• Abstract: Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar can provide meters scale images of the ocean surface roughness day or night in nearly all weather conditions. This makes it a unique asset for many geophysical applications. Sentinel 1 SAR wave mode vignettes have made possible to capture many important oceanic and atmospheric phenomena since 2014. However, considering the amount of data provided, expanding applications requires a strategy to automatically process and extract geophysical parameters. In this study, we propose to apply subaperture decomposition as a preprocessing stage for SAR deep learning models. Our data centring approach surpassed the baseline by 0.7, obtaining state of the art on the TenGeoPSARwv data set. In addition, we empirically showed that subaperture decomposition could bring additional information over the original vignette, by rising the number of clusters for an unsupervised segmentation method. Overall, we encourage the development of data centring approaches, showing that, data preprocessing could bring significant performance improvements over existing deep learning models.

  This work presents TanDepth, a practical, online scale recovery method for obtaining metric depth results from relative estimations at inference-time. Tailored for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, our method leverages sparse measurements from Global Digital Elevation Models (GDEM) by projecting them to the camera view. An adaptation to the Cloth Simulation Filter is presented, which allows selecting ground points from the estimated depth map to then correlate with the projected reference points.

  We propose to distill an entire dataset's knowledge into a few synthetic images. The idea is to synthesize a small number of synthetic data points that, when given to a learning algorithm as training data, result in a model approximating one trained on the original data. We present a new optimization algorithm that distills a large number of images into a few intermediate feature vectors in the generative model's latent space.
