    Morphological scale-space for hyperspectral images and dimensionality exploration using tensor modeling

    No full text
    International audienceThis paper proposes a framework to integrate spatial information into unsupervised feature extraction for hyperspectral images. In this approach a nonlinear scale-space representation using morphological levelings is formulated. In order to apply feature extraction, tensor principal components are computed involving spatial and spectral information. The proposed method has shown significant gain over the conventional schemes used with real hyperspectral images. In addition, the proposed framework opens a wide field for future developments in which spatial information can be easily integrated into the feature extraction stage. Examples using real hyperspectral images with high spatial resolution showed excellent performance even with a low number of training samples

    Parameters Selection Of Morphological Scale-Space Decomposition For Hyperspectral Images Using Tensor Modeling

    International audienceDimensionality reduction (DR) using tensor structures in morphological scale-space decomposition (MSSD) for HSI has been investigated in order to incorporate spatial information in DR.We present results of a comprehensive investigation of two issues underlying DR in MSSD. Firstly, information contained in MSSD is reduced using HOSVD but its nonconvex formulation implicates that in some cases a large number of local solutions can be found. For all experiments, HOSVD always reach an unique global solution in the parameter region suitable to practical applications. Secondly, scale parameters in MSSD are presented in relation to connected components size and the influence of scale parameters in DR and subsequent classification is studied

    Connected Filtering on Tree-Based Shape-Spaces

    International audienceConnected filters are well-known for their good contour preservation property. A popular implementation strategy relies on tree-based image representations: for example, one can compute an attribute characterizing the connected component represented by each node of the tree and keep only the nodes for which the attribute is sufficiently high. This operation can be seen as a thresholding of the tree, seen as a graph whose nodes are weighted by the attribute. Rather than being satisfied with a mere thresholding, we propose to expand on this idea, and to apply connected filters on this latest graph. Consequently, the filtering is performed not in the space of the image, but in the space of shapes built from the image. Such a processing of shape-space filtering is a generalization of the existing tree-based connected operators. Indeed, the framework includes the classical existing connected operators by attributes. It also allows us to propose a class of novel connected operators from the leveling family, based on non-increasing attributes. Finally, we also propose a new class of connected operators that we call morphological shapings. Some illustrations and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the usefulness and robustness of the proposed shape-space filters

    On morphological hierarchical representations for image processing and spatial data clustering

    Full text link
    Hierarchical data representations in the context of classi cation and data clustering were put forward during the fties. Recently, hierarchical image representations have gained renewed interest for segmentation purposes. In this paper, we briefly survey fundamental results on hierarchical clustering and then detail recent paradigms developed for the hierarchical representation of images in the framework of mathematical morphology: constrained connectivity and ultrametric watersheds. Constrained connectivity can be viewed as a way to constrain an initial hierarchy in such a way that a set of desired constraints are satis ed. The framework of ultrametric watersheds provides a generic scheme for computing any hierarchical connected clustering, in particular when such a hierarchy is constrained. The suitability of this framework for solving practical problems is illustrated with applications in remote sensing

    Morphological Principal Component Analysis for Hyperspectral Image Analysis

    No full text
    International audienceThis paper deals with a problem of dimensionality reduction for hyperspectral images using the principal component analysis. Hyper-spectral image reduction is improved by adding structural/spatial information to the spectral information, by means of mathematical morphology tools. Then it can be useful in supervised classification for instance. The key element of the approach is the computation of a covariance matrix which integrates simultaneously both spatial and spectral information. Thanks to these new covariance matrices, new features can be extracted. To prove the efficiency of these new features we have conducted an extended study showing the interest of the structural/spatial information
