• Abstract: In machine learning, the term active learning regroups techniques that aim at selecting the most useful data to label from a large pool of unlabelled examples. While supervised deep learning techniques have shown to be increasingly efficient on many applications, they require a huge number of labelled examples to reach operational performances. Therefore, the labelling effort linked to the creation of the datasets required is also increasing. When working on defense-related remote sensing applications, labelling can be challenging due to the large areas covered and often requires military experts who are rare and whose time is primarily dedicated to operational needs. Limiting the labelling effort is thus of utmost importance. This study aims at reviewing the most relevant active learning techniques to be used for object detection on very high resolution imagery and shows an example of the value of such techniques on a relevant operational use case: aircraft detection.

Key to SST are two crucial observations: (1) domain-agnostic unlabeled images enable us to learn better models with a few labeled examples without any additional knowledge or supervision; and (2) learning is a continuous process and can be done by constructing a schedule of learning updates.

By using a deep learning architecture that integrates region proposals, classification and probability estimation in a single run, we aim at obtaining real-time performance. We apply these algorithms to two industrially relevant applications, one being the detection of promotion boards in eye tracking data and the other detecting and recognizing packages of warehouse products for augmented advertisements.
