    (ELSEVIER, 2024) han, lirong; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Haut, Juan M.; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8613-7037; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    The diversity of remote sensing (RS) image modalities has expanded alongside advancements in RS technologies. A plethora of optical, multispectral, and hyperspectral RS images offer rich geographic class information. The ability to swiftly access multiple RS image modalities is crucial for fully harnessing the potential of RS imagery. In this work, an innovative method, called Deep Shared Proxy Construction Hashing (DSPCH), is introduced for cross-modal hyperspectral scene target retrieval using accessible RS images such as optical and sketch. Initially, a shared proxy hash code is generated in the hash space for each land use class. Subsequently, an end-to-end deep hash network is built to generate hash codes for hyperspectral pixels and accessible RS images. Furthermore, a proxy hash loss function is designed to optimize the proposed deep hashing network, aiming to generate hash codes that closely resemble the corresponding proxy hash code. Finally, two benchmark datasets are established for cross-modal hyperspectral and accessible RS image retrieval, allowing us to conduct extensive experiments with these datasets. Our experimental results validate that the novel DSPCH method can efficiently and effectively achieve RS image cross-modal target retrieval, opening up new avenues in the field of cross-modal RS image retrieval

    (Springer, 2021-02-03) Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; X. Tao; Haut, Juan Mario; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    Hyperspectral images (HSIs) record scenes at different wavelength channels, providing detailed spatial and spectral information. How to storage and process this highdimensional data plays a vital role in many practical applications, where classification technologies have emerged as excellent processing tools. However, their high computational complexity and energy requirements bring some challenges. Adopting low-power consumption architectures and deep learning (DL) approaches has to provide acceptable computing capabilities without reducing accuracy demand. However, most DL architectures employ single-precision (FP32) to train models, and some big DL architectures will have a limitation on memory and computation resources. This can negatively affect the network learning process. This letter leads these challenges by using mixed precision into DL architectures for HSI classification to speed up the training process and reduce the memory consumption/access. Proposed models are evaluated on four widely used data sets. Also, low and highpower consumption devices are compared, considering NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Titan RTX GPUs, to evaluate the proposal viability in on-board processing devices. Obtained results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of these models within HSI classification task for both devices. Source codes: https ://githu b.com/mhaut / CNN-MP-HSI.

    (IEEE, 2024) Haut, Juan M.; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Pastor Vargas, Rafael; Pérez García, Ámbar; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4089-9538; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2943-6348; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729
    Spectral indices are of fundamental importance in providing insights into the distinctive characteristics of oil spills, making them indispensable tools for effective action planning. The normalized difference oil index (NDOI) is a reliable metric and suitable for the detection of coastal oil spills, effectively leveraging the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectral bands offered by commercial sensors. The present study explores the calculation of NDOI with a primary focus on leveraging remotely sensed imagery with rich spectral data. This undertaking necessitates a robust infrastructure to handle and process large datasets, thereby demanding significant memory resources and ensuring scalability. To overcome these challenges, a novel cloud-based approach is proposed in this study to conduct the distributed implementation of the NDOI calculation. This approach offers an accessible and intuitive solution, empowering developers to harness the benefits of cloud platforms. The evaluation of the proposal is conducted by assessing its performance using the scene acquired by the airborne visible infrared imaging spectrometer (AVIRIS) sensor during the 2010 oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The catastrophic nature of the event and the subsequent challenges underscore the importance of remote sensing (RS) in facilitating decision-making processes. In this context, cloud-based approaches have emerged as a prominent technological advancement in the RS field. The experimental results demonstrate noteworthy performance by the proposed cloud-based approach and pave the path for future research for fast decision-making applications in scalable environments.

    Self-Supervised Learning on Small In-Domain Datasets Can Overcome Supervised Learning in Remote Sensing
    (IEEE, 2024) Sanchez-Fernandez, Andres J.; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Tabik, Siham; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6743-3570; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4093-5356
    The availability of high-resolution satellite images has accelerated the creation of new datasets designed to tackle broader remote sensing (RS) problems. Although popular tasks, such as scene classification, have received significant attention, the recent release of the Land-1.0 RS dataset marks the initiation of endeavors to estimate land-use and land-cover (LULC) fraction values per RGB satellite image. This challenging problem involves estimating LULC composition, i.e., the proportion of different LULC classes from satellite imagery, with major applications in environmental monitoring, agricultural/urban planning, and climate change studies. Currently, supervised deep learning models—the state-of-the-art in image classification—require large volumes of labeled training data to provide good generalization. To face the challenges posed by the scarcity of labeled RS data, self-supervised learning (SSL) models have recently emerged, learning directly from unlabeled data by leveraging the underlying structure. This is the first article to investigate the performance of SSL in LULC fraction estimation on RGB satellite patches using in-domain knowledge. We also performed a complementary analysis on LULC scene classification. Specifically, we pretrained Barlow Twins, MoCov2, SimCLR, and SimSiam SSL models with ResNet-18 using the Sentinel2GlobalLULC small RS dataset and then performed transfer learning to downstream tasks on Land-1.0. Our experiments demonstrate that SSL achieves competitive or slightly better results when trained on a smaller high-quality in-domain dataset of 194 877 samples compared to the supervised model trained on ImageNet-1k with 1 281 167 samples. This outcome highlights the effectiveness of SSL using in-distribution datasets, demonstrating efficient learning with fewer but more relevant data.

    (Springer, 2020) Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Díaz Martín, Juan Carlos; Lastovetsky, Alexey L.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8435-3844; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9460-3897
    Ensuring applications to achieve an efficient usage of resources and fast execution time in the complex current heterogeneous high-performance computing platforms is a paramount problem. Essential efforts to reach the goal are the optimal partitioning of the data space between the processes composing a typical task/data-parallel application, and their right mapping and deployment on the platform. The computational and communication performance modeling describing the platform and the application behaviors is an increasingly recognized approach. This paper discusses the utility of the τ–Lop analytic communication performance model in facing these issues and contributes with a practical symbolic computation tool that represents, manipulates and accurately evaluates the formal communication cost expression derived from a hybrid kernel. We identify a set of scenarios where the tool could be applied, provide with both basic and advanced use examples and evaluate the tool on real-life kernels.

    Hashing for Retrieving Long-Tailed Distributed Remote Sensing Images
    (IEEE, 2024) han, lirong; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Haut, Juan M.; Pastor Vargas, Rafael; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8613-7037; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4089-9538; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    The widespread availability of remotely sensed datasets establishes a cornerstone for comprehensive image retrieval within the realm of remote sensing (RS). In response, the investigation into hashing-driven retrieval methods garners significance, enabling proficient image acquisition within such extensive data magnitudes. Nevertheless, the used datasets in practical applications are invariably less desirable and with long-tailed distribution. The primary hurdle pertains to the substantial discrepancy in class volumes. Moreover, commonly utilized RS datasets for hashing tasks encompass approximately two–three dozen classes. However, real-world datasets exhibit a randomized number of classes, introducing a challenging variability. This article proposes a new centripetal intensive attention hashing (CIAH) mechanism based on intensive attention features for long-tailed distribution RS image retrieval. Specifically, an intensive attention module (IAM) is adopted to enhance the significant features to facilitate the subsequent generation of representative hash codes. Furthermore, to deal with the inherent imbalance of long-tailed distributed datasets, the utilization of a centripetal loss function is introduced. This endeavor constitutes the inaugural effort toward long-tailed distributed RS image retrieval. In pursuit of this objective, a collection of long-tail datasets is meticulously curated using four widely recognized RS datasets, subsequently disseminated as benchmark datasets. The selected fundamental datasets contain 7, 25, 38, and 45 land-use classes to mimic different real RS datasets. Conducted experiments demonstrate that the proposed methodology attains a performance benchmark that surpasses currently existing methodologies.

    Performance evaluation of model-driven partitioning algorithms for data-parallel kernels on heterogeneous platforms
    (Wiley, 2019) Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Díaz Martín, Juan Carlos; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Calvo Jurado, Carmen; García Zapata, Juan Luis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8435-3844; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-081X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1419-1672
    Data- parallel applications running on heterogeneous high-performance computing platforms require a nonuniform distribution of the workload between available processes. Data partitioning algorithms are formulated as an optimization problem. Departing from the computational performance models of the processes, the goal is to find the partition that minimizes the communication cost. Traditionally, communication volume is the metric used to guide the partitioning. This metric, however, is unable to capture the complexity of current heterogeneous systems, which show uneven communication channels and execute applications with different communication patterns. In this paper, we discuss the role of analytical communication performance models as a metric in partitioning algorithms. First, we describe a method to programmatically predict the communication cost of a data-parallel kernel based on the τ-Lop analytical model. We show that this figure better captures the communication features of applications and platforms. We present results showing that this approach builds partitions that equal or improve the performance of data parallel applications on heterogeneous platforms with respect to previous volume-based strategies.

    Heterogeneous gradient computing optimization for scalable deep neural networks
    (Springer, 2022) Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Rico Gallego, Juan Antonio; Haut, Juan M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4264-7473; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X
    Nowadays, data processing applications based on neural networks cope with the growth in the amount of data to be processed and with the increase in both the depth and complexity of the neural networks architectures, and hence in the number of parameters to be learned. High-performance computing platforms are provided with fast computing resources, including multi-core processors and graphical processing units, to manage such computational burden of deep neural network applications. A common optimization technique is to distribute the workload between the processes deployed on the resources of the platform. This approach is known as data-parallelism. Each process, known as replica, trains its own copy of the model on a disjoint data partition. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of the computational resources composing the platform requires to unevenly distribute the workload between the replicas according to its computational capabilities, to optimize the overall execution performance. Since the amount of data to be processed is different in each replica, the influence of the gradients computed by the replicas in the global parameter updating should be different. This work proposes a modification of the gradient computation method that considers the different speeds of the replicas, and hence, its amount of data assigned. The experimental results have been conducted on heterogeneous high-performance computing platforms for a wide range of models and datasets, showing an improvement in the final accuracy with respect to current techniques, with a comparable performance.

    (IEEE, 2023) Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; xue, yu; Haut, Juan M.; Plaza, Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9069-7547; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9613-1659
    Convolutional models have provided outstanding performance in the analysis of hyperspectral images (HSIs). These architectures are carefully designed to extract intricate information from nonlinear features for classification tasks. Notwithstanding their results, model architectures are manually engineered and further optimized for generalized feature extraction. In general terms, deep architectures are time-consuming for complex scenarios, since they require fine-tuning. Neural architecture search (NAS) has emerged as a suitable approach to tackle this shortcoming. In parallel, modern attention-based methods have boosted the recognition of sophisticated features. The search for optimal neural architectures combined with attention procedures motivates the development of this work. This article develops a new method to automatically design and optimize convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for HSI classification using channel-based attention mechanisms. Specifically, 1-D and spectral–spatial (3-D) classifiers are considered to handle the large amount of information contained in HSIs from different perspectives. Furthermore, the proposed automatic attention-based CNN ( AAtt-CNN ) method meets the requirement to lower the large computational overheads associated with architectural search. It is compared with current state-of-the-art (SOTA) classifiers. Our experiments, conducted using a wide range of HSI images, demonstrate that AAtt-CNN succeeds in finding optimal architectures for classification, leading to SOTA results.

    (IEEE, 2023) Haut, Juan M.; Moreno Álvarez, Sergio; Moreno Ávila, Enrique; Ayma Quirita, Victor Andrés; Pastor Vargas, Rafael; Paoletti, Mercedes Eugenia; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6701-961X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2987-2761; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4089-9538; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1030-3729
    Classifying remotely sensed hyperspectral images (HSIs) became a computationally demanding task given the extensive information contained throughout the spectral dimension. Furthermore, burgeoning data volumes compound inherent computational and storage challenges for data processing and classification purposes. Given their distributed processing capabilities, cloud environments have emerged as feasible solutions to handle these hurdles. This encourages the development of innovative distributed classification algorithms that take full advantage of the processing capabilities of such environments. Recently, computational-efficient methods have been implemented to boost network convergence by reducing the required training calculations. This letter develops a novel cloud-based distributed implementation of the extreme learning machine ( CC-ELM ) algorithm for efficient HSI classification. The proposal implements a fault-tolerant and scalable computing design while avoiding traditional batch-based backpropagation. CC-ELM has been evaluated over state-of-the-art HSI classification benchmarks, yielding promising results and proving the feasibility of cloud environments for large remote sensing and HSI data volumes processing.
