Special session on ''Novelty Detection and Lifelong Learning for Robust Performance Under Ever-Changing Conditions''

Abstract

Remote Sensing systems are exposedto the constantly changing conditions in the open world. The conditions inwhich remote sensing systems operate can change frequently and drastically dueto differences in acquisition (i.e., different atmospheric effects, acquisitionviewpoints, time periods, etc.) and the heterogeneity of the environments underinvestigation (e.g., planetary exploration, sustainable development, UAV anddrone-based data collection). Researchers have been studying challengesinvolved with novelty detection, identification and adaptation to build morereliable and intelligent remote sensing systems.

Robust performance of automatedsystems for open world remote sensing hinges on determining when conditionshave changed enough to jeopardize accurate performance, and how to identifycritical changes so as to appropriately adapt to them. Novelty detection aimsto determine when such changes have occurred without knowledge of what thechanges might be. Lifelong learning aims to support robust performance undernovel conditions by characterizing these changes and continuously adaptingwithout catastrophically forgetting previous knowledge.
