Transforming the Use of Earth Observation Data: Exascale Training of a Generative Compression Model with Historical Priors for up to 10,000x Data Reduction

Earth observation is becoming one of the largest data-producing activities in science, yet current pipelines still treat compression as a storage and transmission tool rather than a new way to use data. We present a generative compression framework that learns from historical Earth observation archives and enables on-demand 100x to 10,000x data reduction across downstream tasks. Unlike general visual data, Earth observation repeatedly measures the same evolving planet, making historical-prior learning feasible for extreme compression. To realize this paradigm, we train large generative compression models at exascale on the LineShine Armv9 CPU supercomputer, with co-optimization across model design, kernels, memory hierarchy, runtime, and parallelism. Our implementation sustains 1.54 EFLOP/s and peaks at 2.16 EFLOP/s in end-to-end training. This work shows that historical-prior generative compression can turn Earth observation data into an active, task-adaptive foundation for acquisition, delivery, storage, and scientific use.

HMS-Net: Hierarchical Multi-scale Sparsity-invariant Network for Sparse Depth Completion

Dense depth cues are important and have wide applications in various computer vision tasks. In autonomous driving, LIDAR sensors are adopted to acquire depth measurements around the vehicle to perceive the surrounding environments. However, depth maps obtained by LIDAR are generally sparse because of its hardware limitation. The task of depth completion attracts increasing attention, which aims at generating a dense depth map from an input sparse depth map. To effectively utilize multi-scale features, we propose three novel sparsity-invariant operations, based on which, a sparsity-invariant multi-scale encoder-decoder network (HMS-Net) for handling sparse inputs and sparse feature maps is also proposed. Additional RGB features could be incorporated to further improve the depth completion performance. Our extensive experiments and component analysis on two public benchmarks, KITTI depth completion benchmark and NYU-depth-v2 dataset, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. As of Aug. 12th, 2018, on KITTI depth completion leaderboard, our proposed model without RGB guidance ranks first among all peer-reviewed methods without using RGB information, and our model with RGB guidance ranks second among all RGB-guided methods.
