"Efficient hyperspectral image segmentation for biosecurity scanning us" by Minh Hieu Phan, Son Lam Phung et al.
Foreign species can deteriorate the environment and the economy of a country. To automatically monitor biosecurity threats at country borders, this paper investigates compact deep networks for accurate and real-time object segmentation for hyperspectral images. To this end, knowledge distillation (KD) approaches compress the model by distilling the knowledge of a large teacher network to a compact student network. However, when the student is over-compressed, the performance of standard KD methods degrades significantly due to the large capacity gap between the teacher and the student. This ga...
