Multiple-instance learning-based sonar image classification

Abstract: An approach to image labeling by seabed context based on multiple-instance learning via embedded instance selection (MILES) is presented. Sonar images are first segmented into superpixels with associated intensity and texture feature distributions. These superpixels are defined as the… Read More

Environmentally-Adaptive Target Recognition for SAS Imagery

Abstract: Characteristics of underwater targets displayed in synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery vary depending on their environmental context. Discriminative features in sea grass may differ from the features that are discriminative in sand ripple, for example. Environmentally-adaptive target detection and… Read More

Hyperspectral Unmixing with Endmember Variability using Semi-supervised Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation

Abstract: A semi-supervised Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation approach is developed for hyperspectral unmixing and endmember estimation while accounting for spectral variability and spatial information. Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation is an effective approach for spectral unmixing while representing spectral… Read More
