Distributed Unmixing of Hyperspectral Data With Sparsity Constraint
Spectral unmixing (SU) is a data processing problem in hyperspectral remote
sensing. The significant challenge in the SU problem is how to identify
endmembers and their weights, accurately. For estimation of signature and
fractional abundance matrices in a blind problem, nonnegative matrix
factorization (NMF) and its developments are used widely in the SU problem. One
of the constraints which was added to NMF is sparsity constraint that was
regularized by L 1/2 norm. In this paper, a new algorithm based on distributed
optimization has been used for spectral unmixing. In the proposed algorithm, a
network including single-node clusters has been employed. Each pixel in
hyperspectral images considered as a node in this network. The distributed
unmixing with sparsity constraint has been optimized with diffusion LMS
strategy, and then the update equations for fractional abundance and signature
matrices are obtained. Simulation results based on defined performance metrics,
illustrate advantage of the proposed algorithm in spectral unmixing of
hyperspectral data compared with other methods. The results show that the AAD
and SAD of the proposed approach are improved respectively about 6 and 27
percent toward distributed unmixing in SNR=25dB.Comment: 6 pages, conference pape
A Comprehensive Survey of Deep Learning in Remote Sensing: Theories, Tools and Challenges for the Community
In recent years, deep learning (DL), a re-branding of neural networks (NNs),
has risen to the top in numerous areas, namely computer vision (CV), speech
recognition, natural language processing, etc. Whereas remote sensing (RS)
possesses a number of unique challenges, primarily related to sensors and
applications, inevitably RS draws from many of the same theories as CV; e.g.,
statistics, fusion, and machine learning, to name a few. This means that the RS
community should be aware of, if not at the leading edge of, of advancements
like DL. Herein, we provide the most comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art
RS DL research. We also review recent new developments in the DL field that can
be used in DL for RS. Namely, we focus on theories, tools and challenges for
the RS community. Specifically, we focus on unsolved challenges and
opportunities as it relates to (i) inadequate data sets, (ii)
human-understandable solutions for modelling physical phenomena, (iii) Big
Data, (iv) non-traditional heterogeneous data sources, (v) DL architectures and
learning algorithms for spectral, spatial and temporal data, (vi) transfer
learning, (vii) an improved theoretical understanding of DL systems, (viii)
high barriers to entry, and (ix) training and optimizing the DL.Comment: 64 pages, 411 references. To appear in Journal of Applied Remote

Deep learning in remote sensing: a review
Standing at the paradigm shift towards data-intensive science, machine
learning techniques are becoming increasingly important. In particular, as a
major breakthrough in the field, deep learning has proven as an extremely
powerful tool in many fields. Shall we embrace deep learning as the key to all?
Or, should we resist a 'black-box' solution? There are controversial opinions
in the remote sensing community. In this article, we analyze the challenges of
using deep learning for remote sensing data analysis, review the recent
advances, and provide resources to make deep learning in remote sensing
ridiculously simple to start with. More importantly, we advocate remote sensing
scientists to bring their expertise into deep learning, and use it as an
implicit general model to tackle unprecedented large-scale influential
challenges, such as climate change and urbanization.Comment: Accepted for publication IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazin
