The challenging task of training object detectors for fine-grained classification faces additional difficulties when there are registration errors between the image data and the ground truth. We propose a weakly supervised learning methodology for the classification of 40 types of trees by using fixed-sized multispectral images with a class label but with no exact knowledge of the object location. Our approach consists of an end-to-end trainable convolutional neural network with separate branches for learning class-specific and location-specific scoring of image regions. Comparative experiments show that the proposed method simultaneously learns to detect and classify the objects of interest with high accuracy.

Weakly supervised instance attention for multisource fine-grained object recognition with an application to tree species classification
Aygunes, Bulut; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Aksoy, Selim (2021-06-01)
Multisource image analysis that leverages complementary spectral, spatial, and structural information benefits fine-grained object recognition that aims to classify an object into one of many similar subcategories. However, for multisource tasks that involve relatively small objects, even the smallest registration errors can introduce high uncertainty in the classification process. We approach this problem from a weakly supervised learning perspective in which the input images correspond to larger neighborh...
A Fast shape detection approach by directional integrations
Okman, Osman Erman; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Detection and identification of objects from aerial images are important problems for various types of application areas. For many of the man-made structures shape is a fundamental feature by which these objects are separated from the background and other structures. In this thesis, a novel geometric shape detection algorithm based on the spatial properties of structures is proposed. Since the objects are transformed into 1-D vectors by evaluating directional integrals and detections occur by the analysis o...
Representation Learning for Contextual Object and Region Detection in Remote Sensing
Firat, Orhan; Can, Gulcan; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2014-08-28)
The performance of object recognition and classification on remote sensing imagery is highly dependent on the quality of extracted features, amount of labelled data and the priors defined for contextual models. In this study, we examine the representation learning opportunities for remote sensing. First we attacked localization of contextual cues for complex object detection using disentangling factors learnt from a small amount of labelled data. The complex object, which consists of several sub-parts is fu...
Automatic target recognition and detection in infrared imagery under cluttered background
GÜNDOĞDU, ERHAN; KOÇ, AYKUT; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2017-09-14)
Visual object classification has long been studied in visible spectrum by utilizing conventional cameras. Since the labeled images has recently increased in number, it is possible to train deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with significant amount of parameters. As the infrared (IR) sensor technology has been improved during the last two decades, labeled images extracted from IR sensors have been started to be used for object detection and recognition tasks. We address the problem of infrared object ...
Dry Dock Detection in Satellite Images with Representation Learning
Aktaş, Ümit Ruşen; Firat, Orhan; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-04-26)
In this study, we propose a method to detect dry docks, a harbour man-made object which is hard to recognize, using representation learning in satellite images. Dry docks are coastal structures which may include ships for repairing purposes, and they exist in harbour regions. The search space is pruned by making use of two low-level features that invariantly define docks, and remaining samples are used to train a representation learning system. Experimental results suggest that classification methods using ...
