This paper centers around a novel concept proposed recently by researchers from the control community where the training process of a deep neural network can be considered a nonlinear dynamical system acting upon the high-dimensional weight space. Koopman operator theory (KOT), a data-driven dynamic…
Frequent and precise land surface monitoring is critical for numerous applications, yet existing satellites struggle to achieve both simultaneously. Spatiotemporal fusion (STF) tackles this challenge by integrating multiple satellite images to generate data with improved temporal and spatial resolut
Vision Transformers increasingly incorporate extra tokens beyond patch tokens—from class tokens for aggregation to register tokens for artifact mitigation. While effective for their intended purposes, these tokens typically lack semantic structure. We ask a more ambitious question: Can we design reg…
Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (Neural ODEs or NODEs) excel at modeling continuous dynamical systems from observational data, especially when the data is irregularly sampled. However, existing training methods predominantly rely on numerical ODE solvers, which are time-consuming and prone to…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has made significant strides in various domains, and policy gradient methods like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) have gained popularity due to their balance in performance, training stability, and computational efficiency. These methods directly optimize policies thro
Remote sensing images present unique challenges to image analysis due to the extensive geographic coverage, hardware limitations, and misaligned multi-scale images. This paper revisits the classical multi-scale representation learning prob- lem but under the general framework of self-supervised lear…
Land cover classification of satellite imagery is an important step toward analyzing the Earth's surface. Existing models assume a closed-set setting where both the training and testing classes belong to the same label set. However, due to the unique characteristics of satellite imagery with an extr…
Due to the significant information loss in low-resolution (LR) images, it has become extremely challenging to further advance the state-of-the-art of single image super-resolution (SISR). Reference-based super-resolution (RefSR), on the other hand, has proven to be promising in recovering high-resol…
Person re-identification (re-ID) is the task of matching person images across camera views, which plays an important role in surveillance and security applications. Inspired by great progress of deep learning, deep re-ID models began to be popular and gained state-of-the-art performance. However, re…
In many computer vision applications, obtaining images of high resolution in both the spatial and spectral domains are equally important. However, due to hardware limitations, one can only expect to acquire images of high resolution in either the spatial or spectral domains. This paper focuses on hy…
"If I provide you a face image of mine (without telling you the actual age when I took the picture) and a large amount of face images that I crawled (containing labeled faces of different ages but not necessarily paired), can you show me what I would look like when I am 80 or what I was like when I…
Distributed surveillance systems have become popular in recent years due to security concerns. However, transmitting high dimensional data in bandwidth-limited distributed systems becomes a major challenge. In this paper, we address this issue by proposing a novel probabilistic algorithm based on th…
