Surface-to-air missile sites detection agent with remote sensing images

Abstract

Improvement and development in satellite and aerial photography have resulted in the rapid growth of the quantity and quality of remote sensing images, which are commonly used in military intelligence gathering, navigation, damage assessment, surveying, and mapping. Finding military facilities such as surface-to-air missile sites (SAMSs) from massive amounts of high-resolution remote sensing images, has attracted considerable research interest globally. However, existing map interpretation is mainly conducted by human experts; therefore, it is time consuming and often suffers from low detection accuracy.
