Monitoring Mesoscale to Submesoscale Processes in Large Lakes with Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery: The Case of Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari, Mehrshad Foroughan

As in oceans, large-scale coherent circulations such as gyres and eddies are ubiquitous features in large lakes that are subject to the Coriolis force. They play a crucial role in the horizontal and vertical distribution of biological, chemical and physica ...

Humans are Poor Few-Shot Classifiers for Sentinel-2 Land Cover

Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm

Learning to predict accurately from a few data samples is a central challenge in modern data-hungry machine learning. On natural images, human vision typically outperforms deep learning approaches on few-shot learning. However, we hypothesize that aerial a ...

Deep Learning‐based Semantic Segmentation in Remote Sensing

Devis Tuia

Semantic segmentation consists of the generation of a categorical map, given an image in which each pixel of the image is automatically assigned a class. Deep learning allows the influence of the pixel's context to be learned by capturing the non-linear re ...

Multispectral Deep Embeddings As a Countermeasure To Custom Silicone Mask Presentation Attacks

Sébastien Marcel

This work focuses on detecting presentation attacks (PA) mounted using custom silicone masks. Face recognition (FR) systems have been shown to be highly vulnerable to PAs based on such masks [1, 2]. Here we explore the use of multispectral data (color imag ...
