Sea-Land Segmentation of Remote Sensing Images Based on SDW-UNet

Image segmentation of sea-land remote sensing images is of great importance for downstream applications including shoreline extraction,the monitoring of near-shore marine environment,and near-shore target recognition.To mitigate large number of parameters and improve the segmentation accuracy,we propose a new Squeeze-Depth-Wise UNet(SDW-UNet)deep learning model for sea-land remote sensing image segmentation.The proposed SDW-UNet model leverages the squeeze-excitation and depth-wise separable convolution to construct new convolution modules,which enhance the model capacity in combining multiple channels and reduces the model parameters.We further explore the effect of position-encoded information in NLP(Natural Language Processing)domain on sea-land segmentation task.We have conducted extensive experiments to compare the proposed network with the mainstream segmentation network in terms of accuracy,the number of parameters and the time cost for prediction.The test results on remote sensing data sets of Guam,Okinawa,Taiwan China,San Diego,and Diego Garcia demonstrate the effectiveness of SDW-UNet in recognizing different types of sea-land areas with a smaller number of parameters,reduces prediction time cost and improves performance over other mainstream segmentation models.We also show that the position encoding can further improve the accuracy of model segmentation.

FPGA-Based Network Traffic Security: Design and Implementation Using C5.0 Decision Tree Classifier

In this work, a hardware intrusion detection system （IDS） model and its implementation are introduced to perform online real-time traffic monitoring and analysis. The introduced system gathers some advantages of many IDSs： hardware based from implementation point of view, network based from system type point of view, and anomaly detection from detection approach point of view. In addition, it can detect most of network attacks, such as denial of services （DOS）, leakage, etc. from detection behavior point of view and can detect both internal and external intruders from intruder type point of view. Gathering these features in one IDS system gives lots of strengths and advantages of the work. The system is implemented by using field programmable gate array （FPGA）, giving a more advantages to the system. A C5.0 decision tree classifier is used as inference engine to the system and gives a high detection ratio of 99.93%.

Fast CU Partition for VVC Using Texture Complexity Classification Convolutional Neural Network

Versatile video coding(H.266/VVC),which was newly released by the Joint Video Exploration Team(JVET),introduces quad-tree plus multitype tree(QTMT)partition structure on the basis of quad-tree(QT)partition structure in High Efficiency Video Coding(H.265/HEVC).More complicated coding unit(CU)partitioning processes in H.266/VVC significantly improve video compression efficiency,but greatly increase the computational complexity compared.The ultra-high encoding complexity has obstructed its real-time applications.In order to solve this problem,a CU partition algorithm using convolutional neural network(CNN)is proposed in this paper to speed up the H.266/VVC CU partition process.Firstly,64×64 CU is divided into smooth texture CU,mildly complex texture CU and complex texture CU according to the CU texture characteristics.Second,CU texture complexity classification convolutional neural network(CUTCC-CNN)is proposed to classify CUs.Finally,according to the classification results,the encoder is guided to skip different RDO search process.And optimal CU partition results will be determined.Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the average coding time by 32.2%with only 0.55%BD-BR loss compared with VTM 10.2.

Remote Sensing Plateau Forest Segmentation with Boundary Preserving Double Loss Function Collaborative Learning

Plateau forest plays an important role in the high-altitude ecosystem,and contributes to the global carbon cycle.Plateau forest monitoring request in-suit data from field investigation.With recent development of the remote sensing technic,large-scale satellite data become available for surface monitoring.Due to the various information contained in the remote sensing data,obtain accurate plateau forest segmentation from the remote sensing imagery still remain challenges.Recent developed deep learning(DL)models such as deep convolutional neural network(CNN)has been widely used in image processing tasks,and shows possibility for remote sensing segmentation.However,due to the unique characteristics and growing environment of the plateau forest,generate feature with high robustness needs to design structures with high robustness.Aiming at the problem that the existing deep learning segmentation methods are difficult to generate the accurate boundary of the plateau forest within the satellite imagery,we propose a method of using boundary feature maps for collaborative learning.There are three improvements in this article.First,design a multi input model for plateau forest segmentation,including the boundary feature map as an additional input label to increase the amount of information at the input.Second,we apply a strong boundary search algorithm to obtain boundary value,and propose a boundary value loss function.Third,improve the Unet segmentation network and combine dense block to improve the feature reuse ability and reduces the image information loss of the model during training.We then demonstrate the utility of our method by detecting plateau forest regions from ZY-3 satellite regarding to Sanjiangyuan nature reserve.The experimental results show that the proposed method can utilize multiple feature information comprehensively which is beneficial to extracting information from boundary,and the detection accuracy is generally higher than several state-of-art algorithms.As a result of this investigation,the study will contribute in several ways to our understanding of DL for region detection and will provide a basis for further researches.
