- Abstract summary: This study delves into the emergent characteristics of the Self-Distillation with No Labels (DINO) algorithm and its application to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery.
We pre-train a vision transformer (ViT)-based DINO model using unlabeled SAR data, and later fine-tune the model to predict high-resolution land cover maps.
We show that ViT attention maps hold great intrinsic value for remote sensing, and could provide useful inputs to other algorithms.

- Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) models have recently demonstrated remarkable
performance across various tasks, including image segmentation. This study
delves into the emergent characteristics of the Self-Distillation with No
Labels (DINO) algorithm and its application to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
imagery. We pre-train a vision transformer (ViT)-based DINO model using
unlabeled SAR data, and later fine-tune the model to predict high-resolution
land cover maps. We rigorously evaluate the utility of attention maps generated
by the ViT backbone and compare them with the model's token embedding space. We
observe a small improvement in model performance with pre-training compared to
training from scratch and discuss the limitations and opportunities of SSL for
remote sensing and land cover segmentation. Beyond small performance increases,
we show that ViT attention maps hold great intrinsic value for remote sensing,
and could provide useful inputs to other algorithms. With this, our work lays
the groundwork for bigger and better SSL models for Earth Observation.
