论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
In this paper, we introduce the task of visual grounding for remote sensing data (RSVG). RSVG aims to localize the referred objects in remote sensing (RS) images with the guidance of natural language. To retrieve rich information from RS imagery using natural language, many research tasks, like RS image visual question answering, RS image captioning, and RS image-text retrieval have been investigated a lot. However, the object-level visual grounding on RS images is still under-explored. Thus, in this work, we propose to construct the dataset and explore deep learning models for the RSVG task. Specifically, our contributions can be summarized as follows. 1) We build the new large-scale benchmark dataset of RSVG, termed RSVGD, to fully advance the research of RSVG. This new dataset includes image/expression/box triplets for training and evaluating visual grounding models. 2) We benchmark extensive state-of-the-art (SOTA) natural image visual grounding methods on the constructed RSVGD dataset, and some insightful analyses are provided based on the results. 3) A novel transformer-based Multi-Level Cross-Modal feature learning (MLCM) module is proposed. Remotely-sensed images are usually with large scale variations and cluttered backgrounds. To deal with the scale-variation problem, the MLCM module takes advantage of multi-scale visual features and multi-granularity textual embeddings to learn more discriminative representations. To cope with the cluttered background problem, MLCM adaptively filters irrelevant noise and enhances salient features. In this way, our proposed model can incorporate more effective multi-level and multi-modal features to boost performance. Furthermore, this work also provides useful insights for developing better RSVG models. The dataset and code will be publicly available at https://github.com/ZhanYang-nwpu/RSVG-pytorch.
