abstract = "The surveillance of large areas to ensure local security requires
remote sensors with high temporal and spatial resolution. Captive
balloons with infrared and visible sensors, like ALTAVE captive
balloon system, can perform a long-term day-night surveillance and
provide security of large areas by monitoring people and vehicles,
but it is an exhaustive task for a human. In order to provide a
more efficient and less arduous monitoring, a deep learning model
was trained to detect people and vehicles in images from captive
balloons infrared and visible sensors. Two databases containing
about 700 images each, one for each sensor, were manually built.
Two networks were fine-tuned from a pretrained faster region-based
convolution neural network (R-CNN). The network reached accuracies
of 87.1% for the infrared network and 86.1% for the visible one.
Both networks were able to satisfactorily detect multiple objects
in an image with a variety of angles, positions, types (for
vehicles), scales, and even with some noise and overlap. Thus a
faster R-CNN pretrained only in common RGB (red, green, and blue)
images can be fine-tuned to work satisfactorily on visible remote
sensing (RS) images and even on the infrared RS images.",
