Abstract: In this talk, we propose a joint Point Process and CNN based method for object detection in satellite image processing. The Point Process allows building a lightweight interaction model, while the CNN allows to efficiently extract meaningful information from the image in a context where interaction priors can complement the limited visual information. More specifically, we present matching parameter estimation and result scoring procedures, that allow to consider object interaction.  The method provides good results on benchmark data, along with a degree of interpretability of the output.
