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
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
Superpixel nonlocal weighting joint sparse representation for hyperspectral image classification.
Joint sparse representation classification (JSRC) is a representative spectral–spatial classifier for hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, the JSRC is inappropriate for highly heterogeneous areas due to the spatial information being extracted from a fixed-sized neighborhood block, which is often unable to conform to the naturally irregular structure of land cover. To address this problem, a superpixel-based JSRC with nonlocal weighting, i.e., superpixel-based nonlocal weighted JSRC (SNLW-JSRC), is proposed in this paper. In SNLW-JSRC, the superpixel representation of an HSI is first constructed based on an entropy rate segmentation method. This strategy forms homogeneous neighborhoods with naturally irregular structures and alleviates the inclusion of pixels from different classes in the process of spatial information extraction. Afterwards, the superpixel-based nonlocal weighting (SNLW) scheme is built to weigh the superpixel based on its structural and spectral information. In this way, the weight of one specific neighboring pixel is determined by the local structural similarity between the neighboring pixel and the central test pixel. Then, the obtained local weights are used to generate the weighted mean data for each superpixel. Finally, JSRC is used to produce the superpixel-level classification. This speeds up the sparse representation and makes the spatial content more centralized and compact. To verify the proposed SNLW-JSRC method, we conducted experiments on four benchmark hyperspectral datasets, namely Indian Pines, Pavia University, Salinas, and DFC2013. The experimental results suggest that the SNLW-JSRC can achieve better classification results than the other four SRC-based algorithms and the classical support vector machine algorithm. Moreover, the SNLW-JSRC can also outperform the other SRC-based algorithms, even with a small number of training samples
A Multimodal Feature Selection Method for Remote Sensing Data Analysis Based on Double Graph Laplacian Diagonalization
When dealing with multivariate remotely sensed records collected by multiple sensors, an accurate selection of information at the data, feature, or decision level is instrumental in improving the scenes’ characterization. This will also enhance the system’s efficiency and provide more details on modeling the physical phenomena occurring on the Earth’s surface. In this article, we introduce a flexible and efficient method based on graph Laplacians for information selection at different levels of data fusion. The proposed approach combines data structure and information content to address the limitations of existing graph-Laplacian-based methods in dealing with heterogeneous datasets. Moreover, it adapts the selection to each homogenous area of the considered images according to their underlying properties. Experimental tests carried out on several multivariate remote sensing datasets show the consistency of the proposed approach
Masked Spatial-Spectral Autoencoders Are Excellent Hyperspectral Defenders
Deep learning methodology contributes a lot to the development of
hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis community. However, it also makes HSI
analysis systems vulnerable to adversarial attacks. To this end, we propose a
masked spatial-spectral autoencoder (MSSA) in this paper under self-supervised
learning theory, for enhancing the robustness of HSI analysis systems. First, a
masked sequence attention learning module is conducted to promote the inherent
robustness of HSI analysis systems along spectral channel. Then, we develop a
graph convolutional network with learnable graph structure to establish global
pixel-wise combinations.In this way, the attack effect would be dispersed by
all the related pixels among each combination, and a better defense performance
is achievable in spatial aspect.Finally, to improve the defense transferability
and address the problem of limited labelled samples, MSSA employs spectra
reconstruction as a pretext task and fits the datasets in a self-supervised
manner.Comprehensive experiments over three benchmarks verify the effectiveness
of MSSA in comparison with the state-of-the-art hyperspectral classification
methods and representative adversarial defense strategies.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure
