• Abstract: Recently, a massive number of deep learning based approaches have been successfully applied to various remote sensing image (RSI) recognition tasks. However, most existing advances of deep learning methods in the RSI field heavily rely on the features extracted by the manually designed backbone network, which severely hinders the potential of deep learning models due the complexity of RSI and the limitation of prior knowledge. In this paper, we research a new design paradigm for the backbone architecture in RSI recognition tasks, including scene classification, land-cover classification and object detection. A novel one-shot architecture search framework based on weight-sharing strategy and evolutionary algorithm is proposed, called RSBNet, which consists of three stages: Firstly, a supernet constructed in a layer-wise search space is pretrained on a self-assembled large-scale RSI dataset based on an ensemble single-path training strategy. Next, the pre-trained supernet is equipped with different recognition heads through the switchable recognition module and respectively fine-tuned on the target dataset to obtain task-specific supernet. Finally, we search the optimal backbone architecture for different recognition tasks based on the evolutionary algorithm without any network training. Extensive experiments have been conducted on five benchmark datasets for different recognition tasks, the results show the effectiveness of the proposed search paradigm and demonstrate that the searched backbone is able to flexibly adapt different RSI recognition tasks and achieve impressive performance.

The presented methodology directly improves a convolutional neural network (CNN) by enforcing the input image structure preservation through auto-encoders. To validate the presented methodology, a simple CNN and various implementations of famous networks are extended via the SIRe strategy and extensively tested on the CIFAR100 dataset.

  Current state-of-the-art visual recognition systems rely on pretraining a neural network on a large-scale dataset and finetuning the network weights on a smaller dataset. In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.

  We encode a skeleton-based action instance into a tensor and define a set of operations to build two types of network cells: normal cells and reduction cells. Experiments on the challenging NTU RGB+D and Kinectics datasets have verified that most of the networks developed to date for skeleton-based action recognition are likely not compact and efficient. The proposed method provides an approach to search for such a compact network that is able to achieve comparative or even better performance than the state-of-the-art methods.
