    A novel algorithm to discriminate between normal and malignant tissue cells of the human colon is presented. The microscopic level images of human colon tissue cells were acquired using hyperspectral imaging technology at contiguous wavelength intervals of visible light. While hyperspectral imagery data provides a wealth of information, its large size normally means high computational processing complexity. Several methods exist to avoid the so-called curse of dimensionality and hence reduce the computational complexity. In this study, we experimented with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and two modifications of Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In the first stage of the algorithm, the extracted components are used to separate four constituent parts of the colon tissue: nuclei, cytoplasm, lamina propria, and lumen. The segmentation is performed in an unsupervised fashion using the nearest centroid clustering algorithm. The segmented image is further used, in the second stage of the classification algorithm, to exploit the spatial relationship between the labeled constituent parts. Experimental results using supervised Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification based on multiscale morphological features reveal the discrimination between normal and malignant tissue cells with a reasonable degree of accuracy

    Segmentation is an early stage for the automated classification of tissue cells between normal and malignant types. We present an algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of images of hyperspectral human colon tissue cells into their constituent parts by exploiting the spatial relationship between these constituent parts. This is done by employing a modification of the conventional wavelet based texture analysis, on the projection of hyperspectral image data in the first principal component direction. Results show that our algorithm is comparable to other more computationally intensive methods which exploit the spectral characteristics of the hyperspectral imagery data

    Unsupervised spectral sub-feature learning for hyperspectral image classification

    Spectral pixel classification is one of the principal techniques used in hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. In this article, we propose an unsupervised feature learning method for classification of hyperspectral images. The proposed method learns a dictionary of sub-feature basis representations from the spectral domain, which allows effective use of the correlated spectral data. The learned dictionary is then used in encoding convolutional samples from the hyperspectral input pixels to an expanded but sparse feature space. Expanded hyperspectral feature representations enable linear separation between object classes present in an image. To evaluate the proposed method, we performed experiments on several commonly used HSI data sets acquired at different locations and by different sensors. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other pixel-wise classification methods that make use of unsupervised feature extraction approaches. Additionally, even though our approach does not use any prior knowledge, or labelled training data to learn features, it yields either advantageous, or comparable, results in terms of classification accuracy with respect to recent semi-supervised methods

    HyperDID: Hyperspectral Intrinsic Image Decomposition with Deep Feature Embedding

    The dissection of hyperspectral images into intrinsic components through hyperspectral intrinsic image decomposition (HIID) enhances the interpretability of hyperspectral data, providing a foundation for more accurate classification outcomes. However, the classification performance of HIID is constrained by the model's representational ability. To address this limitation, this study rethinks hyperspectral intrinsic image decomposition for classification tasks by introducing deep feature embedding. The proposed framework, HyperDID, incorporates the Environmental Feature Module (EFM) and Categorical Feature Module (CFM) to extract intrinsic features. Additionally, a Feature Discrimination Module (FDM) is introduced to separate environment-related and category-related features. Experimental results across three commonly used datasets validate the effectiveness of HyperDID in improving hyperspectral image classification performance. This novel approach holds promise for advancing the capabilities of hyperspectral image analysis by leveraging deep feature embedding principles. The implementation of the proposed method could be accessed soon at https://github.com/shendu-sw/HyperDID for the sake of reproducibility.Comment: Submitted to IEEE TGR

    Optimal Clustering Framework for Hyperspectral Band Selection

    Full text link
    Band selection, by choosing a set of representative bands in hyperspectral image (HSI), is an effective method to reduce the redundant information without compromising the original contents. Recently, various unsupervised band selection methods have been proposed, but most of them are based on approximation algorithms which can only obtain suboptimal solutions toward a specific objective function. This paper focuses on clustering-based band selection, and proposes a new framework to solve the above dilemma, claiming the following contributions: 1) An optimal clustering framework (OCF), which can obtain the optimal clustering result for a particular form of objective function under a reasonable constraint. 2) A rank on clusters strategy (RCS), which provides an effective criterion to select bands on existing clustering structure. 3) An automatic method to determine the number of the required bands, which can better evaluate the distinctive information produced by certain number of bands. In experiments, the proposed algorithm is compared to some state-of-the-art competitors. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm is robust and significantly outperform the other methods on various data sets

    Tensor singular spectral analysis for 3D feature extraction in hyperspectral images.

    Due to the cubic structure of a hyperspectral image (HSI), how to characterize its spectral and spatial properties in three dimensions is challenging. Conventional spectral-spatial methods usually extract spectral and spatial information separately, ignoring their intrinsic correlations. Recently, some 3D feature extraction methods are developed for the extraction of spectral and spatial features simultaneously, although they rely on local spatial-spectral regions and thus ignore the global spectral similarity and spatial consistency. Meanwhile, some of these methods contain huge model parameters which require a large number of training samples. In this paper, a novel Tensor Singular Spectral Analysis (TensorSSA) method is proposed to extract global and low-rank features of HSI. In TensorSSA, an adaptive embedding operation is first proposed to construct a trajectory tensor corresponding to the entire HSI, which takes full advantage of the spatial similarity and improves the adequate representation of the global low-rank properties of the HSI. Moreover, the obtained trajectory tensor, which contains the global and local spatial and spectral information of the HSI, is decomposed by the Tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD) to explore its low-rank intrinsic features. Finally, the efficacy of the extracted features is evaluated using the accuracy of image classification with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Experimental results on three publicly available datasets have fully demonstrated the superiority of the proposed TensorSSA over a few state-of-the-art 2D/3D feature extraction and deep learning algorithms, even with a limited number of training samples

    Deep Intrinsic Decomposition with Adversarial Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification

    Full text link
    Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been demonstrated their powerful ability to extract discriminative features for hyperspectral image classification. However, general deep learning methods for CNNs ignore the influence of complex environmental factor which enlarges the intra-class variance and decreases the inter-class variance. This multiplies the difficulty to extract discriminative features. To overcome this problem, this work develops a novel deep intrinsic decomposition with adversarial learning, namely AdverDecom, for hyperspectral image classification to mitigate the negative impact of environmental factors on classification performance. First, we develop a generative network for hyperspectral image (HyperNet) to extract the environmental-related feature and category-related feature from the image. Then, a discriminative network is constructed to distinguish different environmental categories. Finally, a environmental and category joint learning loss is developed for adversarial learning to make the deep model learn discriminative features. Experiments are conducted over three commonly used real-world datasets and the comparison results show the superiority of the proposed method. The implementation of the proposed method and other compared methods could be accessed at https://github.com/shendu-sw/Adversarial Learning Intrinsic Decomposition for the sake of reproducibility.Comment: Submitted to IEEE TI
