Deep learning is now receiving widespread attention in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, due to the imbalance between a huge number of weights and limited training samples, many problems and difficulties have arisen from the use of deep learning methods in HSI classification. To handle this issue, an efficient deep learning-based HSI classification method, namely, spatial-aware network (SANet) has been proposed in this paper. The main idea of SANet is to exploit discriminative spectral-spatial features by incorporating prior domain knowledge into the deep architecture, where edge-preserving side window filters are used as the convolution kernels. Thus, SANet has a small number of parameters to optimize. This makes it fit for small sample sizes. Furthermore, SANet is able not only to aware local spatial structures using side window filtering framework, but also to learn discriminative features making use of the hierarchical architecture and limited label information. The experimental results on four widely used HSI data sets demonstrate that our proposed SANet significantly outperforms many state-of-the-art approaches when only a small number of training samples are available.

Recently, Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification methods based on deep learning models have shown encouraging performance. However, the limited numbers of training samples, as well as the mixed pixels due to low spatial resolution, have become major obstacles for HSI classification. To tackle these problems, we propose a resource-efficient HSI classification framework which introduces adaptive spectral unmixing into a 3D/2D dense network with early-exiting strategy. More specifically, on one hand, our framework uses a cascade of intermediate classifiers throughout the 3D/2D dense network that is trained end-to-end. The proposed 3D/2D dense network that integrates 3D convolutions with 2D convolutions is more capable of handling spectral-spatial features, while containing fewer parameters compared with the conventional 3D convolutions, and further boosts the network performance with limited training samples. On another hand, considering the existence of mixed pixels in HSI data, the pixels in HSI classification are divided into hard samples and easy samples. With the early-exiting strategy in these intermediate classifiers, the average accuracy can be improved by reducing the amount of computation cost for easy samples, thus focusing on classifying hard samples. Furthermore, for hard samples, an adaptive spectral unmixing method is proposed as a complementary source of information for classification, which brings considerable benefits to the final performance. Experimental results on four HSI benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods and other traditional HSI classification methods.

In recent years, researchers have paid increasing attention on hyperspectral image (HSI) classification using deep learning methods. To improve the accuracy and reduce the training samples, we propose a double-branch dual-attention mechanism network (DBDA) for HSI classification in this paper. Two branches are designed in DBDA to capture plenty of spectral and spatial features contained in HSI. Furthermore, a channel attention block and a spatial attention block are applied to these two branches respectively, which enables DBDA to refine and optimize the extracted feature maps. A series of experiments on four hyperspectral datasets show that the proposed framework has superior performance to the state-of-the-art algorithm, especially when the training samples are signally lacking.

Current underwater shipwreck side scan sonar samples are few and difficult to label. With small sample sizes, their image recognition accuracy with a convolutional neural network model is low. In this study, we proposed an image recognition method for shipwreck side scan sonar that combines transfer learning with deep learning. In the non-transfer learning, shipwreck sonar sample data were used to train the network, and the results were saved as the control group. The weakly correlated data were applied to train the network, then the network parameters were transferred to the new network, and then the shipwreck sonar data was used for training. These steps were repeated using strongly correlated data. Experiments were carried out on Lenet-5, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet and VGG networks. Without transfer learning, the highest accuracy was obtained on the ResNet network (86.27%). Using weakly correlated data for transfer training, the highest accuracy was on the VGG network (92.16%). Using strongly correlated data for transfer training, the highest accuracy was also on the VGG network (98.04%). In all network architectures, transfer learning improved the correct recognition rate of convolutional neural network models. Experiments show that transfer learning combined with deep learning improves the accuracy and generalization of the convolutional neural network in the case of small sample sizes.

Rgb Image

In recent years, deep learning technology has been widely used in the field of hyperspectral image classification and achieved good performance. However, deep learning networks need a large amount of training samples, which conflicts with the limited labeled samples of hyperspectral images. Traditional deep networks usually construct each pixel as a subject, ignoring the integrity of the hyperspectral data and the methods based on feature extraction are likely to lose the edge information which plays a crucial role in the pixel-level classification. To overcome the limit of annotation samples, we propose a new three-channel image build method (virtual RGB image) by which the trained networks on natural images are used to extract the spatial features. Through the trained network, the hyperspectral data are disposed as a whole. Meanwhile, we propose a multiscale feature fusion method to combine both the detailed and semantic characteristics, thus promoting the accuracy of classification. Experiments show that the proposed method can achieve ideal results better than the state-of-art methods. In addition, the virtual RGB image can be extended to other hyperspectral processing methods that need to use three-channel images.

Hyperspectral Classification

Hyperspectral images are widely used for classification due to its rich spectral information along with spatial information. To process the high dimensionality and high nonlinearity of hyperspectral images, deep learning methods based on convolutional neural network (CNN) are widely used in hyperspectral classification applications. However, most CNN structures are stacked vertically in addition to using a onefold size of convolutional kernels or pooling layers, which cannot fully mine the multiscale information on the hyperspectral images. When such networks meet the practical challenge of a limited labeled hyperspectral image dataset—i.e., “small sample problem”—the classification accuracy and generalization ability would be limited. In this paper, to tackle the small sample problem, we apply the semantic segmentation function to the pixel-level hyperspectral classification due to their comparability. A lightweight, multiscale squeeze-and-excitation pyramid pooling network (MSPN) is proposed. It consists of a multiscale 3D CNN module, a squeezing and excitation module, and a pyramid pooling module with 2D CNN. Such a hybrid 2D-3D-CNN MSPN framework can learn and fuse deeper hierarchical spatial–spectral features with fewer training samples. The proposed MSPN was tested on three publicly available hyperspectral classification datasets: Indian Pine, Salinas, and Pavia University. Using 5%, 0.5%, and 0.5% training samples of the three datasets, the classification accuracies of the MSPN were 96.09%, 97%, and 96.56%, respectively. In addition, we also selected the latest dataset with higher spatial resolution, named WHU-Hi-LongKou, as the challenge object. Using only 0.1% of the training samples, we could achieve a 97.31% classification accuracy, which is far superior to the state-of-the-art hyperspectral classification methods.

Hyperspectral Classification

Convolutional neural networks provide an ideal solution for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, the classification effect is not satisfactory when limited training samples are available. Focused on “small sample” hyperspectral classification, we proposed a novel 3D-2D-convolutional neural network (CNN) model named AD-HybridSN (Attention-Dense-HybridSN). In our proposed model, a dense block was used to reuse shallow features and aimed at better exploiting hierarchical spatial–spectral features. Subsequent depth separable convolutional layers were used to discriminate the spatial information. Further refinement of spatial–spectral features was realized by the channel attention method and spatial attention method, which were performed behind every 3D convolutional layer and every 2D convolutional layer, respectively. Experiment results indicate that our proposed model can learn more discriminative spatial–spectral features using very few training data. In Indian Pines, Salinas and the University of Pavia, AD-HybridSN obtain 97.02%, 99.59% and 98.32% overall accuracy using only 5%, 1% and 1% labeled data for training, respectively, which are far better than all the contrast models.

Sar Target Recognition

At present, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) has been deeply researched and widely used in military and civilian fields. SAR images are very sensitive to the azimuth aspect of the imaging geomety; the same target at different aspects differs greatly. Thus, the multi-aspect SAR image sequence contains more information for classification and recognition, which requires the reliable and robust multi-aspect target recognition method. Nowadays, SAR target recognition methods are mostly based on deep learning. However, the SAR dataset is usually expensive to obtain, especially for a certain target. It is difficult to obtain enough samples for deep learning model training. This paper proposes a multi-aspect SAR target recognition method based on a prototypical network. Furthermore, methods such as multi-task learning and multi-level feature fusion are also introduced to enhance the recognition accuracy under the case of a small number of training samples. The experiments by using the MSTAR dataset have proven that the recognition accuracy of our method can be close to the accruacy level by all samples and our method can be applied to other feather extraction models to deal with small sample learning problems.

AbstractMotivationAccurately predicting cancer prognosis is necessary to choose precise strategies of treatment for patients. One of effective approaches in the prediction is the integration of multi-omics data, which reduces the impact of noise within single omics data. However, integrating multi-omics data brings large number of redundant variables and relative small sample sizes. In this study, we employed Autoencoder networks to extract important features that were then input to the proportional hazards model to predict the cancer prognosis.ResultsThe method was applied to 12 common cancers from the Cancer Genome Atlas. The results show that the multi-omics averagely improves 4.1% C-index for prognosis prediction over single mRNA data, and our method outperforms previous approaches by at least 7.4%. A comparison of the contribution of single omics data show that mRNA contributes the most, followed by the DNA methylation, miRNA, and the copy number variation. In the case study for differential gene expression analysis, we identified 161 differentially expressed genes in the cervical cancer, among which 77 genes (65.8%) have been proven to be associated with cancer. In addition, we performed the cross-cancer test where the model trained on one cancer was used to predict the prognosis of another cancer, and found 23 pairs of cancers have a C-index larger than 0.5, with the largest value of 0.68. Thus, this study has provided a deep learning framework to effectively integrate multiple omics data to predict cancer prognosis.

Deep learning techniques have boosted the performance of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. In particular, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown superior performance to that of the conventional machine learning algorithms. Recently, a novel type of neural networks called capsule networks (CapsNets) was presented to improve the most advanced CNNs. In this paper, we present a modified two-layer CapsNet with limited training samples for HSI classification, which is inspired by the comparability and simplicity of the shallower deep learning models. The presented CapsNet is trained using two real HSI datasets, i.e., the PaviaU (PU) and SalinasA datasets, representing complex and simple datasets, respectively, and which are used to investigate the robustness or representation of every model or classifier. In addition, a comparable paradigm of network architecture design has been proposed for the comparison of CNN and CapsNet. Experiments demonstrate that CapsNet shows better accuracy and convergence behavior for the complex data than the state-of-the-art CNN. For CapsNet using the PU dataset, the Kappa coefficient, overall accuracy, and average accuracy are 0.9456, 95.90%, and 96.27%, respectively, compared to the corresponding values yielded by CNN of 0.9345, 95.11%, and 95.63%. Moreover, we observed that CapsNet has much higher confidence for the predicted probabilities. Subsequently, this finding was analyzed and discussed with probability maps and uncertainty analysis. In terms of the existing literature, CapsNet provides promising results and explicit merits in comparison with CNN and two baseline classifiers, i.e., random forests (RFs) and support vector machines (SVMs).
