• Abstract summary: This work aims to develop an effective segmentation method which addresses marine oil spill identification in SAR images. We revisit the SAR imaging mechanism in order to attain the probability distribution representation of oil spill SAR images. We then exploit the distribution representation to formulate the segmentation energy functional, by which oil spill characteristics are incorporated.

• Abstract: Segmentation of marine oil spills in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is a challenging task because of the complexity and irregularities in SAR images. In this work, we aim to develop an effective segmentation method which addresses marine oil spill identification in SAR images by investigating the distribution representation of SAR images. To seek effective oil spill segmentation, we revisit the SAR imaging mechanism in order to attain the probability distribution representation of oil spill SAR images, in which the characteristics of SAR images are properly modelled. We then exploit the distribution representation to formulate the segmentation energy functional, by which oil spill characteristics are incorporated to guide oil spill segmentation. Moreover, the oil spill segmentation model contains the oil spill contour regularisation term and the updated level set regularisation term which enhance the representational power of the segmentation energy functional. Benefiting from the synchronisation of SAR image representation and oil spill segmentation, our proposed method establishes an effective oil spill segmentation framework. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed segmentation framework for different types of marine oil spill SAR image segmentation.

  This paper focuses on how to embed the high-dimensional spatial-spectral information of hyperspectral (HS) images efficiently and effectively. We formulate HS embedding as an approximation of the posterior distribution of a set of carefully-defined HS embedding events. Then, we incorporate the proposed feature embedding scheme into a source-consistent super-resolution framework that is physically-interpretable. Experiments over three common benchmark datasets demonstrate that PDE-Net achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a hierarchical conditional flow (HCFlow) as a unified framework for image SR and image rescaling. HCFlow learns a mapping between HR and LR image pairs by modelling the distribution of the LR image and the rest high-frequency component simultaneously. To further enhance the performance, other losses such as perceptual loss and GAN loss are combined with the commonly used negative log-likelihood loss in training.
