Non-convex regularization in remote sensing
In this paper, we study the effect of different regularizers and their
implications in high dimensional image classification and sparse linear
unmixing. Although kernelization or sparse methods are globally accepted
solutions for processing data in high dimensions, we present here a study on
the impact of the form of regularization used and its parametrization. We
consider regularization via traditional squared (2) and sparsity-promoting (1)
norms, as well as more unconventional nonconvex regularizers (p and Log Sum
Penalty). We compare their properties and advantages on several classification
and linear unmixing tasks and provide advices on the choice of the best
regularizer for the problem at hand. Finally, we also provide a fully
functional toolbox for the community.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figure
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
Simultaneous Spectral-Spatial Feature Selection and Extraction for Hyperspectral Images
In hyperspectral remote sensing data mining, it is important to take into
account of both spectral and spatial information, such as the spectral
signature, texture feature and morphological property, to improve the
performances, e.g., the image classification accuracy. In a feature
representation point of view, a nature approach to handle this situation is to
concatenate the spectral and spatial features into a single but high
dimensional vector and then apply a certain dimension reduction technique
directly on that concatenated vector before feed it into the subsequent
classifier. However, multiple features from various domains definitely have
different physical meanings and statistical properties, and thus such
concatenation hasn't efficiently explore the complementary properties among
different features, which should benefit for boost the feature
discriminability. Furthermore, it is also difficult to interpret the
transformed results of the concatenated vector. Consequently, finding a
physically meaningful consensus low dimensional feature representation of
original multiple features is still a challenging task. In order to address the
these issues, we propose a novel feature learning framework, i.e., the
simultaneous spectral-spatial feature selection and extraction algorithm, for
hyperspectral images spectral-spatial feature representation and
classification. Specifically, the proposed method learns a latent low
dimensional subspace by projecting the spectral-spatial feature into a common
feature space, where the complementary information has been effectively
exploited, and simultaneously, only the most significant original features have
been transformed. Encouraging experimental results on three public available
hyperspectral remote sensing datasets confirm that our proposed method is
effective and efficient
Advances in Hyperspectral Image Classification: Earth monitoring with statistical learning methods
Hyperspectral images show similar statistical properties to natural grayscale
or color photographic images. However, the classification of hyperspectral
images is more challenging because of the very high dimensionality of the
pixels and the small number of labeled examples typically available for
learning. These peculiarities lead to particular signal processing problems,
mainly characterized by indetermination and complex manifolds. The framework of
statistical learning has gained popularity in the last decade. New methods have
been presented to account for the spatial homogeneity of images, to include
user's interaction via active learning, to take advantage of the manifold
structure with semisupervised learning, to extract and encode invariances, or
to adapt classifiers and image representations to unseen yet similar scenes.
This tutuorial reviews the main advances for hyperspectral remote sensing image
classification through illustrative examples.Comment: IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 201
Kernel Multivariate Analysis Framework for Supervised Subspace Learning: A Tutorial on Linear and Kernel Multivariate Methods
Feature extraction and dimensionality reduction are important tasks in many
fields of science dealing with signal processing and analysis. The relevance of
these techniques is increasing as current sensory devices are developed with
ever higher resolution, and problems involving multimodal data sources become
more common. A plethora of feature extraction methods are available in the
literature collectively grouped under the field of Multivariate Analysis (MVA).
This paper provides a uniform treatment of several methods: Principal Component
Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares (PLS), Canonical Correlation Analysis
(CCA) and Orthonormalized PLS (OPLS), as well as their non-linear extensions
derived by means of the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We also
review their connections to other methods for classification and statistical
dependence estimation, and introduce some recent developments to deal with the
extreme cases of large-scale and low-sized problems. To illustrate the wide
applicability of these methods in both classification and regression problems,
we analyze their performance in a benchmark of publicly available data sets,
and pay special attention to specific real applications involving audio
processing for music genre prediction and hyperspectral satellite images for
Earth and climate monitoring
