• Abstract: With the progress of Mars exploration, numerous Mars image data are collected and need to be analyzed. However, due to the imbalance and distortion of Martian data, the performance of existing computer vision models is unsatisfactory. In this paper, we introduce a semi-supervised framework for machine vision on Mars and try to resolve two specific tasks: classification and segmentation. Contrastive learning is a powerful representation learning technique. However, there is too much information overlap between Martian data samples, leading to a contradiction between contrastive learning and Martian data. Our key idea is to reconcile this contradiction with the help of annotations and further take advantage of unlabeled data to improve performance. For classification, we propose to ignore inner-class pairs on labeled data as well as neglect negative pairs on unlabeled data, forming supervised inter-class contrastive learning and unsupervised similarity learning. For segmentation, we extend supervised inter-class contrastive learning into an element-wise mode and use online pseudo labels for supervision on unlabeled areas. Experimental results show that our learning strategies can improve the classification and segmentation models by a large margin and outperform state-of-the-art approaches.

  We develop a new model for semantic segmentation of unlabelled images. NEOS performs domain adaptation as the target domain does not have ground truth semantic segmentation masks. The distribution inconsistencies between the target and source domains are due to differences in acquisition scenes, environment conditions, sensors, and times.

  In open-world semi-supervised learning, a machine learning model is tasked with uncovering novel categories from unlabeled data. We introduce 1) the adaptive synchronizing marginal loss which imposes class-specific negative margins to alleviate the model bias towards seen classes, and 2) the pseudo-label contrastive clustering which exploits pseudo-labels predicted by the model to group unlabeled data from the same category together. Our method balances the learning pace between seen and novel classes, achieving a remarkable 3% average accuracy increase on the ImageNet dataset.

• Improving Contrastive Learning on Visually Homogeneous Mars Rover Images [3.206547922373737]
  We show how contrastive learning can be applied to hundreds of thousands of unlabeled Mars terrain images. Contrastive learning assumes that any given pair of distinct images contain distinct semantic content. We propose two approaches to resolve this: 1) an unsupervised deep clustering step on the Mars datasets, which identifies clusters of images containing similar semantic content and corrects false negative errors during training, and 2) a simple approach which mixes data from different domains to increase visual diversity of the total training dataset.

  Mars semantic segmentation is an important Martian vision task, which is the base of rover autonomous planning and safe driving. There is a lack of sufficient detailed and high-confidence data annotations, which are exactly required by most deep learning methods to obtain a good model. We propose our solution from the perspective of joint data and method design. Experimental results show that our method can outperform state-of-the-art SSL approaches remarkably.

  Few-shot learning aims at rapidly adapting to novel categories with only a handful of samples at test time. In this paper, we advance the few-shot classification paradigm towards a more challenging scenario, i.e., cross-granularity few-shot classification. We approximate the fine-grained data distribution by greedy clustering of each coarse-class into pseudo-fine-classes according to the similarity of image embeddings.
