Three-dimensional convolutional neural network model for tree species classification using airborne hyperspectral images

Abstract. The classification of tree species can significantly benefit from high spatial and spectral information acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) associated with advanced feature extraction and classification methods. Different from the traditional feature extraction methods, that highly depend on user’s knowledge, the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method can automatically learn and extract the spatial-related features layer by layer. However, in order to capture significant features of the data, the CNN classifier requires a large number of training samples, which are hardly available when dealing with tree species in tropical forests. This study investigated the following topics concerning the classification of 14 tree species in a subtropical forest area of Southern Brazil: i) the performance of the CNN method associated with a previous step to increase and balance the sample set (data augmentation) for tree species classification as compared to the conventional machine learning methods support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) using the original training data; ii) the performance of the SVM and RF classifiers when associated with a data augmentation step and spatial features extracted from a CNN. Results showed that the CNN classifier outperformed the conventional SVM and RF classifiers, reaching an overall accuracy (OA) of 84.37% and Kappa of 0.82. The SVM and RF had a poor accuracy with the original spectral bands (OA 62.67% and 59.24%) but presented an increase between 14% and 21% in OA when associated with a data augmentation and spatial features extracted from a CNN.

Panthera merupakan genus dari keluarga kucing yang memiliki empat spesies popular yaitu, harimau, jaguar, macan tutul, singa. Singa memiliki warna keemasan dan tidak memilki motif, harimau memiliki motif loreng dengan garis-garis panjang, jaguar memiliki tubuh yang lebih besar dari pada macan tutul serta memiliki motif tutul yang lebih lebar, sedangkan macan tutul memiliki tubuh yang sedikit lebih ramping dari pada jaguar dan memiliki tutul yang tidak terlalu lebar. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan klasifikasi genus panther yaitu harimau, jaguar, macan tutul, dan singa menggunakan metode Convolutional Neural Network. Model Convolutional Neural Network yang digunakan memiliki 1 input layer, 5 convolution layer, dan 2 fully connected layer. Dataset yang digunakan berupa citra harimau, jaguar, macan tutul, dan singa. Data training terdiri dari 3840 citra, data validasi sebanyak 960 citra, dan data testing sebanyak 800 citra. Hasil akurasi dari pelatihan model untuk training yaitu 92,31% dan validasi yaitu 81,88%, pengujian model menggunakan dataset testing mendapatan hasil 68%. Hasil akurasi prediksi didapatkan dari nilai F1-Score pada pengujian didapatkan sebesar 78% untuk harimau, 70% untuk jaguar, 37% untuk macan tutul, 74% untuk singa. Macan tutul mendapatkan akurasi terendah dibandingkan 3 hewan lainnya tetapi lebih baik dibandingkan hasil penelitian sebelumnya.
