SUBMISSION TO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING Hyperspectral Image Classification With Deep Learning Models

Deep learning has achieved great successes in conventional computer vision tasks. In this paper, we exploit deep learning techniques to address the hyperspectral image classification problem. In contrast to conventional computer vision tasks that only examine the spatial context, our proposed method can exploit both spatial context and spectral correlation to enhance hyperspectral image classification. In particular, we advocate four new deep learning models, namely 2D Convolutional neural network (2D-CNN), 3D Convolutional neural network (3D-CNN), recurrent 2D Convolutional neural network (R-2D-CNN), and recurrent 3D Convolutional neural network (R-3D-CNN) for hyperspectral image classification. We conducted rigorous experiments based on six publicly available data sets. Through a comparative evaluation with other state-of-the-art methods, our experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed deep learning models, especially the R-3D-CNN and the R-2D-CNN deep learning models.

Deep Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification: An Overview

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has become a hot topic in the field of remote sensing. In general, the complex characteristics of hyperspectral data make the accurate classification of such data challenging for traditional machine learning methods. In addition, hyperspectral imaging often deals with an inherently nonlinear relation between the captured spectral information and the corresponding materials. In recent years, deep learning has been recognized as a powerful feature-extraction tool to effectively address nonlinear problems and widely used in a number of image processing tasks. Motivated by those successful applications, deep learning has also been introduced to classify HSIs and demonstrated good performance. This survey paper presents a systematic review of deep learning-based HSI classification literatures and compares several strategies for this topic. Specifically, we first summarize the main challenges of HSI classification which cannot be effectively overcome by traditional machine learning methods, and also introduce the advantages of deep learning to handle these problems. Then, we build a framework which divides the corresponding works into spectralfeature networks, spatial-feature networks, and spectral-spatialfeature networks to systematically review the recent achievements in deep learning-based HSI classification. In addition, considering the fact that available training samples in the remote sensing field are usually very limited and training deep networks require a large number of samples, we include some strategies to improve classification performance, which can provide some guidelines for future studies on this topic. Finally, several representative deep learning-based classification methods are conducted on real HSIs in our experiments.

Deep Learning Based Hyperspectral Image Classification: A Review For Future Enhancement

International journal of computing and digital system/International Journal of Computing and Digital Systems, 2024

The use of Hyperspectral Image(HSI) has become prevalent in many sectors due to its ability to identify detailed spectral information (i.e., relationships between the collected spectral data and the object in the HSI data) that cannot be obtained through ordinary imaging. Traditional RGB image classification approaches are insufficient for hyperspectral image classification(HSIC) because they struggle to capture the subtle spectral information that exists within hyperspectral data. In the past few years, the Deep Learning(DL) based model has become a very powerful and efficient non-linear feature extractor for a wide range of computer vision tasks. Furthermore, DL-based models are exempt from manual feature extraction. The use of this stimulus prompted the researchers to use a DL-based model for the classification of Hyperspectral Images, which yielded impressive results. This motivation inspired the researchers to develop a DL-based model for the classification of hyperspectral images, which performed well. Deeper networks might encounter vanishing gradient problems, making optimization more difficult. To address this issue, regularisation and architectural improvements are being implemented. One of the key issues is that the DL-based HSIC model requires a large number of training samples for training, which is an important concern with hyperspectral data due to the scarcity of public HSI datasets. This article provides an overview of deep learning for hyperspectral image classification and assesses the most recent methods. Among all studied methods SpectralNET offers significantly better performance, due to the utilization of wavelet transformation.

Spectral-Spatial Classification of Hyperspectral Images with Multi-Level CNN

In recent years, deep learning methods have significantly increased the classification accuracy of remotely sensed images. However, most of the methods focus only on spectral information ignoring the spatial information, thus extracting only low-level features from a hyperspectral image. In this study, a multi-level 3-dimensional convolutional neural network (3-D CNN) has been proposed. The 3-D CNN serves the purpose of including both spatial and spectral information. The multi-level architecture consists of varying kernel sizes to extract features at different levels. This helps in distinguishing classes from multiple spatial scales and aspect ratios. We have evaluated the performance of the proposed approach on four standard hyperspectral datasets to verify the generalisation ability. Compared with other state-of-the-art methods, an improvement of 2% − 5% in overall accuracy and kappa coefficient has been observed. The effect of spatial window size on classification accuracy has b...

Multi-scale 3D-convolutional neural network for hyperspectral image classification

Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Deep Learning methods are state-of-the-art approaches for pixel-based hyperspectral images (HSI) classification. High classification accuracy has been achieved by extracting deep features from both spatial-spectral channels. However, the efficiency of such spatial-spectral approaches depends on the spatial dimension of each patch and there is no theoretically valid approach to find the optimum spatial dimension to be considered. It is more valid to extract spatial features by considering varying neighborhood scales in spatial dimensions. In this regard, this article proposes a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model wherein three different multi-scale spatial-spectral patches are used to extract the features in both the spatial and spectral channels. In order to extract these potential features, the proposed deep learning architecture takes three patches various scales in spatial dimension. 3D convolution is performed on each selected patch and the process runs through entire ...

Efficient Classification of Hyperspectral Data Using Deep Neural Network Model

Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences , 2022

In recent years, there has been tremendous progress in the classification of hyperspectral images (HSI) using a deep neural network. Due to the high complexity of spectral properties, limited ground truth samples, and extreme inhomogeneity of hyperspectral data, an efficient classification of HSI using deep convolutional neural networks remains difficult. As a result, the ever-increasing volume of data necessitates the effective categorization of remote sensor-based HSI utilizing advanced deep learning. Over time, certain deep learning models for learning to detect HSI have been developed, and many researchers have used convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Previous research on hyperspectral data categorization using deep learning models have faced the issue of performance degradation due to insufficient layer selection in the CNN, which is studied in this research. In our solution, we have proposed a CNN model for effectively classifying hyperspectral data using deep learning. We tested our method using land cover benchmark datasets and found that it outperforms the current state-of-the-art. When compared to conventional machine learning methods and baseline procedures, the results of this study reveal that using an upgraded CNN model significantly improves the performance (accuracy = 93.621, precision = 91.571, recall = 92, F1 score = 90.714).

Pixel-Wise Classification of High-Resolution Ground-Based Urban Hyperspectral Images with Convolutional Neural Networks

Remote Sensing

Using ground-based, remote hyperspectral images from 0.4–1.0 micron in ∼850 spectral channels—acquired with the Urban Observatory facility in New York City—we evaluate the use of one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for pixel-level classification and segmentation of built and natural materials in urban environments. We find that a multi-class model trained on hand-labeled pixels containing Sky, Clouds, Vegetation, Water, Building facades, Windows, Roads, Cars, and Metal structures yields an accuracy of 90–97% for three different scenes. We assess the transferability of this model by training on one scene and testing to another with significantly different illumination conditions and/or different content. This results in a significant (∼45%) decrease in the model precision and recall as does training on all scenes at once and testing on the individual scenes. These results suggest that while CNNs are powerful tools for pixel-level classification of very high-resolutio...
