    Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a very important topic in remote sensing. There are many published methods for HSI classification in the literature. Nevertheless, it is not clear which method is the most robust to noise in HSI data cubes. In this paper, we conduct a systematic study to examine the effects of noise in HSI data cubes on classification methods. We compare ten existing methods for HSI classification when Gaussian white noise (GWN) and shot noise are present in the HSI data cubes. We have figured out which method is the most robust to GWN and shot noise respectively by experimenting on three widely used HSI data cubes. We have also measured the CPU computational time of every method compared in this paper for HSI classification

    The representation power of convolutional neural network (CNN) models for hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis is in practice limited by the available amount of the labeled samples, which is often insufficient to sustain deep networks with many parameters. We propose a novel approach to boost the network representation power with a two-stream 2-D CNN architecture. The proposed method extracts simultaneously, the spectral features and local spatial and global spatial features, with two 2-D CNN networks and makes use of channel correlations to identify the most informative features. Moreover, we propose a layer-specific regularization and a smooth normalization fusion scheme to adaptively learn the fusion weights for the spectral-spatial features from the two parallel streams. An important asset of our model is the simultaneous training of the feature extraction, fusion, and classification processes with the same cost function. Experimental results on several hyperspectral data sets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method compared with the state-of-the-art methods in the field

    As an essential reprocessing method, dimensionality reduction (DR) can reduce the data redundancy and improve the performance of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. A novel unsupervised DR framework with feature interpretability, which integrates both band selection (BS) and spatial noise reduction method, is proposed to extract low-dimensional spectral-spatial features of HSI. We proposed a new Neighboring band Grouping and Normalized Matching Filter (NGNMF) for BS, which can reduce the data dimension whilst preserve the corresponding spectral information. An enhanced 2-D singular spectrum analysis (E2DSSA) method is also proposed to extract the spatial context and structural information from each selected band, aiming to decrease the intra-class variability and reduce the effect of noise in the spatial domain. The support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the extracted spectral-spatial low-dimensional features. Experimental results on three publicly available HSI datasets have fully demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed NGNMF-E2DSSA method, which has surpassed a number of state-of-the-art DR methods

    Computer Vision Based Kidney’s (HK-2) Damaged Cells Classification with Reconfigurable Hardware Accelerator (FPGA)

    In medical and health sciences, detection of cell injury plays an important role in diagnosis, personal treatment and disease prevention. Despite recent advancements in tools and methods for image classification, it is challenging to classify cell images with higher precision and accuracy. Cell classification based on computer vision offers significant benefits in biomedicine and healthcare. There have been studies reported where cell classification techniques have been complemented by Artificial Intelligence-based classifiers such as Convolutional Neural Networks. These classifiers suffer from the drawback of the scale of computational resources required for training and hence do not offer real-time classification capabilities for an embedded system plat-form. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer the flexibility of hardware reconfiguration and have emerged as a viable platform for algorithm acceleration. Given that the logic resources and on-chip memory available on a single device are still limited, hardware/software co-design is proposed where image pre-processing and network training was performed in software and trained architectures were mapped onto an FPGA device (Nexys4DDR) for real-time cell classification. This paper demonstrates that the embedded hardware-based cell classifier performs with almost 100% accuracy in detecting different types of damaged kidney cells
