Abstract

In this paper, we address a new approach for near-real-time enhancement of large-scale Geospatial and aerial remote sensing (RS) imagery that aggregates descriptive and Bayesian convex regularization paradigms for solving the image reconstruction inverse problems with efficient systolic-based neural network (NN) computing. This task is approached via Hardware-Software (HW/SW) codesign oriented at the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) digital implementation that unifies the NN-adapted image enhancement/reconstruction techniques with a novel efficient computational architecture based on a Network of Systolic Arrays (NSA). We demonstrate how such unification reduces drastically the computational load of the real-world RS image enhancement/reconstruction tasks resulting in efficient numerical algorithms suitable for quasi real-time NN-adapted implementation with the existing generation of the FPGA-based digital processors that implement the proposed NSA computational architecture.
