Abstract
Objective Object localization and parameter extraction have been one of the vital applications for remote sensing image interpretation and the basis of information extraction nowadays. The acquired accuracy is the key factor to improve the accuracy of information inversion. As a typical man-made object with circle shape in remote sensing image, the high-precision localization and parameter extraction of floating roof oil tank have been the representative application issues. The elevation of the top cover of the floating roof oil tank has been fluctuated up and down with the change of oil storage volume. The remote sensing image of the oil tank has presented different circle shadows and multiple circle areas in terms of the elevation change. The localization and parameter extraction analysis of the oil tank has referred to the measurement of the center position of the tank roof, the center position of the circular-arc-shaped shadow cast has projected by the sunshine on the floating roof and the radius of the oil tank image, which is of great significance for the inversion of the oil tank structure and the oil storage information. However, the distribution and overlapping characteristics of circles in oil tank images have related to many factors, such as illumination, cloud cover, satellite observation and imaging conditions, background environment, side wall occlusion and so on. Therefore, for localization and parameter extraction of floating roof oil tank, it is necessary to develop a localization and parameter extraction method to adapt with circle shaped objects. The traditional parameterized feature extraction method has included Hough transform and template matching. The emerging deep learning method has been developed recently. Traditional parameterized feature extraction method can make effective use of the circumference feature with the non-learnable and the poor applicability of parameters. The lower automation has relied on priori knowledge to adjust parameters manually. The method based on deep learning has its advantages to use the training of the existing labeled images to solve the parameters of the network, which improves the degree of automation. For objects with circular structure, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can predict the radius and get accurate location of the circle center. The disadvantages have been described as follows:First, the main feature of an object with circular structure such as oil tank is on the circumference, but not in the circle. The neural networks need to traverse all the pixels, which leads to redundant computation and a low processing efficiency. Next, CNN has increased the receptive field and aggregated the spatial features via cascading networks subject to the receptive field. At last, abundant training samples requirement has not existed in traditional parameterized feature extraction method. This research has proposed a method of low calculation and high precision by combining the traditional feature extraction method with deep learning to resolve the problem of localization and parameter extraction of oil tank in remote sensing images, which no longer needs to sacrifice resolution or increase the network. Method A CNN has been constructed via fast radial symmetry transform (FRST). The training process and parameter has been sorted out. The image is processed by FRST and the original image and the processed image are superimposed as two channels of the image into a new dual channel image, which is input into the designed CNN for processing. The result has been compared with the result of the single channel original image into the same CNN for processing. The experiment is based on a self-made dataset of SkySat satellite data, compared under two CNN architectures, and ran once under two fixed random seeds. This method has illustrated the priori knowledge of circular feature into the deep learning process effectively. Low-computational complexity has been presented. High-precision localization based on relatively few layers of network has been realized. Result The experimental results have shown that the accuracy of the proposed method is effectively improved at the same network level and the average prediction error is reduced by 17.42%. Moreover, the prediction error has been decreased by 19.19% on average in the shallower network. In the deeper network, the prediction error has been deducted by 15.66% on average. Conclusion This research has demonstrated the transform domain features combined with deep learning to improve the accuracy of the localization and parameter extraction of oil tank in remote sensing images effectively.
