In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised learning classification framework using box-based smooth ordering and multiple 1D-embedding-based interpolation (M1DEI) in [J. Wang, Semi-supervised learning using multiple one-dimensional embedding-based adaptive interpolation, Int. J. Wavelets Multiresolut. Inf. Process. 14(2) (2016) 11 pp.] for hyperspectral images. Due to the lack of labeled samples, conventional supervised approaches cannot generally perform efficient enough. On the other hand, obtaining labeled samples for hyperspectral image classification is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, while unlabeled samples are easily available. The proposed method can effectively overcome the lack of labeled samples by introducing new labeled samples from unlabeled samples in a label boosting framework. Furthermore, the proposed method uses spatial information from the pixels in the neighborhood of the current pixel to better catch the features of hyperspectral image. The proposed idea is that, first, we extract the box (cube data) of each pixel from its neighborhood, then apply multiple 1D interpolation to construct the classifier. Experimental results on three hyperspectral data sets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, and outperforms recent popular semi-supervised methods in terms of accuracies.

Data Set

Hyperspectral image classification has been one of the most popular research areas in the remote sensing community in the past decades. However, there are still some problems that need specific attentions. For example, the lack of enough labeled samples and the high dimensionality problem are two most important issues which degrade the performance of supervised classification dramatically. The main idea of semi-supervised learning is to overcome these issues by the contribution of unlabeled samples, which are available in an enormous amount. In this paper, we propose a graph-based semi-supervised classification method, which uses both spectral and spatial information for hyperspectral image classification. More specifically, two graphs were designed and constructed in order to exploit the relationship among pixels in spectral and spatial spaces respectively. Then, the Laplacians of both graphs were merged to form a weighted joint graph. The experiments were carried out on two different benchmark hyperspectral data sets. The proposed method performed significantly better than the well-known supervised classification methods, such as SVM. The assessments consisted of both accuracy and homogeneity analyses of the produced classification maps. The proposed spectral-spatial SSL method considerably increased the classification accuracy when the labeled training data set is too scarce.When there were only five labeled samples for each class, the performance improved 5.92% and 10.76% compared to spatial graph-based SSL, for AVIRIS Indian Pine and Pavia University data sets respectively.

This paper introduces a novel multi-view multi-learner (MVML) active learning method, in which the different views are generated by a genetic algorithm (GA). The GA-based view generation method attempts to construct diverse, sufficient, and independent views by considering both inter- and intra-view confidences. Hyperspectral data inherently owns high dimensionality, which makes it suitable for multi-view learning algorithms. Furthermore, by employing multiple learners at each view, a more accurate estimation of the underlying data distribution can be obtained. We also implemented a spectral-spatial graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) method as the classifier, which improved the performance of the classification task in comparison with supervised learning. The evaluation of the proposed method was based on three different benchmark hyperspectral data sets. The results were also compared with other state-of-the-art AL-SSL methods. The experimental results demonstrated the efficiency and statistically significant superiority of the proposed method. The GA-MVML AL method improved the classification performances by 16.68%, 18.37%, and 15.1% for different data sets after 40 iterations.

Spatial Features

Hyperspectral image classification has been acknowledged as the fundamental and challenging task of hyperspectral data processing. The abundance of spectral and spatial information has provided great opportunities to effectively characterize and identify ground materials. In this paper, we propose a spectral and spatial classification framework for hyperspectral images based on Random Multi-Graphs (RMGs). The RMG is a graph-based ensemble learning method, which is rarely considered in hyperspectral image classification. It is empirically verified that the semi-supervised RMG deals well with small sample setting problems. This kind of problem is very common in hyperspectral image applications. In the proposed method, spatial features are extracted based on linear prediction error analysis and local binary patterns; spatial features and spectral features are then stacked into high dimensional vectors. The high dimensional vectors are fed into the RMG for classification. By randomly selecting a subset of features to create a graph, the proposed method can achieve excellent classification performance. The experiments on three real hyperspectral datasets have demonstrated that the proposed method exhibits better performance than several closely related methods.

Proposed Model

Random forest (RF) has obtained great success in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, RF cannot leverage its full potential in the case of limited labeled samples. To address this issue, we propose a unified framework that embeds active learning (AL) and semi-supervised learning (SSL) into RF (ASSRF). Our aim is to utilize AL and SSL simultaneously to improve the performance of RF. The objective of the proposed method is to use a small number of manually labeled samples to train classifiers with relative high classification accuracy. To achieve this goal, a new query function is designed to query the most informative samples for manual labeling, and a new pseudolabeling strategy is introduced to select some samples for pseudolabeling. Compared with other AL- and SSL-based methods, the proposed method has several advantages. First, ASSRF utilizes the spatial information to construct a query function for AL, which can select more informative samples. Second, in addition to providing more labeled samples for SSL, the proposed pseudolabeling method avoids bias caused by AL-labeled samples. Finally, the proposed model retains the advantages of RF. To demonstrate the effectiveness of ASSRF, we conducted experiments on three real hyperspectral data sets. The experimental results have shown that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

Spectral Bands

Jointly using spectral and spatial information has become a mainstream strategy in the field of hyperspectral image (HSI) processing, especially for classification. However, due to the existence of noisy or correlated spectral bands in the spectral domain and inhomogeneous pixels in the spatial neighborhood, HSI classification results are often degraded and unsatisfactory. Motivated by the attention mechanism, this paper proposes a spatial–spectral squeeze-and-excitation (SSSE) module to adaptively learn the weights for different spectral bands and for different neighboring pixels. The SSSE structure can suppress or motivate features at a certain position, which can effectively resist noise interference and improve the classification results. Furthermore, we embed several SSSE modules into a residual network architecture and generate an SSSE-based residual network (SSSERN) model for HSI classification. The proposed SSSERN method is compared with several existing deep learning networks on two benchmark hyperspectral data sets. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed network.

Hyperspectral Image Classification

Applying limited labeled samples to improve classification results is a challenge in hyperspectral images. Active Learning (AL) and Semisupervised Learning (SSL) are two promising techniques to achieve this challenge. Combining AL with SSL is an excellent idea for hyperspectral image classification. The traditional method, such as the Collaborative Active and Semisupervised Learning algorithm (CASSL), may introduce many incorrect pseudolabels and shows premature convergence. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel framework named Double-Strategy-Check Collaborative Active and Semisupervised Learning (DSC-CASSL) is proposed in this paper. This framework combines two different AL algorithms and SSL in a collaborative mode. The double-strategy verification can gradually improve the pseudolabeling accuracy and facilitate SSL. We evaluate the performance of DSC-CASSL on four hyperspectral data sets and compare it with that of four hyperspectral image classification methods. Our results suggest that DSC-CASSL leads to consistent improvement for hyperspectral image classification.
