Abstract

In order to enhance the efficiency of the image transmission system and the robustness of the optical imaging system of the Association of Sino-Russian Technical Universities satellite, a new framework of on-board cloud detection by utilizing a lightweight U-Net and JPEG compression strategy is described. In this method, a careful compression strategy is introduced and evaluated to acquire a balanced result between the efficiency and power consuming. A deep-learning network combined with lightweight U-Net and Mobilenet is trained and verified with a public Landsat-8 data set Spatial Procedures for Automated Removal of Cloud and Shadow. Experiment results indicate that by utilizing image-compression strategy and depthwise separable convolutions, the maximum memory cost and inference speed are dramatically reduced into 0.7133 Mb and 0.0378 s per million pixels while the overall accuracy achieves around 93.1%. A good possibility of the on-board cloud detection based on deep learning is explored by the proposed method.
