卫星网络轻量级语义传输,按需传信息而非原始图像。
SpaceRipple: Lightweight Semantic Delivery for Mission-Oriented LEO Earth Observation Satellite Networks

- 卫星间压缩+元数据生成,减少通信负载
- 语义检测准确率提升,带宽节省超50%
- 适合紧急任务中的实时信息获取
地球观测卫星网络产生海量高分辨率影像,但星间与下行链路资源有限。在许多时效性任务中,地面用户需要的是任务相关的语义信息,而非完整原始图像。本文提出SpaceRipple,一种面向任务的轻量级语义传输与星上处理框架。感知卫星执行自适应压缩并生成元数据,降低星间通信压力;边缘计算卫星接收后恢复表示并提取任务相关语义信息。不同于以保真度为核心的图像传输,SpaceRipple在协同流水线中统筹压缩、转发、重建与语义推断,实现面向语义的交付。引入压缩感知增强的MoE模块,提升在视觉退化下的鲁棒性。实验表明,SpaceRipple在重建质量、语义检测性能上表现良好,带宽节省显著,展现了在资源受限卫星网络中高效可靠的地球观测潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Earth observation satellite networks generate massive volumes of high-resolution imagery, whereas inter-satellite and downlink resources remain limited. In many time-sensitive missions, ground users require mission-relevant semantic information rather than a full raw-image downlink. This paper proposes SpaceRipple, a lightweight framework for mission-oriented semantic delivery and on-board processing in Earth observation satellite networks. A sensing satellite performs adaptive compression and metadata generation to reduce inter-satellite traffic, while an edge computing satellite restores the received representation and extracts task-relevant semantic information. Unlike fidelity-driven image transmission, SpaceRipple coordinates compression, forwarding, restoration, and semantic inference within a collaborative pipeline, enabling semantic-oriented delivery instead of pixel-level image delivery. A compression-aware MoE enhancement module is further introduced to improve robustness under degraded visual inputs. Experimental results show that SpaceRipple achieves favorable reconstruction quality, improved semantic detection performance, and substantial bandwidth savings, demonstrating its potential for efficient and reliable Earth observation under constrained satellite-network resources.
