GETNET: A General End-to-end Two-dimensional CNN Framework for Hyperspectral Image Change Detection
Change detection (CD) is an important application of remote sensing, which
provides timely change information about large-scale Earth surface. With the
emergence of hyperspectral imagery, CD technology has been greatly promoted, as
hyperspectral data with the highspectral resolution are capable of detecting
finer changes than using the traditional multispectral imagery. Nevertheless,
the high dimension of hyperspectral data makes it difficult to implement
traditional CD algorithms. Besides, endmember abundance information at subpixel
level is often not fully utilized. In order to better handle high dimension
problem and explore abundance information, this paper presents a General
End-to-end Two-dimensional CNN (GETNET) framework for hyperspectral image
change detection (HSI-CD). The main contributions of this work are threefold:
1) Mixed-affinity matrix that integrates subpixel representation is introduced
to mine more cross-channel gradient features and fuse multi-source information;
2) 2-D CNN is designed to learn the discriminative features effectively from
multi-source data at a higher level and enhance the generalization ability of
the proposed CD algorithm; 3) A new HSI-CD data set is designed for the
objective comparison of different methods. Experimental results on real
hyperspectral data sets demonstrate the proposed method outperforms most of the
state-of-the-arts
Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images: three tricks and a new supervised learning setting
Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images has been the subject
of many studies in recent years. In the presence of only very few labeled
pixels, this task becomes challenging. In this paper we address the following
two research questions: 1) Can a simple neural network with just a single
hidden layer achieve state of the art performance in the presence of few
labeled pixels? 2) How is the performance of hyperspectral image classification
methods affected when using disjoint train and test sets? We give a positive
answer to the first question by using three tricks within a very basic shallow
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture: a tailored loss function, and
smooth- and label-based data augmentation. The tailored loss function enforces
that neighborhood wavelengths have similar contributions to the features
generated during training. A new label-based technique here proposed favors
selection of pixels in smaller classes, which is beneficial in the presence of
very few labeled pixels and skewed class distributions. To address the second
question, we introduce a new sampling procedure to generate disjoint train and
test set. Then the train set is used to obtain the CNN model, which is then
applied to pixels in the test set to estimate their labels. We assess the
efficacy of the simple neural network method on five publicly available
hyperspectral images. On these images our method significantly outperforms
considered baselines. Notably, with just 1% of labeled pixels per class, on
these datasets our method achieves an accuracy that goes from 86.42%
(challenging dataset) to 99.52% (easy dataset). Furthermore we show that the
simple neural network method improves over other baselines in the new
challenging supervised setting. Our analysis substantiates the highly
beneficial effect of using the entire image (so train and test data) for
constructing a model.Comment: Remote Sensing 201
