High-resolution (HR) remote sensing images are characterized by rich and detailed ground object information with more complex structures of the ground object which make the interference information is more difficult to process. It has always been the focus of domestic and foreign researchers that how to obtain more accurate and higher quality ground object information from these images. The GF-4, the world's first geostationary orbit with high spatial resolution remote sensing satellite, can provide high temporal resolution, large width and 50m pixel resolution of remote sensing data by using area array imaging technology. However, the GF-4 image is a medium resolution and low resolution (LR) image data with relatively vague details of ground objects and not obvious relationships between objects which limit the acquisition of the ground object information to some extent. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the influence of various factors in the imaging process and construct an image degradation model according to the characteristics of GF-4 satellite images. We adopted the super resolved (SR) method based on Mixed sparse representations (MSR) to increase the spatial resolution of the GF-4 image by twice as much, which not only enriched the detailed information of the image, but also improved the image quality. For the results of SR of GF-4 imagery, we adopted the Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) method to perform image classification test and result verification. The experimental area selected in this paper is Yantai City, Shandong Province, China, the LANDSAT 8 OLI data is used as a training sample to calculate the overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient after classification. The results show that the overall accuracy of the superreconstructed result data is 40% higher than that of the source image data from GF-4, especially when the spectral characteristics of the ground objects are obviously different, the accuracy is more obvious. The Kappa coefficient increased 0.4, the extracted outline is more complete and the classification details are more refined.
Image information onboard processing is one o f important technology to rapidly achieve intelligence for remote sensing satellites. As a typical target, aircraft onboard detection has been getting more attention. In this paper, we propose an efficient method of aircraft detection for remote sensing satellite onboard processing. According to the feature of aircraft performance in remote sensing image, the detection algorithm consists of two steps: First Salient Object Detection (SOD) is employed to reduce the amount of calculation on large remote sensing image. SOD uses Gabor filtering and a simple binary test between pixels in a filtered image. White points are connected as regions. Plane candidate regions are screened from white regions by area, length and width of connected region. Next a new algorithm, called Circumferential Information Matching method, is used to detect aircraft on candidate regions. The results of tests show circumference curve around the plane center is stable shape, so the candidate region can be accurately detecting with this feature. In order to rotation invariant, we use circle matched filter to detect target. And discrete fast Fourier transform (DFFT) is used to accelerate and reduce calculation. Experiments show the detection accuracy rate of proposed algorithm is 90% with less than 0.5s processing time. In addition, the calculation of the proposed method through quantitative anglicized is very small. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the proposed method is reasonable and highly-efficient.
