Title
Transferring Ground Level Image Annotations To Aerial And Satellite Scenes By Discriminative Subspace Alignment
Abstract
This paper aims to address the problem of unsupervised scene model adaptation for transferring semantic labels from ground level images to aerial and satellite scenes. Specifically, we present a novel unsupervised domain adaptation algorithm based on subspace alignment. The core idea is to reduce the feature distribution discrepancy between ground view images and overhead view remote sensing images in a latent discriminative subspace. We first generate pseudo-labels for the remote sensing data by applying spectral clustering to a cross-domain similarity matrix, which is built from sparse coefficients found in a low-dimensional latent space. This coarse alignment between the two views exploits the assumption that the collection of data of different classes from both domains can be viewed as samples from a union of low-dimensional subspaces. Then, we create discriminative subspaces for both domains using partial least squares correlation. Finally, a mapping which aligns the discriminative source subspace into the target one is learned by minimizing a Bregman matrix divergence function. Experimental results on aerial-to-satellite, ground-to-aerial and ground-to-satellite scene image data sets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the baselines and several state-of-the-art competing methods.
