of training data that are obtained instantly. Then, the automatic correction module takes the output of the prediction module as input, constructs a criterion for identifying pixels with erroneous semantic information, and uses optical flow values to extract the accurate corresponding semantic information on the corrected frame. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods in accuracy and computational complexity in complicated natural disaster scenes. Full article
