Popis: In remote sensing, distributional mismatch between the training and test data may arise due to several reasons, including unseen classes in the test data, differences in the geographic area, and multi-sensor differences. Deep learning based models may behave in unexpected manners when subjected to test data that has such distributional shifts from the training data, also called out-of-distribution (OOD) examples. Vulnerability to OOD data severely reduces the reliability of deep learning based models. In this work, we address this issue by proposing a model to quantify distributional uncertainty of deep learning based remote sensing models. In particular, we adopt a Dirichlet Prior Network for remote sensing data. The approach seeks to maximize the representation gap between the in-domain and OOD examples for a better identification of unknown examples at test time. Experimental results on three exemplary test scenarios show that the proposed model can detect OOD images in remote sensing.
