Coupled Convolutional Neural Network with Adaptive Response Function Learning for Unsupervised Hyperspectral Super-Resolution
Due to the limitations of hyperspectral imaging systems, hyperspectral
imagery (HSI) often suffers from poor spatial resolution, thus hampering many
applications of the imagery. Hyperspectral super-resolution refers to fusing
HSI and MSI to generate an image with both high spatial and high spectral
resolutions. Recently, several new methods have been proposed to solve this
fusion problem, and most of these methods assume that the prior information of
the Point Spread Function (PSF) and Spectral Response Function (SRF) are known.
However, in practice, this information is often limited or unavailable. In this
work, an unsupervised deep learning-based fusion method - HyCoNet - that can
solve the problems in HSI-MSI fusion without the prior PSF and SRF information
is proposed. HyCoNet consists of three coupled autoencoder nets in which the
HSI and MSI are unmixed into endmembers and abundances based on the linear
unmixing model. Two special convolutional layers are designed to act as a
bridge that coordinates with the three autoencoder nets, and the PSF and SRF
parameters are learned adaptively in the two convolution layers during the
training process. Furthermore, driven by the joint loss function, the proposed
method is straightforward and easily implemented in an end-to-end training
manner. The experiments performed in the study demonstrate that the proposed
method performs well and produces robust results for different datasets and
arbitrary PSFs and SRFs
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

Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image Fusion by MS/HS Fusion Net
Hyperspectral imaging can help better understand the characteristics of
different materials, compared with traditional image systems. However, only
high-resolution multispectral (HrMS) and low-resolution hyperspectral (LrHS)
images can generally be captured at video rate in practice. In this paper, we
propose a model-based deep learning approach for merging an HrMS and LrHS
images to generate a high-resolution hyperspectral (HrHS) image. In specific,
we construct a novel MS/HS fusion model which takes the observation models of
low-resolution images and the low-rankness knowledge along the spectral mode of
HrHS image into consideration. Then we design an iterative algorithm to solve
the model by exploiting the proximal gradient method. And then, by unfolding
the designed algorithm, we construct a deep network, called MS/HS Fusion Net,
with learning the proximal operators and model parameters by convolutional
neural networks. Experimental results on simulated and real data substantiate
the superiority of our method both visually and quantitatively as compared with
state-of-the-art methods along this line of research.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
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
