Artificial Intelligence to Advance Earth Observation: A review of models, recent trends, and pathways forward

Devis Tuia

Earth observation (EO) is increasingly used for mapping and monitoring processes occurring at the surface of Earth. Data acquired by satellites nowadays allow us to have a global view, consistent in time, of the state of our forests, oceans, and growing ur ...

Blue ice in Antarctica: The gateway to travel in time and space

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Antarctica has unique areas that expose blue ice, which contrast to most of the continent (~98%) that is covered by snow. Some of these blue ice areas (BIAs) contain meteorite concentrations and (very) old ice, making them very valuable for understanding o ...

Discovering relevant spatial filterbanks for VHR image classification

Devis Tuia

In very high resolution (VHR) image classification it is common to use spatial filters to enhance the discrimination among landuses related to similar spectral properties but different spatial characteristics. However, the filters types that can be used ar ...

Wasserstein Adversarial Regularization for learning with label noise

Devis Tuia

Noisy labels often occur in vision datasets, especially when they are obtained from crowdsourcing or Web scraping. We propose a new regularization method, which enables learning robust classifiers in presence of noisy data. To achieve this goal, we propose ...

Multi-Scale Grouped Prototypes for Interpretable Semantic Segmentation

Devis Tuia, Emanuele Dalsasso, Hugo Laurent Pascal Porta

Prototypical part learning is emerging as a promising approach for making semantic segmentation interpretable. The model selects real patches seen during training as prototypes and constructs the dense prediction map based on the similarity between parts o ...

Remote sensing visual question answering with a self-attention multi-modal encoder

Devis Tuia

Visual Question Answering (VQA) on remote sensing imagery can help non-expert users in extracting information from Earth observation data. Current approaches follow a neural encoder-decoder design, combining convolutional and recurrent encoders together wi ...

Self-Supervised Pretraining and Controlled Augmentation Improve Rare Wildlife Recognition in UAV Images

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Automated animal censuses with aerial imagery are a vital ingredient towards wildlife conservation. Recent models are generally based on deep learning and thus require vast amounts of training data. Due to their scarcity and minuscule size, annotating anim ...
