Hyperspectral Image Restoration via Total Variation Regularized Low-rank Tensor Decomposition
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are often corrupted by a mixture of several types
of noise during the acquisition process, e.g., Gaussian noise, impulse noise,
dead lines, stripes, and many others. Such complex noise could degrade the
quality of the acquired HSIs, limiting the precision of the subsequent
processing. In this paper, we present a novel tensor-based HSI restoration
approach by fully identifying the intrinsic structures of the clean HSI part
and the mixed noise part respectively. Specifically, for the clean HSI part, we
use tensor Tucker decomposition to describe the global correlation among all
bands, and an anisotropic spatial-spectral total variation (SSTV)
regularization to characterize the piecewise smooth structure in both spatial
and spectral domains. For the mixed noise part, we adopt the norm
regularization to detect the sparse noise, including stripes, impulse noise,
and dead pixels. Despite that TV regulariztion has the ability of removing
Gaussian noise, the Frobenius norm term is further used to model heavy Gaussian
noise for some real-world scenarios. Then, we develop an efficient algorithm
for solving the resulting optimization problem by using the augmented Lagrange
multiplier (ALM) method. Finally, extensive experiments on simulated and
real-world noise HSIs are carried out to demonstrate the superiority of the
proposed method over the existing state-of-the-art ones.Comment: 15 pages, 20 figure
Locality and Structure Regularized Low Rank Representation for Hyperspectral Image Classification
Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, which aims to assign an accurate
label for hyperspectral pixels, has drawn great interest in recent years.
Although low rank representation (LRR) has been used to classify HSI, its
ability to segment each class from the whole HSI data has not been exploited
fully yet. LRR has a good capacity to capture the underlying lowdimensional
subspaces embedded in original data. However, there are still two drawbacks for
LRR. First, LRR does not consider the local geometric structure within data,
which makes the local correlation among neighboring data easily ignored.
Second, the representation obtained by solving LRR is not discriminative enough
to separate different data. In this paper, a novel locality and structure
regularized low rank representation (LSLRR) model is proposed for HSI
classification. To overcome the above limitations, we present locality
constraint criterion (LCC) and structure preserving strategy (SPS) to improve
the classical LRR. Specifically, we introduce a new distance metric, which
combines both spatial and spectral features, to explore the local similarity of
pixels. Thus, the global and local structures of HSI data can be exploited
sufficiently. Besides, we propose a structure constraint to make the
representation have a near block-diagonal structure. This helps to determine
the final classification labels directly. Extensive experiments have been
conducted on three popular HSI datasets. And the experimental results
demonstrate that the proposed LSLRR outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, TGRS201
Interpretable Hyperspectral AI: When Non-Convex Modeling meets Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
Hyperspectral imaging, also known as image spectrometry, is a landmark
technique in geoscience and remote sensing (RS). In the past decade, enormous
efforts have been made to process and analyze these hyperspectral (HS) products
mainly by means of seasoned experts. However, with the ever-growing volume of
data, the bulk of costs in manpower and material resources poses new challenges
on reducing the burden of manual labor and improving efficiency. For this
reason, it is, therefore, urgent to develop more intelligent and automatic
approaches for various HS RS applications. Machine learning (ML) tools with
convex optimization have successfully undertaken the tasks of numerous
artificial intelligence (AI)-related applications. However, their ability in
handling complex practical problems remains limited, particularly for HS data,
due to the effects of various spectral variabilities in the process of HS
imaging and the complexity and redundancy of higher dimensional HS signals.
Compared to the convex models, non-convex modeling, which is capable of
characterizing more complex real scenes and providing the model
interpretability technically and theoretically, has been proven to be a
feasible solution to reduce the gap between challenging HS vision tasks and
currently advanced intelligent data processing models
Exploiting Structural Complexity for Robust and Rapid Hyperspectral Imaging
This paper presents several strategies for spectral de-noising of
hyperspectral images and hypercube reconstruction from a limited number of
tomographic measurements. In particular we show that the non-noisy spectral
data, when stacked across the spectral dimension, exhibits low-rank. On the
other hand, under the same representation, the spectral noise exhibits a banded
structure. Motivated by this we show that the de-noised spectral data and the
unknown spectral noise and the respective bands can be simultaneously estimated
through the use of a low-rank and simultaneous sparse minimization operation
without prior knowledge of the noisy bands. This result is novel for for
hyperspectral imaging applications. In addition, we show that imaging for the
Computed Tomography Imaging Systems (CTIS) can be improved under limited angle
tomography by using low-rank penalization. For both of these cases we exploit
the recent results in the theory of low-rank matrix completion using nuclear
norm minimization
Sketch-based subspace clustering of hyperspectral images
Sparse subspace clustering (SSC) techniques provide the state-of-the-art in clustering of hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, their computational complexity hinders their applicability to large-scale HSIs. In this paper, we propose a large-scale SSC-based method, which can effectively process large HSIs while also achieving improved clustering accuracy compared to the current SSC methods. We build our approach based on an emerging concept of sketched subspace clustering, which was to our knowledge not explored at all in hyperspectral imaging yet. Moreover, there are only scarce results on any large-scale SSC approaches for HSI. We show that a direct application of sketched SSC does not provide a satisfactory performance on HSIs but it does provide an excellent basis for an effective and elegant method that we build by extending this approach with a spatial prior and deriving the corresponding solver. In particular, a random matrix constructed by the Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform is first used to sketch the self-representation dictionary as a compact dictionary, which significantly reduces the number of sparse coefficients to be solved, thereby reducing the overall complexity. In order to alleviate the effect of noise and within-class spectral variations of HSIs, we employ a total variation constraint on the coefficient matrix, which accounts for the spatial dependencies among the neighbouring pixels. We derive an efficient solver for the resulting optimization problem, and we theoretically prove its convergence property under mild conditions. The experimental results on real HSIs show a notable improvement in comparison with the traditional SSC-based methods and the state-of-the-art methods for clustering of large-scale images
