Abstract

Lower resolutions and a lack of distinguishing features in large satellite imagery datasets make identification tasks challenging for traditional image classification models. Vision Transformers (ViT) address these issues by creating deeper spatial relationships between image features. Self attention mechanisms are applied to better understand not only what features correspond to which classification profile, but how the features correspond to each other within each separate category. These models, integral to computer vision machine learning systems, depend on extensive datasets and rigorous training to develop highly accurate yet computationally demanding systems. Deploying such models in the field can present significant challenges on resource constrained devices. This paper introduces a novel approach to address these constraints by optimizing an efficient Vision Transformer (TinEVit) for real-time satellite image classification that is compatible with ST Microelectronics AI integration tool, X-Cube-AI.
