Activities

The aim of the Image Processing Research Unit is to develop tools and methods for solving real world problems involving images. The team gained its experience from various national and international projects mainly in Remote Sensing and more generally for security applications.

The scope is exploiting large volume of images to extract subtle information. Applications can be either change detection, for instance based on Sentinel-1 (radar) and Sentinel-2 (EO) image time series or behaviour analysis based on high-frequency optical images obtained from UAV and MALEs.

Many types of images are considered, acquired on land-based platforms, airborne platforms (UAVs and MALEs), spaceborne (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, ...) but also ships where the images are obtained from sonars.

The algorithms used cover the range from the usual classification and tracking algorithms using Machine Learning, but also more advanced CNN-based algorithms (DEEP-*) and AI to exploit the data and propose solutions to a human operator.

### Research projects

DAP20-02

The aim of this project is to develop AI-based persistent surveillance algorithms. The necessity for such algorithms arises from the huge amount of imagery that is (or can be) recorded from high-altitude UAV. The goal is to be able to flag anomalous behaviour.

SARSAR

This project aims at developing a system to perform brown-field tracking based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images in order to assist the Walloon Region in the management of these redevelopment sites.

IRIS

This project aims at developping a artificial intelligence-based battlefield situation awareness tool to assist vehicle operators on the battlefield.

DAP-16-9

The Confident project, conducted in the Improvised Explosive Devices Detection programm of the European Defence Agency, consists in providing IED early warning for convoys. The Royal Military Academy is in charge of the processing and data fusion of the infrared images with the image coming from the other detectors.

DAP-16-7

The VIEMW3 project, conducted in the Improvised Explosive Devices Detection programm of the European Defence Agency, consists in providing IED early warning for convoys. The Royal Military Academy is in charge of the processing and data fusion of the infrared images with the image coming from the other detectors.

DAP-16-8

The aim of the study is to develop (semi-)automatic image analysis methods in order to help vectorize topo-geographic objects from satellite imagery and to integrate these in the Geographic service of the Defense in charge of the MGCP project.

EO Regions

EO Regions aims at optimizing earth observeration services and valorizing scientific know-how from universities and the private sector by offering substantial and competitive services and by mobilizing users through the demonstration of the potential of these services.

The activities of RMA consist in analyzing and developing change-detection algorithms on stacks of Sentinel-1 images.

SPaceborne Radar INterferometric Techniques for Humanitarian Demining Land Release (SPRINT)

Development of Earth observation SAR-based tools to improve surveys required for humanitarian demining. Analysis and modelling of long term mechanisms and processes related to potential indicators of contaminated areas through exploitation of time series of ERS and ENVISAT archives will be performed and validated in Croatia. The idea is to differentiate human-induced effects from natural ones by exploiting the combination of the amplitude and phase changes of the signal. The same tools could be used for food security applications. The project could serve as a feasibility study for using stacks of free Sentinel-1 images.

SIC/05

The study aims first at automatically extract Digital Surface Models using very high spatial and radiometric resolution images and multiview modes. Second, these DSM will be exploited to perform change detection and produce landscape models.

Vehicle speed measurement using time lapse cameras

The aim of this project is to develop, test and validate a library allowing to determine the speed of cars passing by from time-lapse images.

SUM (Surveillance in an Urban environment using Mobile sensors)

The aim of this project is to develop a low-cost multi-sensor vehicle protection system using a data fusion engine in order to enhance situational awareness and aid command and control for a moving vehicle in an urban environment, as well as to protect critical static points such as road blocks or outposts, taking into account the operational needs defined by end-users. The system will be able to detect potential threats at large distances while driving at a normal cruising speed. Furthermore, the system will be able to recognize and characterize threats in more detail at smaller distances and at slower speeds. Based on the working conditions and the operator\'s instructions, the system will be able to switch between operating modes for the overall system and for the individual sensors (spot mode, scanning mode etc.)

MRN09

This project addresses the limitations for observation, detection and classification of seabed ground targets, in particular mines. It will target the aspect of high-resolution synthetic-aperture sonar image by investigating the use of interferometric SAS methods (in particular single- and dual-pass interferometry), in order to facilitate the classification task. In the same philosophy as dual-pass interferometry, a new concept of imaging technique based on planar synthetic aperture sonar (P-SAS) will be investigated, which takes advantage of the overlap of both ping-to-ping and track-to-track footprints to improve the imaging resolution in both along-track and across-track directions.

A second aspect of the study will be the classification by itself; herein the speckle reduction task will be considered as well as the classification based on the three categories mentioned earlier; shadow based characterization, echoes based characterization and fusion based methods.

ARMURS: Automatic Recognition for Map Update by Remote Sensing

The general objective of the project is to capitalize partners\' knowledge in the development of a demonstrator to assist data producers in updating more efficiently their topographic database by using state-of-the-art image processing and statistical analysis techniques. Data will include remote sensing images, together with socio-economical data.

OCTOPUS

The method developed for NGI by SIC in the scope of the ETATS project (STEREO SR/00/21) to detect changes in buildings and roadnetwork from SPOT5 images and the Top10v-GIS topographic data base (conceptually at 1:10 000) of NGI, has produced good results on a set of zones, but could not be validated sufficiently in the foreseen time frame during the ETATS project. Moreover, taking into account the tests realized and in order to make the application more flexible, NGI prefers a modular version of the realized software under the form of successions of scripts instead of a global graphical interface. Finally, the NGI wish that the method could accept as input other types of images than SPOT5 images, as aerial photos, orthophotos and mosaics.

At the end of this project, the NGI will have a versatile and adapted prototype to help the updating of topogeographical data.

Adaptation du Système d Information Géographique PARADIS développé dans le cadre de l étude C4-01 aux besoins spécifiques de l ONG APOPO.

Les objectifs sont les suivants :

1. Fournir à APOPO un système clé sur porte pour la planification de leurs opérations de déminage;

2. Offrir au système PARADIS une grande visibilité du fait de son intégration au sein des activités d une organisation de déminage reconnue, innovante et hautement médiatisée;

3. Généraliser le système PARADIS afin d élargir le spectre des utilisateurs potentiels.

La méthodologie employée sera conforme à celle utilisée dans le cadre du développement du système PARADIS (étude C4-01). Elle repose sur trois axes principaux:

1. une expérience approfondie des potentialités et des contraintes liées aux SIG;

2. la connaissance des besoins des utilisateurs finaux et des possibilités d intégration de ces besoins dans le système; cette connaissance a été acquise lors de trois tests de faisabilité réalisés sur le terrain en collaboration avec APOPO Mozambique;

3. le développement proprement dit, réalisé en collaboration directe avec APOPO.

GMOSS:

The aim of the GMOSS network of excellence is to integrate Europe?s civil security research so as to acquire and nourish the autonomous knowledge and expertise base Europe needs if it is to develop and maintain an effective capacity for global monitoring using satellite earth observation.

GEMITOR

The objective of the GEMITOR project is to generate a Numerical Surface Model (NSM) with a resolution that is as high as possible. This NSM would then serve as input for the EMSOR project to which the GEMITOR project is linked.

Generating NSM from SAR interferometrie has proved to be challenging at very high resolution. In particular, the phase unwrapping operation has to be re-examined, for instance by adopting a multiresolution approach.

EMSOR “Extraction Automatique de structures humaines à partir d’images à très Haute Résolution Optiques et SAR pour détection de changement”

EMSOR vise 2 applications complémentaires de la détection de structures humaines, à savoir : la mise à jour de données cartographiques en routine et la mise à jour de cartes en temps de crise avec évaluation des dégâts survenus.

EMSOR va intégrer voire développer les méthodes nécessaires à l’analyse des données SAR pour les applications en sécurité (résolution 1m), à l’analyse des données optiques (résolution 1m) et à la fusion de données SAR et optiques.

EMSOR, est intégré dans un réseau destiné à faciliter l’échange d’expertise, de données et la comparaison de résultats.

Etats

The National Geographic Institute (of Belgium) is in charge of the production of the digital topo-geographic data over Belgium at the scale of 1:10000. In order to keep up with the evolution of the situation on the terrain, the NGI has to plan for the update of these data and inform its user about the status of that update. Detection of areas that have undergone a significant evolution with respect to the know situation in the database is thus required.

The role of RMA in this project is to detect those areas. More specifically, the focus will be put on the detection of the communication network (roads, railroad) and the build-up areas. RMA will produce a software prototype that will interface with a Geographical Information System and that will compute a 'change index' for fixed-size cells on a regular grid using very high resolution satellite images.

SMART

The goal of the SMART project is to provide a GIS-based system - the SMART system - augmented with dedicated tools and methods designed to use multispectral and radar data in order to assist the human analyst in the interpretation of the mined scene. The use of SMART includes a short field survey to collect knowledge about the site, a flight campaign to record the data, and the use of the SMART system by an operator to detect indicators of presence or absence of minefields. The operator will prepare thematic maps that will synthesise all the knowledge gathered with these indicators. These maps of indicators can be transformed into 'danger maps' showing how dangerous an area may be according to the location of known indicators. These maps are designed to help the area reduction process.
