Therefore, remote sensing image caption generation tasks will inevitably fall into the dilemma of few-shot, resulting in poor qualities of the generated text descriptions. In this study, we propose a self-learning method named SFRC for few-shot remote sensing image captioning. Without relying on additional labeled samples and external knowledge, SFRC improves the performance in few-shot scenarios by ameliorating the way and efficiency of the method of learning on limited data. We first train an encoder for semantic feature extraction using a supplemental modified BYOL self-supervised learning method on a small number of unlabeled remote sensing samples, where the unlabeled remote sensing samples are derived from caption-labeled samples. When training the model for caption generation in a small number of caption-labeled remote sensing samples, the self-ensemble yields a parameter-averaging teacher model based on the integration of intermediate morphologies of the model over a certain training time horizon. The self-distillation uses the self-ensemble-obtained teacher model to generate pseudo labels to guide the student model in the next generation to achieve better performance. Additionally, when optimizing the model by parameter back-propagation, we design a baseline incorporating self-critical self-ensemble to reduce the variance during gradient computation and weaken the effect of overfitting. In a range of experiments only using limited caption-labeled samples, the performance evaluation metric scores of SFRC exceed those of recent methods. We conduct percentage sampling few-shot experiments to test the performance of the SFRC method in few-shot remote sensing image captioning with fewer samples. We also conduct ablation experiments on key designs in SFRC. The results of the ablation experiments prove that these self-learning designs we generated for captioning in sparse remote sensing sample scenarios are indeed fruitful, and each design contributes to the performance of the SFRC method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14184606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]],"date-time":"2022-09-16T01:35:10Z","timestamp":1663292110000},"page":"4606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Self-Learning for Few-Shot Remote Sensing Image Captioning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Haonan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Space Engineering University, Beijing 101416, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoping","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Engineering University, Beijing 101416, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lurui","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Engineering University, Beijing 101416, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Space Engineering University, Beijing 101416, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1109\/LGRS.2020.2968550","article-title":"Self-attention-based deep feature fusion for remote sensing scene classification","volume":"18","author":"Cao","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
