Data compression techniques are classified into four categories which describe the effect a method has on form of signal transmitted. Each category is defined and examples in each given. Compression methods have received previous investigation, such as geometric aperture methods, well not much attention, Fourier filter, optimum discrete variable sampling rate compression, described. Results computer simulations with real data presented for terms rms peak errors versus ratio. It shown that,...

Currently, the amount of collected Earth Observation (EO) data is increasing considerably with a rate several Terabytes per day. As consequence this volume, new concepts for exploration and information retrieval are urgently needed. To end, we propose to explore satellite image via an mining (IIM) approach in which main steps feature extraction, classification, semantic annotation, interactive query processing.

Quantum Machine Learning (QML) models promise to have some computational (or quantum) advantage for classifying supervised datasets (e.g., satellite images) over conventional Deep (DL) techniques due their expressive power via local effective dimension. There are, however, two main challenges regardless of the promised quantum advantage: 1) Currently available bits (qubits) are very small in number, while real-world characterized by hundreds high-dimensional elements ( <italic...

In this paper, we consider the problem of remote sensing image classification, in which feature extraction and coding are critical steps. Various methods aim at an abstract discriminative representation. Most them either theoretically too complex or practically infeasible to compute for large datasets. Motivated by observation, propose a simple yet efficient method within bag-of-words (BoW) framework. It has two main innovations. First most interestingly, does not need any local extraction;...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image change detection is playing an important role in various Earth Observation (EO) applications. There exists a large number of different methods that have been proposed to address this issue. However, due the fact several kinds changes with diverse characteristics can arise SAR images, there no consensus on their performances because most evaluated using data sets, probably facing changes, but without in-depth analysis changes. Therefore, two problems...

We propose a multilevel semantics discovery approach for bridging the semantic gap when mining high-resolution polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) remote sensing images. First, an Entropy/Anisotropy/Alpha-Wishart classifier is employed to discover low-level as classes representing physical scattering properties of targets (e.g., low-entropy/surface scattering/high anisotropy). Then, images are tiled into patches and each patch modeled bag-of-words, histogram class labels. Next,...
