Exemplar Based Deep Discriminative and Shareable Feature Learning for Scene Image Classification
In order to encode the class correlation and class specific information in
image representation, we propose a new local feature learning approach named
Deep Discriminative and Shareable Feature Learning (DDSFL). DDSFL aims to
hierarchically learn feature transformation filter banks to transform raw pixel
image patches to features. The learned filter banks are expected to: (1) encode
common visual patterns of a flexible number of categories; (2) encode
discriminative information; and (3) hierarchically extract patterns at
different visual levels. Particularly, in each single layer of DDSFL, shareable
filters are jointly learned for classes which share the similar patterns.
Discriminative power of the filters is achieved by enforcing the features from
the same category to be close, while features from different categories to be
far away from each other. Furthermore, we also propose two exemplar selection
methods to iteratively select training data for more efficient and effective
learning. Based on the experimental results, DDSFL can achieve very promising
performance, and it also shows great complementary effect to the
state-of-the-art Caffe features.Comment: Pattern Recognition, Elsevier, 201
Hyperspectral Image Analysis through Unsupervised Deep Learning
Hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis has become an active research area in computer vision field with a wide range of applications. However, in order to yield better recognition and analysis results, we need to address two challenging issues of HSI, i.e., the existence of mixed pixels and its significantly low spatial resolution (LR). In this dissertation, spectral unmixing (SU) and hyperspectral image super-resolution (HSI-SR) approaches are developed to address these two issues with advanced deep learning models in an unsupervised fashion. A specific application, anomaly detection, is also studied, to show the importance of SU.Although deep learning has achieved the state-of-the-art performance on supervised problems, its practice on unsupervised problems has not been fully developed. To address the problem of SU, an untied denoising autoencoder is proposed to decompose the HSI into endmembers and abundances with non-negative and abundance sum-to-one constraints. The denoising capacity is incorporated into the network with a sparsity constraint to boost the performance of endmember extraction and abundance estimation.Moreover, the first attempt is made to solve the problem of HSI-SR using an unsupervised encoder-decoder architecture by fusing the LR HSI with the high-resolution multispectral image (MSI). The architecture is composed of two encoder-decoder networks, coupled through a shared decoder, to preserve the rich spectral information from the HSI network. It encourages the representations from both modalities to follow a sparse Dirichlet distribution which naturally incorporates the two physical constraints of HSI and MSI. And the angular difference between representations are minimized to reduce the spectral distortion.Finally, a novel detection algorithm is proposed through spectral unmixing and dictionary based low-rank decomposition, where the dictionary is constructed with mean-shift clustering and the coefficients of the dictionary is encouraged to be low-rank. Experimental evaluations show significant improvement on the performance of anomaly detection conducted on the abundances (through SU).The effectiveness of the proposed approaches has been evaluated thoroughly by extensive experiments, to achieve the state-of-the-art results
