RT Journal Article T1 Using heterogeneous computing and edge computing to accelerate anomaly detection in remotely sensed multispectral images A1 López Fandiño, Javier A1 Blanco Heras, Dora A1 Argüello Pedreira, Francisco K1 Multispectral K1 Anomaly detection K1 Extinction profiles K1 Heterogeneous computing K1 Edge computing AB This paper proposes a parallel algorithm exploiting heterogeneous computing and edge computing for anomaly detection (AD) in remotely sensed multispectral images. These images present high spatial resolution and are captured onboard unmanned aerial vehicles. AD is applied to identify patterns within an image that do not conform to the expected behavior. In this paper, the anomalies correspond to human-made constructions that trigger alarms related to the integrity of fluvial ecosystems. An algorithm based on extracting spatial information by using extinction profiles (EPs) and detecting anomalies by using the Reed–Xiaoli (RX) technique is proposed. The parallel algorithm presented in this paper is designed to be executed on multi-node heterogeneous computing platforms that include nodes with multi-core central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) and on a mobile embedded system consisting of a multi-core CPU and a GPU. The experiments are carried out on nodes of the FinisTerrae III supercomputer and, with the objective of analyzing its efficiency under different energy consumption scenarios, on a Jetson AGX Orin.
