提出统一语义损失模型,提升卫星遥感图像传输效率与可靠性
Toward a Unified Semantic Loss Model for Deep JSCC-based Transmission of EO Imagery
- 构建兼顾重建质量与任务性能的统一语义损失框架
- 在不同压缩率和信噪比下实现语义质量可预测
- 适合资源受限卫星通信系统的遥感图像传输设计
现代地球观测系统依赖高分辨率影像支持环境监测、灾害响应和土地利用分析等关键应用。然而,海量数据对带宽、功耗和动态链路条件受限的卫星通信系统构成挑战。本文研究基于深度联合源信道编码(DJSCC)的遥感图像传输方案,聚焦语义损失的两个互补方面:一是以重建为中心的框架,分析不同压缩比和信道信噪比(SNR)下的语义退化;二是以任务为导向的框架,将DJSCC与轻量级应用特定模型(如EfficientViT)结合,以下游任务准确率衡量性能。通过大量实验,提出一个统一的语义损失框架,同时捕捉重建与任务性能,揭示了JSCC压缩、信道SNR与语义质量间的隐含关系,为资源受限卫星链路上的高效鲁棒遥感图像传输提供实用指导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modern Earth Observation (EO) systems increasingly rely on high-resolution imagery to support critical applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, and land-use analysis. Although these applications benefit from detailed visual data, the resulting data volumes impose significant challenges on satellite communication systems constrained by limited bandwidth, power, and dynamic link conditions. To address these limitations, this paper investigates Deep Joint Source-Channel Coding (DJSCC) as an effective source-channel paradigm for the transmission of EO imagery. We focus on two complementary aspects of semantic loss in DJSCC-based systems. First, a reconstruction-centric framework is evaluated by analyzing the semantic degradation of reconstructed images under varying compression ratios and channel signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Second, a task-oriented framework is developed by integrating DJSCC with lightweight, application-specific models (e.g., EfficientViT), with performance measured using downstream task accuracy rather than pixel-level fidelity. Based on extensive empirical analysis, we propose a unified semantic loss framework that captures both reconstruction-centric and task-oriented performance within a single model. This framework characterizes the implicit relationship between JSCC compression, channel SNR, and semantic quality, offering actionable insights for the design of robust and efficient EO imagery transmission under resource-constrained satellite links.
