Code implementing Contrastive Sensor Fusion, an approach for unsupervised learning of multi-sensor representations targeted at remote sensing imagery.

Check out our paper, "Representation Learning for Remote Sensing: An Unsupervised Sensor Fusion Approach".

Our OSM-labeled dataset can be found at https://storage.cloud.google.com/public-published-datasets/osm_example_dataset.zip?folder=true&organizationId=272688069953

Training and experiments are all handled through runnable scripts in csf/scripts/. To see the full configuration a script accepts, run python3 csf/scripts/some_script.py --helpfull. To pass a set of configuration defined in a file, run python3 csf/scripts/scripy.py --flagfile=csf/parameters/some_config_file.cfg.

We handle configuration and flags with abseil. All configuration can be changed with command-line arguments or config files, but we've included the settings we used for the paper in csf/parameters/.

To train the model, use csf/scripts/train_unsupervised.py. The training configuration used for the paper is in csf/parameters/training.cfg.

There are a number of experiments available to run, all configured with csf/parameters/experiments.cfg. Experiments using a trained model should be passed --checkpoint=some_checkpoint. --experiment_bands configures which bands are passed.

Experiments:

• csf/scripts/visualize_dataset.py: Visualizes a dataset and the view-creation process. Does not require a trained model.
• csf/scripts/plot_representations.py: Makes PCA and t-SNE plots of a model's representation of the OSM imagery.
• csf/scripts/plot_salient_images.py: Finds key directions in representation space and the images that maximally activate them.
• csf/scripts/run_nearest_neighbor_experiment.py: Runs the nearest-neighbor experiments discussed in our paper.
