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
Sparse representation based hyperspectral image compression and classification
Abstract
This thesis presents a research work on applying sparse representation to lossy hyperspectral image
compression and hyperspectral image classification. The proposed lossy hyperspectral image
compression framework introduces two types of dictionaries distinguished by the terms sparse
representation spectral dictionary (SRSD) and multi-scale spectral dictionary (MSSD), respectively.
The former is learnt in the spectral domain to exploit the spectral correlations, and the
latter in wavelet multi-scale spectral domain to exploit both spatial and spectral correlations in
hyperspectral images. To alleviate the computational demand of dictionary learning, either a
base dictionary trained offline or an update of the base dictionary is employed in the compression
framework. The proposed compression method is evaluated in terms of different objective
metrics, and compared to selected state-of-the-art hyperspectral image compression schemes, including
JPEG 2000. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and competitiveness of
both SRSD and MSSD approaches.
For the proposed hyperspectral image classification method, we utilize the sparse coefficients
for training support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbour (kNN) classifiers. In particular,
the discriminative character of the sparse coefficients is enhanced by incorporating contextual
information using local mean filters. The classification performance is evaluated and compared
to a number of similar or representative methods. The results show that our approach could outperform
other approaches based on SVM or sparse representation.
This thesis makes the following contributions. It provides a relatively thorough investigation
of applying sparse representation to lossy hyperspectral image compression. Specifically,
it reveals the effectiveness of sparse representation for the exploitation of spectral correlations
in hyperspectral images. In addition, we have shown that the discriminative character of sparse
coefficients can lead to superior performance in hyperspectral image classification.EM201
Multi-task Image Classification via Collaborative, Hierarchical Spike-and-Slab Priors
Promising results have been achieved in image classification problems by
exploiting the discriminative power of sparse representations for
classification (SRC). Recently, it has been shown that the use of
\emph{class-specific} spike-and-slab priors in conjunction with the
class-specific dictionaries from SRC is particularly effective in low training
scenarios. As a logical extension, we build on this framework for multitask
scenarios, wherein multiple representations of the same physical phenomena are
available. We experimentally demonstrate the benefits of mining joint
information from different camera views for multi-view face recognition.Comment: Accepted to International Conference in Image Processing (ICIP) 201
Non-convex regularization in remote sensing
In this paper, we study the effect of different regularizers and their
implications in high dimensional image classification and sparse linear
unmixing. Although kernelization or sparse methods are globally accepted
solutions for processing data in high dimensions, we present here a study on
the impact of the form of regularization used and its parametrization. We
consider regularization via traditional squared (2) and sparsity-promoting (1)
norms, as well as more unconventional nonconvex regularizers (p and Log Sum
Penalty). We compare their properties and advantages on several classification
and linear unmixing tasks and provide advices on the choice of the best
regularizer for the problem at hand. Finally, we also provide a fully
functional toolbox for the community.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figure
Superpixel based feature specific sparse representation for spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images.
To improve the performance of the sparse representation classification (SRC), we propose a superpixel-based feature specific sparse representation framework (SPFS-SRC) for spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images (HSI) at superpixel level. First, the HSI is divided into different spatial regions, each region is shape- and size-adapted and considered as a superpixel. For each superpixel, it contains a number of pixels with similar spectral characteristic. Since the utilization of multiple features in HSI classification has been proved to be an effective strategy, we have generated both spatial and spectral features for each superpixel. By assuming that all the pixels in a superpixel belongs to one certain class, a kernel SRC is introduced to the classification of HSI. In the SRC framework, we have employed a metric learning strategy to exploit the commonalities of different features. Experimental results on two popular HSI datasets have demonstrated the efficacy of our proposed methodology
