In this paper, we propose a deep learning cloud detection Network that is based on the Gabor transform and Attention modules with Dark channel subnet (NGAD). This network is based on the encoder-decoder framework. The information on texture is an important feature that is often used in traditional cloud detection methods. The NGAD enhances the attention of the network towards important texture features in the remote sensing images through the proposed Gabor feature extraction module. The channel attention module that is based on the larger scale features and spatial attention module that is based on the dark channel subnet have been introduced in NGAD.

    2010 Better Regulation in Europe NETHERLANDS The importance of effective regulation has never been so clear as it is today, in the wake of the Better Regulation in Europe worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. But how exactly can Better Regulation policy improve countries’ economic and social welfare prospects, underpin sustained growth and strengthen their resilience? What, in fact, is effective regulation? What should be the shape and NETHERLANDS direction of Better Regulation policy over the next decade? To respond to these questions, the OECD has launched, in partnership with the European Commission, a major project examining Better Regulation developments in 15 OECD countries in the EU, including the Netherlands. Each report maps and analyses the core issues which together make up effective regulatory management, laying down a framework of what should be driving regulatory policy and reform in the future. Issues examined include: • Strategy and policies for improving regulatory management. • Institutional capacities for effective regulation and the broader policy making context. • Transparency and processes for effective public consultation and communication. B • Processes for the development of new regulations, including impact assessment, and for the etterRegulationEurope in management of the regulatory stock, including administrative burdens. • Compliance rates, enforcement policy and appeal processes. • The multilevel dimension: interface between different levels of government and interface between national processes and those of the EU. The participating countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

  • Detail-Recovery Image Deraining Via Context Aggregation Networks
    Detail-recovery Image Deraining via Context Aggregation Networks Sen Deng1,2 Mingqiang Wei1,2∗ Jun Wang1,2 Yidan Feng1,2 Luming Liang3 Haoran Xie4∗ Fu Lee Wang5 Meng Wang6 1Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics 2MIIT Key Laboratory of Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence 3Microsoft Applied Sciences Group 4Lingnan University 5The Open University of Hong Kong 6Hefei University of Technology Abstract This paper looks at this intriguing question: are single images with their details lost during deraining, reversible to their artifact-free status? We propose an end-to-end detail-recovery image deraining network (termed a DRD- Net) to solve the problem. Unlike existing image derain- ing approaches that attempt to meet the conflicting goal of (a) Ground Truth PSNR=Inf/SSIM=1 (b) Rainy Image 9.56/0.4418 simultaneously deraining and preserving details in a uni- fied framework, we propose to view rain removal and de- tail recovery as two separate tasks, so that each part could be specialized rather than traded off. Specifically, we in- troduce two parallel sub-networks with a comprehensive loss function which synergize to derain and recover the lost details caused by deraining. For complete rain removal, we present a rain residual network with the squeeze-and- excitation (SE) operation to remove rain streaks from the (c) SPA-Net 19.10/0.8280 (CVPR’19) (d) DAF-Net 21.67/0.8489 (CVPR’19) rainy images. For detail recovery, we construct a spe- cialized detail repair network consisting of well-designed blocks, named structure detail context aggregation block (SDCAB), to encourage the lost details to return for elim- inating image degradations.
