Advances in Hyperspectral Image Classification: Earth monitoring with statistical learning methods
Hyperspectral images show similar statistical properties to natural grayscale
or color photographic images. However, the classification of hyperspectral
images is more challenging because of the very high dimensionality of the
pixels and the small number of labeled examples typically available for
learning. These peculiarities lead to particular signal processing problems,
mainly characterized by indetermination and complex manifolds. The framework of
statistical learning has gained popularity in the last decade. New methods have
been presented to account for the spatial homogeneity of images, to include
user's interaction via active learning, to take advantage of the manifold
structure with semisupervised learning, to extract and encode invariances, or
to adapt classifiers and image representations to unseen yet similar scenes.
This tutuorial reviews the main advances for hyperspectral remote sensing image
classification through illustrative examples.Comment: IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 201
A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community
In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs),
has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech
recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS)
possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and
applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g.,
statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS
community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements
like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art
RS DL research. We also review recent new developments in the DL field that can
be used in DL for RS. Namely, we focus on theories, tools and challenges for
the RS community. Specifically, we focus on unsolved challenges and
opportunities as it relates to (i) inadequate data sets, (ii)
human-understandable solutions for modelling physical phenomena, (iii) Big
Data, (iv) non-traditional heterogeneous data sources, (v) DL architectures and
learning algorithms for spectral, spatial and temporal data, (vi) transfer
learning, (vii) an improved theoretical understanding of DL systems, (viii)
high barriers to entry, and (ix) training and optimizing the DL.Comment: 64 pages, 411 references. To appear in Journal of Applied Remote
