Remote sensing and vision problems under adverse imaging conditions (Invited Paper)

23 April 2024 • 11:10 AM - 11:50 AM EDT | National Harbor 5

Abstract

Remotes sensing and vision problems like object detection and recognition from various active and passive sensors are of great value to many DoD use cases. Usually due to sensor or communication link limitations the images received are of low resolution, quality and have compression artifacts. To combat this we developed a new direct vision task feature pyramid recovery with a joint frequency and pixel domain neural learning approach. It had many successes in problems like ATR from low resolution SAR and EO images, joint delburring and target detection, as well as the very low bit rate complex SAR image compression for phase recovery.
