Histogram Layers For Texture Analysis
Abstract: We present a histogram layer for artificial neural networks (ANNs). An essential aspect of texture analysis is the extraction of features that describe the distribution of values in local spatial regions. The proposed histogram layer directly computes the spatial… Read More

DIVERGENCE REGULATED ENCODER NETWORK FOR JOINT DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION AND CLASSIFICATION
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate performing joint dimensionality reduction and classification using a novel histogram neural network. Motivated by a popular dimensionality reduction approach, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), our proposed method incorporates a classification loss computed on samples… Read More

EXPLAINABLE SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS FOR SYNTHETIC APERTURE SONAR IMAGERY
Abstract: In this work, we present an in-depth and systematic analysis using tools such as local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) and divergence measures to analyze what changes lead to improvement in performance in fine tuned models for synthetic aperture sonar… Read More
A REMOTE SENSING DERIVED DATA SET OF 100 MILLION INDIVIDUAL TREE CROWNS FOR THE NATIONAL ECOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY NETWORK
Abstract: Forests provide biodiversity, ecosystem, and economic services. Information on individual trees is important for understanding forest ecosystems but obtaining individual-level data at broad scales is challenging due to the costs and logistics of data collection. While advances in remote… Read More
