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
Comparative Study of Different Methods in Vibration-Based Terrain Classification for Wheeled Robots with Shock Absorbers
open access articleAutonomous robots that operate in the field can enhance their security and efficiency by
accurate terrain classification, which can be realized by means of robot-terrain interaction-generated
vibration signals. In this paper, we explore the vibration-based terrain classification (VTC),
in particular for a wheeled robot with shock absorbers. Because the vibration sensors are
usually mounted on the main body of the robot, the vibration signals are dampened significantly,
which results in the vibration signals collected on different terrains being more difficult to
discriminate. Hence, the existing VTC methods applied to a robot with shock absorbers may degrade.
The contributions are two-fold: (1) Several experiments are conducted to exhibit the performance of
the existing feature-engineering and feature-learning classification methods; and (2) According to
the long short-term memory (LSTM) network, we propose a one-dimensional convolutional LSTM
(1DCL)-based VTC method to learn both spatial and temporal characteristics of the dampened
vibration signals. The experiment results demonstrate that: (1) The feature-engineering methods,
which are efficient in VTC of the robot without shock absorbers, are not so accurate in our project;
meanwhile, the feature-learning methods are better choices; and (2) The 1DCL-based VTC method
outperforms the conventional methods with an accuracy of 80.18%, which exceeds the second method
(LSTM) by 8.23%
