Hyperspectral sensors are passive instruments that record reflected electromagnetic radiation in tens or hundreds of narrow and consecutive spectral bands. In the last two decades, the availability of hyperspectral data has sharply increased, propelling the development of a plethora of hyperspectral classification and target detection algorithms. Anomaly detection methods in hyperspectral images refer to a class of target detection methods that do not require any a-priori knowledge about a hyperspectral scene or target spectrum. They are unsupervised learning techniques that automatically discover rare features on hyperspectral images. This review paper is organized into two parts: part A provides a bibliographic analysis of hyperspectral image processing for anomaly detection in remote sensing applications. Development of the subject field is discussed, and key authors and journals are highlighted. In part B an overview of the topic is presented, starting from the mathematical framework for anomaly detection. The anomaly detection methods were generally categorized as techniques that implement structured or unstructured background models and then organized into appropriate sub-categories. Specific anomaly detection methods are presented with corresponding detection statistics, and their properties are discussed. This paper represents the first review regarding hyperspectral image processing for anomaly detection in remote sensing applications.

Anomaly detection aims to separate anomalous pixels from the background, and has become an important application of remotely sensed hyperspectral image processing. Anomaly detection methods based on low-rank and sparse representation (LRASR) can accurately detect anomalous pixels. However, with the significant volume increase of hyperspectral image repositories, such techniques consume a significant amount of time (mainly due to the massive amount of matrix computations involved). In this paper, we propose a novel distributed parallel algorithm (DPA) by redesigning key operators of LRASR in terms of MapReduce model to accelerate LRASR on cloud computing architectures. Independent computation operators are explored and executed in parallel on Spark. Specifically, we reconstitute the hyperspectral images in an appropriate format for efficient DPA processing, design the optimized storage strategy, and develop a pre-merge mechanism to reduce data transmission. Besides, a repartitioning policy is also proposed to improve DPA’s efficiency. Our experimental results demonstrate that the newly developed DPA achieves very high speedups when accelerating LRASR, in addition to maintaining similar accuracies. Moreover, our proposed DPA is shown to be scalable with the number of computing nodes and capable of processing big hyperspectral images involving massive amounts of data.

Hyperspectral imaging is an indispensable technology for many remote sensing applications, yet expensive in terms of computing resources. It requires significant processing power and large storage due to the immense size of hyperspectral data, especially in the aftermath of the recent advancements in sensor technology. Issues pertaining to bandwidth limitation also arise when seeking to transfer such data from airborne satellites to ground stations for postprocessing. This is particularly crucial for small satellite applications where the platform is confined to limited power, weight, and storage capacity. The availability of onboard data compression would help alleviate the impact of these issues while preserving the information contained in the hyperspectral image. We present herein a systematic review of hardware-accelerated compression of hyperspectral images targeting remote sensing applications. We reviewed a total of 101 papers published from 2000 to 2021. We present a comparative performance analysis of the synthesized results with an emphasis on metrics like power requirement, throughput, and compression ratio. Furthermore, we rank the best algorithms based on efficiency and elaborate on the major factors impacting the performance of hardware-accelerated compression. We conclude by highlighting some of the research gaps in the literature and recommend potential areas of future research.

Multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) images have been successfully and widely used in remote sensing applications such as target detection, change detection, and anomaly detection. In this paper, we aim at reviewing recent change detection papers and raising some challenges and opportunities in the field from a practitioner’s viewpoint using MS and HS images. For example, can we perform change detection using synthetic hyperspectral images? Can we use temporally-fused images to perform change detection? Some of these areas are ongoing and will require more research attention in the coming years. Moreover, in order to understand the context of our paper, some recent and representative algorithms in change detection using MS and HS images are included, and their advantages and disadvantages will be highlighted.

Abstract. Hyperspectral imaging, with its applications, offers promising tools for remote sensing and Earth observation. Recent development has increased the quality of the sensors. At the same time, the prices of the sensors are lowering. Anomaly detection is one of the popular remote sensing applications, which benefits from real-time solutions. A real-time solution has its limitations, for example, due to a large amount of hyperspectral data, platform’s (drones or a cube satellite) constraints on payload and processing capability. Other examples are the limitations of available energy and the complexity of the machine learning models. When anomalies are detected in real-time from the hyperspectral images, one crucial factor is to utilise a computationally efficient method. The Minimal Learning Machine is a distance-based classification algorithm, which can be modified for anomaly detection. Earlier studies confirms that the Minimal learning Machine (MLM) is capable of detecting efficiently global anomalies from the hyperspectral images with a false alarm rate of zero. In this study, we will show that by using a carefully selected lower threshold besides the higher threshold of the variance, it is possible to detect local and global anomalies with the MLM. The downside is that the improved method is highly sensitive with the respect to the noise. Thus, the second aim of this study is to improve the MLM’s robustness with respect to noise by introducing a novel approach, the piecewise MLM. With the new approach, the piecewise MLM can detect global and local anomalies, and the method is significantly more robust with respect to noise than the MLM. As a result, we have an interesting, easy to implement and computationally light method which is suitable for remote sensing applications.

Purpose Image classification is a fundamental form of digital image processing in which pixels are labeled into one of the object classes present in the image. Multispectral image classification is a challenging task due to complexities associated with the images captured by satellites. Accurate image classification is highly essential in remote sensing applications. However, existing machine learning and deep learning–based classification methods could not provide desired accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to classify the objects in the satellite image with greater accuracy. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a deep learning-based automated method for classifying multispectral images. The central issue of this work is that data sets collected from public databases are first divided into a number of patches and their features are extracted. The features extracted from patches are then concatenated before a classification method is used to classify the objects in the image. Findings The performance of proposed modified velocity-based colliding bodies optimization method is compared with existing methods in terms of type-1 measures such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, net present value, F1 Score and Matthews correlation coefficient and type 2 measures such as false discovery rate and false positive rate. The statistical results obtained from the proposed method show better performance than existing methods. Originality/value In this work, multispectral image classification accuracy is improved with an optimization algorithm called modified velocity-based colliding bodies optimization.

Hyper-spectral images contain a wide range of bands or wavelength due to which they are rich in information. These images are taken by specialized sensors and then investigated through various supervised or unsupervised learning algorithms. Data that is acquired by hyperspectral image contain plenty of information hence it can be used in applications where materials can be analyzed keenly, even the smallest difference can be detected on the basis of spectral signature i.e. remote sensing applications. In order to retrieve information about the concerned area, the image has to be grouped in different segments and can be analyzed conveniently. In this way, only concerned portions of the image can be studied that have relevant information and the rest that do not have any information can be discarded. Image segmentation can be done to assort all pixels in groups. Many methods can be used for this purpose but in this paper, we discussed k means clustering to assort data in AVIRIS cuprite, AVIRIS Muffet and Rosis Pavia in order to calculate the number of regions in each image and retrieved information of 1st, 10th and100th band. Clustering has been done easily and efficiently as k means algorithm is the easiest approach to retrieve information.

Abstract. High spectral dimensionality of hyperspectral images makes them useful data resources for earth observation in many remote sensing applications. In this case, the convolutional neural network (CNN) can help to extract deep and robust features from hyperspectral images. The main goal of this paper is to use deep learning concept to extract deep features from hyperspectral datasets to achieve better classification results. In this study, after pre-processing step, data is fed to a CNN in order to extract deep features. Extracted features are then imported in a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network as our selected classifier. Obtained classification accuracies, based on training sample size, vary from 94.3 to 97.17% and 92.35 to 98.14% for Salinas and Pavia datasets, respectively. These results expressed more than 10% improvements compared to the classic MLP classification technique.
