In recent years, hyperspectral image classification (HSI) has attracted considerable attention. Various methods based on convolution neural networks have achieved outstanding classification results. However, most of them exited the defects of underutilization of spectral-spatial features, redundant information, and convergence difficulty. To address these problems, a novel 3D-2D multibranch feature fusion and dense attention network are proposed for HSI classification. Specifically, the 3D multibranch feature fusion module integrates multiple receptive fields in spatial and spectral dimensions to obtain shallow features. Then, a 2D densely connected attention module consists of densely connected layers and spatial-channel attention block. The former is used to alleviate the gradient vanishing and enhance the feature reuse during the training process. The latter emphasizes meaningful features and suppresses the interfering information along the two principal dimensions: channel and spatial axes. The experimental results on four benchmark hyperspectral images datasets demonstrate that the model can effectively improve the classification performance with great robustness.

Virtual Samples

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely used in hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) tasks. However, the generated HSI virtual samples by VAEs are often ambiguous, and GANs are prone to the mode collapse, which lead the poor generalization abilities ultimately. Moreover, most of these models only consider the extraction of spectral or spatial features. They fail to combine the two branches interactively and ignore the correlation between them. Consequently, the variational generative adversarial network with crossed spatial and spectral interactions (CSSVGAN) was proposed in this paper, which includes a dual-branch variational Encoder to map spectral and spatial information to different latent spaces, a crossed interactive Generator to improve the quality of generated virtual samples, and a Discriminator stuck with a classifier to enhance the classification performance. Combining these three subnetworks, the proposed CSSVGAN achieves excellent classification by ensuring the diversity and interacting spectral and spatial features in a crossed manner. The superior experimental results on three datasets verify the effectiveness of this method.

Good Classification Performance

Recently, with the extensive application of deep learning techniques in the hyperspectral image (HSI) field, particularly convolutional neural network (CNN), the research of HSI classification has stepped into a new stage. To avoid the problem that the receptive field of naive convolution is small, the dilated convolution is introduced into the field of HSI classification. However, the dilated convolution usually generates blind spots in the receptive field, resulting in discontinuous spatial information obtained. In order to solve the above problem, a densely connected pyramidal dilated convolutional network (PDCNet) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a pyramidal dilated convolutional (PDC) layer integrates different numbers of sub-dilated convolutional layers is proposed, where the dilated factor of the sub-dilated convolution increases exponentially, achieving multi-sacle receptive fields. Secondly, the number of sub-dilated convolutional layers increases in a pyramidal pattern with the depth of the network, thereby capturing more comprehensive hyperspectral information in the receptive field. Furthermore, a feature fusion mechanism combining pixel-by-pixel addition and channel stacking is adopted to extract more abstract spectral–spatial features. Finally, in order to reuse the features of the previous layers more effectively, dense connections are applied in densely pyramidal dilated convolutional (DPDC) blocks. Experiments on three well-known HSI datasets indicate that PDCNet proposed in this paper has good classification performance compared with other popular models.

Classification Tasks

Recently, deep learning methods based on three-dimensional (3-D) convolution have been widely used in the hyperspectral image (HSI) classification tasks and shown good classification performance. However, affected by the irregular distribution of various classes in HSI datasets, most previous 3-D convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models require more training samples to obtain better classification accuracies. In addition, as the network deepens, which leads to the spatial resolution of feature maps gradually decreasing, much useful information may be lost during the training process. Therefore, how to ensure efficient network training is key to the HSI classification tasks. To address the issue mentioned above, in this paper, we proposed a 3-DCNN-based residual group channel and space attention network (RGCSA) for HSI classification. Firstly, the proposed bottom-up top-down attention structure with the residual connection can improve network training efficiency by optimizing channel-wise and spatial-wise features throughout the whole training process. Secondly, the proposed residual group channel-wise attention module can reduce the possibility of losing useful information, and the novel spatial-wise attention module can extract context information to strengthen the spatial features. Furthermore, our proposed RGCSA network only needs few training samples to achieve higher classification accuracies than previous 3-D-CNN-based networks. The experimental results on three commonly used HSI datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed network based on the attention mechanism and the effectiveness of the proposed channel-wise and spatial-wise attention modules for HSI classification. The code and configurations are released at Github.com.

Global Context

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in hyperspectral image classification in recent years. The training of CNNs relies on a large amount of labeled sample data. However, the number of labeled samples of hyperspectral data is relatively small. Moreover, for hyperspectral images, fully extracting spectral and spatial feature information is the key to achieve high classification performance. To solve the above issues, a deep spectral spatial inverted residuals network (DSSIRNet) is proposed. In this network, a data block random erasing strategy is introduced to alleviate the problem of limited labeled samples by data augmentation of small spatial blocks. In addition, a deep inverted residuals (DIR) module for spectral spatial feature extraction is proposed, which locks the effective features of each layer while avoiding network degradation. Furthermore, a global 3D attention module is proposed, which can realize the fine extraction of spectral and spatial global context information under the condition of the same number of input and output feature maps. Experiments are carried out on four commonly used hyperspectral datasets. A large number of experimental results show that compared with some state-of-the-art classification methods, the proposed method can provide higher classification accuracy for hyperspectral images.

Limited Training Samples

In recent years, researches in remote sensing demonstrated that deep architectures with multiple layers can potentially extract abstract and invariant features for better hyperspectral image classification. Since the usual real-world hyperspectral image classification task cannot provide enough training samples for a supervised deep model, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), this work turns to investigate the deep belief networks (DBNs), which allow unsupervised training. The DBN trained over limited training samples usually has many “dead” (never responding) or “potential over-tolerant” (always responding) latent factors (neurons), which decrease the DBN’s description ability and thus finally decrease the hyperspectral image classification performance. This work proposes a new diversified DBN through introducing a diversity promoting prior over the latent factors during the DBN pre-training and fine-tuning procedures. The diversity promoting prior in the training procedures will encourage the latent factors to be uncorrelated, such that each latent factor focuses on modelling unique information, and all factors will be summed up to capture a large proportion of information and thus increase description ability and classification performance of the diversified DBNs. The proposed method was evaluated over the well-known real-world hyperspectral image dataset. The experiments demonstrate that the diversified DBNs can obtain much better results than original DBNs and comparable or even better performances compared with other recent hyperspectral image classification methods.
