• Abstract: The accurate characterization of the severity of the wildfire event strongly contributes to the characterization of the fuel conditions in fire-prone areas, and provides valuable information for disaster response. The aim of this study is to develop an autonomous system built on top of high-resolution multispectral satellite imagery, with an advanced deep learning method for detecting burned area change. This work proposes an initial exploration of using an unsupervised model for feature extraction in wildfire scenarios. It is based on the contrastive learning technique SimCLR, which is trained to minimize the cosine distance between augmentations of images. The distance between encoded images can also be used for change detection. We propose changes to this method that allows it to be used for unsupervised burned area detection and following downstream tasks. We show that our proposed method outperforms the tested baseline approaches.

  We propose a Difusion-based Anomaly Detection (DiAD) framework for multi-class anomaly detection.

  In this paper, we provide a systematic analysis of backdoor attacks for remote sensing data. We propose a novel wavelet transform-based attack (WABA) method, which can achieve invisible attacks by injecting the trigger image into the poisoned image. Despite its simplicity, the proposed method can significantly cheat the current state-of-the-art deep learning models with a high attack success rate.

  We propose a method for detecting structural changes in a city using images captured from mounted cameras over two different times. A direct comparison of the two point clouds for change detection is not ideal due to inaccurate geo-location information. To circumvent this problem, we propose a deep learning-based non-rigid registration on the point clouds. Experiments show that our method is able to detect scene changes effectively, even in the presence of viewpoint and illumination differences.
