Scene Clustering Based Pseudo-labeling Strategy for Multi-modal Aerial View Object Classification
share
Multi-modal aerial view object classification (MAVOC) in Automatic target recognition (ATR), although an important and challenging problem, has been under studied. This paper firstly finds that fine-grained data, class imbalance and various shooting conditions preclude the representational ability of general image classification. Moreover, the MAVOC dataset has scene aggregation characteristics. By exploiting these properties, we propose Scene Clustering Based Pseudo-labeling Strategy (SCP-Label), a simple yet effective method to employ in post-processing. The SCP-Label brings greater accuracy by assigning the same label to objects within the same scene while also mitigating bias and confusion with model ensembles. Its performance surpasses the official baseline by a large margin of +20.57 Track 2 (SAR+EO), demonstrating the potential of SCP-Label as post-processing. Finally, we win the championship both on Track1 and Track2 in the CVPR 2022 Perception Beyond the Visible Spectrum (PBVS) Workshop MAVOC Challenge.
