Title
Vehicle Detection in Remote Sensing Images Leveraging on Simultaneous Super-Resolution
Abstract
Owing to the relatively small size of vehicles in remote sensing images, lacking sufficient detailed appearance to distinguish vehicles from similar objects, the detection performance is still far from satisfactory compared with the detection results on everyday images. Inspired by the positive effects of super-resolution convolutional neural network (SRCNN) for object detection and the stunning success of deep CNN techniques, we apply generative adversarial network frameworks to realize simultaneous SRCNN and vehicle detection in an end-to-end manner, and the detection loss is backpropagated into the SRCNN during training to facilitate detection. In particular, our work is unsupervised and bypasses the requirement of low-/high-resolution image pairs during the training stage, achieving increased generality and applicability. Extensive experiments on representative data sets demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art detectors. (The source code will be made available after the review process.)
