Abstract

Sequential atmospheric polarization patterns can provide information for navigation when cues from a satellite source are not available. However, the real scenarios with extreme environments often cause corruption of captured atmospheric polarization data which makes the navigation unreliable. So this encourages us to focus on the atmospheric polarization patterns prediction (APP) topic. In this paper, we try to investigate and fill the gap in this task. We first propose a dataset called the Temporal Polarization 1072 (TP1072) dataset to compensate for the lack of the dataset, which makes future research more possible. And further, we propose a novel and efficient deep learning sequential prediction model named Multi-Scale Spatial Transform Network (MSST-Net) for that topic. The overall model includes a Spatial Transform decoder (STD) and an adversarial learning-based Physical Property Learning (PPL) strategy. The STD makes the model can perceive the sequential pattern easily which significantly increases prediction accuracy. And the PPL constrains the overall model to achieve more accurate physical property. The extensive experiments prove that both two modules are complement with each other and also demonstrate that our model can effectively capture the spatio-temporal cues of the atmospheric polarization mode.
