A REVIEW ON MULTIPLE-FEATURE-BASED ADAPTIVE SPARSE REPRESENTATION (MFASR) AND OTHER CLASSIFICATION TYPES
A new technique Multiple-feature-based adaptive sparse representation (MFASR) has been demonstrated for Hyperspectral Images (HSI's) classification. This method involves mainly in four steps at the various stages. The spectral and spatial information reflected from the original Hyperspectral Images with four various features. A shape adaptive (SA) spatial region is obtained in each pixel region at the second step. The algorithm namely sparse representation has applied to get the coefficients of sparse for each shape adaptive region in the form of matrix with multiple features. For each test pixel, the class label is determined with the help of obtained coefficients. The performances of MFASR have much better classification results than other classifiers in the terms of quantitative and qualitative percentage of results. This MFASR will make benefit of strong correlations that are obtained from different extracted features and this make use of effective features and effective adaptive sparse representation. Thus, the very high classification performance was achieved through this MFASR technique
Simultaneous Spectral-Spatial Feature Selection and Extraction for Hyperspectral Images
In hyperspectral remote sensing data mining, it is important to take into
account of both spectral and spatial information, such as the spectral
signature, texture feature and morphological property, to improve the
performances, e.g., the image classification accuracy. In a feature
representation point of view, a nature approach to handle this situation is to
concatenate the spectral and spatial features into a single but high
dimensional vector and then apply a certain dimension reduction technique
directly on that concatenated vector before feed it into the subsequent
classifier. However, multiple features from various domains definitely have
different physical meanings and statistical properties, and thus such
concatenation hasn't efficiently explore the complementary properties among
different features, which should benefit for boost the feature
discriminability. Furthermore, it is also difficult to interpret the
transformed results of the concatenated vector. Consequently, finding a
physically meaningful consensus low dimensional feature representation of
original multiple features is still a challenging task. In order to address the
these issues, we propose a novel feature learning framework, i.e., the
simultaneous spectral-spatial feature selection and extraction algorithm, for
hyperspectral images spectral-spatial feature representation and
classification. Specifically, the proposed method learns a latent low
dimensional subspace by projecting the spectral-spatial feature into a common
feature space, where the complementary information has been effectively
exploited, and simultaneously, only the most significant original features have
been transformed. Encouraging experimental results on three public available
hyperspectral remote sensing datasets confirm that our proposed method is
effective and efficient
Binary Patterns Encoded Convolutional Neural Networks for Texture Recognition and Remote Sensing Scene Classification
Designing discriminative powerful texture features robust to realistic
imaging conditions is a challenging computer vision problem with many
applications, including material recognition and analysis of satellite or
aerial imagery. In the past, most texture description approaches were based on
dense orderless statistical distribution of local features. However, most
recent approaches to texture recognition and remote sensing scene
classification are based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The d facto
practice when learning these CNN models is to use RGB patches as input with
training performed on large amounts of labeled data (ImageNet). In this paper,
we show that Binary Patterns encoded CNN models, codenamed TEX-Nets, trained
using mapped coded images with explicit texture information provide
complementary information to the standard RGB deep models. Additionally, two
deep architectures, namely early and late fusion, are investigated to combine
the texture and color information. To the best of our knowledge, we are the
first to investigate Binary Patterns encoded CNNs and different deep network
fusion architectures for texture recognition and remote sensing scene
classification. We perform comprehensive experiments on four texture
recognition datasets and four remote sensing scene classification benchmarks:
UC-Merced with 21 scene categories, WHU-RS19 with 19 scene classes, RSSCN7 with
7 categories and the recently introduced large scale aerial image dataset (AID)
with 30 aerial scene types. We demonstrate that TEX-Nets provide complementary
information to standard RGB deep model of the same network architecture. Our
late fusion TEX-Net architecture always improves the overall performance
compared to the standard RGB network on both recognition problems. Our final
combination outperforms the state-of-the-art without employing fine-tuning or
ensemble of RGB network architectures.Comment: To appear in ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensin
Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification: Benchmark and State of the Art
Remote sensing image scene classification plays an important role in a wide
range of applications and hence has been receiving remarkable attention. During
the past years, significant efforts have been made to develop various datasets
or present a variety of approaches for scene classification from remote sensing
images. However, a systematic review of the literature concerning datasets and
methods for scene classification is still lacking. In addition, almost all
existing datasets have a number of limitations, including the small scale of
scene classes and the image numbers, the lack of image variations and
diversity, and the saturation of accuracy. These limitations severely limit the
development of new approaches especially deep learning-based methods. This
paper first provides a comprehensive review of the recent progress. Then, we
propose a large-scale dataset, termed "NWPU-RESISC45", which is a publicly
available benchmark for REmote Sensing Image Scene Classification (RESISC),
created by Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU). This dataset contains
31,500 images, covering 45 scene classes with 700 images in each class. The
proposed NWPU-RESISC45 (i) is large-scale on the scene classes and the total
image number, (ii) holds big variations in translation, spatial resolution,
viewpoint, object pose, illumination, background, and occlusion, and (iii) has
high within-class diversity and between-class similarity. The creation of this
dataset will enable the community to develop and evaluate various data-driven
algorithms. Finally, several representative methods are evaluated using the
proposed dataset and the results are reported as a useful baseline for future
research.Comment: This manuscript is the accepted version for Proceedings of the IEE
A novel feature fusion approach for VHR remote sensing image classification
6openInternationalInternational coauthor/editorThis article develops a robust feature fusion approach to enhance the classification performance of very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing images. Specifically, a novel two-stage multiple feature fusion (TsF) approach is proposed, which includes an intragroup and an intergroup feature fusion stages. In the first fusion stage, multiple features are grouped by clustering, where redundant information between different types of features is eliminated within each group. Then, features are pairwisely fused in an intergroup fusion model based on the guided filtering method. Finally, the fused feature set is imported into a classifier to generate the classification map. In this work, the original VHR spectral bands and their attribute profiles are taken as examples as input spectral and spatial features, respectively, in order to test the performance of the proposed TsF approach. Experimental results obtained on two QuickBird datasets covering complex urban scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of generation of more discriminative fusion features and enhancing classification performance. More importantly, the fused feature dimensionality is limited at a certain level; thus, the computational cost will not be significantly increased even if multiple features are considered.openLiu, S.; Zheng, Y.; Du, Q.; Samat, A.; Tong, X.; Dalponte, M.Liu, S.; Zheng, Y.; Du, Q.; Samat, A.; Tong, X.; Dalponte, M
