Guessing random additive noise decoding (GRAND) is a universal decoding paradigm that decodes by repeatedly testing error patterns until identifying a codeword, where the ordering of tests is generated by the received channel values. On one…
Detecting clouds and snow in remote sensing images is an essential preprocessing task for remote sensing imagery. Previous works draw inspiration from semantic segmentation models in computer vision, with most research focusing on improving…
Remote sensing (RS) involves the acquisition of data about objects or areas from a distance, primarily to monitor environmental changes, manage resources, and support planning and disaster response. A significant challenge in RS…
In radiologists' routine work, one major task is to read a medical image, e.g., a CT scan, find significant lesions, and write sentences in the radiology report to describe them. In this paper, we study the lesion description or annotation…
Humans can be notoriously imperfect evaluators. They are often biased, unreliable, and unfit to define "ground truth." Yet, given the surging need to produce large amounts of training data in educational applications using AI, traditional…
Point clouds registration is a fundamental step of many point clouds processing pipelines; however, most algorithms are tested on data that are collected ad-hoc and not shared with the research community. These data often cover only a very…
One of the important bottlenecks in training modern object detectors is the need for labeled images where bounding box annotations have to be produced for each object present in the image. This bottleneck is further exacerbated in aerial…
In machine learning the best performance on a certain task is achieved by fully supervised methods when perfect ground truth labels are available. However, labels are often noisy, especially in remote sensing where manually curated public…
The misclassification error distance and the adjusted Rand index are two of the most commonly used criteria to evaluate the performance of clustering algorithms. This paper provides an in-depth comparison of the two criteria, aimed to…

Fine-grained aspect extraction is an essential sub-task in aspect based opinion analysis. It aims to identify the aspect terms (a.k.a. opinion targets) of a product or service in each sentence. However, expensive annotation process is…
Landmark correspondences are a widely used type of gold standard in image registration. However, the manual placement of corresponding points is subject to high inter-user variability in the chosen annotated locations and in the…
Accurate tree detection is of growing importance in applications such as urban planning, forest inventory, and environmental monitoring. In this article, we present an approach to creating tree maps by annotating them in 3D point clouds.…
Since high resolution remote sensing image classification often requires a relatively high computation complexity, lightweight models tend to be practical and efficient. Model pruning is an effective method for model compression. However,…
Prior work has commonly defined argument retrieval from heterogeneous document collections as a sentence-level classification task. Consequently, argument retrieval suffers both from low recall and from sentence segmentation errors making…
Accurate robot localization relative to orchard row centerlines is essential for autonomous guidance where satellite signals are often obstructed by foliage. Existing sensor-based approaches rely on various features extracted from images…
Measuring semantic traits for phenotyping is an essential but labor-intensive activity in horticulture. Researchers often rely on manual measurements which may not be accurate for tasks such as measuring tree volume. To improve the accuracy…
