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
Image Restoration for Remote Sensing: Overview and Toolbox
Remote sensing provides valuable information about objects or areas from a
distance in either active (e.g., RADAR and LiDAR) or passive (e.g.,
multispectral and hyperspectral) modes. The quality of data acquired by
remotely sensed imaging sensors (both active and passive) is often degraded by
a variety of noise types and artifacts. Image restoration, which is a vibrant
field of research in the remote sensing community, is the task of recovering
the true unknown image from the degraded observed image. Each imaging sensor
induces unique noise types and artifacts into the observed image. This fact has
led to the expansion of restoration techniques in different paths according to
each sensor type. This review paper brings together the advances of image
restoration techniques with particular focuses on synthetic aperture radar and
hyperspectral images as the most active sub-fields of image restoration in the
remote sensing community. We, therefore, provide a comprehensive,
discipline-specific starting point for researchers at different levels (i.e.,
students, researchers, and senior researchers) willing to investigate the
vibrant topic of data restoration by supplying sufficient detail and
references. Additionally, this review paper accompanies a toolbox to provide a
platform to encourage interested students and researchers in the field to
further explore the restoration techniques and fast-forward the community. The

Multi-scale Adaptive Fusion Network for Hyperspectral Image Denoising
Removing the noise and improving the visual quality of hyperspectral images
(HSIs) is challenging in academia and industry. Great efforts have been made to
leverage local, global or spectral context information for HSI denoising.
However, existing methods still have limitations in feature interaction
exploitation among multiple scales and rich spectral structure preservation. In
view of this, we propose a novel solution to investigate the HSI denoising
using a Multi-scale Adaptive Fusion Network (MAFNet), which can learn the
complex nonlinear mapping between clean and noisy HSI. Two key components
contribute to improving the hyperspectral image denoising: A progressively
multiscale information aggregation network and a co-attention fusion module.
Specifically, we first generate a set of multiscale images and feed them into a
coarse-fusion network to exploit the contextual texture correlation.
Thereafter, a fine fusion network is followed to exchange the information
across the parallel multiscale subnetworks. Furthermore, we design a
co-attention fusion module to adaptively emphasize informative features from
different scales, and thereby enhance the discriminative learning capability
for denoising. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real HSI datasets
demonstrate that the proposed MAFNet has achieved better denoising performance
than other state-of-the-art techniques. Our codes are available at
