Deep learning methods have played a more and more important role in hyperspectral image classification. However, the general deep learning methods mainly take advantage of the information of sample itself or the pairwise information between samples while ignore the intrinsic data structure within the whole data. To tackle this problem, this work develops a novel deep manifold embedding method(DMEM) for hyperspectral image classification. First, each class in the image is modelled as a specific nonlinear manifold and the geodesic distance is used to measure the correlation between the samples. Then, based on the hierarchical clustering, the manifold structure of the data can be captured and each nonlinear data manifold can be divided into several sub-classes. Finally, considering the distribution of each sub-class and the correlation between different subclasses, the DMEM is constructed to preserve the estimated geodesic distances on the data manifold between the learned low dimensional features of different samples. Experiments over three real-world hyperspectral image datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In remote sensing, hyperspectral (HS) and multispectral (MS) image fusion have emerged as a synthesis tool to improve the data set resolution. However, conventional image fusion methods typically degrade the performance of the land cover classification. In this paper, a feature fusion method from HS and MS images for pixel-based classification is proposed. More precisely, the proposed method first extracts spatial features from the MS image using morphological profiles. Then, the feature fusion model assumes that both the extracted morphological profiles and the HS image can be described as a feature matrix lying in different subspaces. An algorithm based on combining alternating optimization (AO) and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is developed to solve efficiently the feature fusion problem. Finally, extensive simulations were run to evaluate the performance of the proposed feature fusion approach for two data sets. In general, the proposed approach exhibits a competitive performance compared to other feature extraction methods.
Deep learning techniques have provided significant improvements in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. The current deep learning based HSI classifiers follow a patch-based learning framework by dividing the image into overlapping patches. As such, these methods are local learning methods, which have a high computational cost. In this paper, a fast patch-free global learning (FPGA) framework is proposed for HSI classification. In FPGA, an encoder-decoder based FCN is utilized to consider the global spatial information by processing the whole image, which results in fast inference. However, it is difficult to directly utilize the encoder-decoder based FCN for HSI classification as it always fails to converge due to the insufficiently diverse gradients caused by the limited training samples. To solve the divergence problem and maintain the abilities of FCN of fast inference and global spatial information mining, a global stochastic stratified sampling strategy is first proposed by transforming all the training samples into a stochastic sequence of stratified samples. This strategy can obtain diverse gradients to guarantee the convergence of the FCN in the FPGA framework. For a better design of FCN architecture, FreeNet, which is a fully end-to-end network for HSI classification, is proposed to maximize the exploitation of the global spatial information and boost the performance via a spectral attention based encoder and a lightweight decoder. A lateral connection module is also designed to connect the encoder and decoder, fusing the spatial details in the encoder and the semantic features in the decoder. The experimental results obtained using three public benchmark datasets suggest that the FPGA framework is superior to the patch-based framework in both speed and accuracy for HSI classification.

Nowadays, deep learning methods, especially the convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have shown impressive performance on extracting abstract and high-level features from the hyperspectral image. However, general training process of CNNs mainly considers the pixel-wise information or the samples correlation to formulate the penalization while ignores the statistical properties especially the spectral variability of each class in the hyperspectral image. These samples-based penalizations would lead to the uncertainty of the training process due to the imbalanced and limited number of training samples. To overcome this problem, this work characterizes each class from the hyperspectral image as a statistical distribution and further develops a novel statistical loss with the distributions, not directly with samples for deep learning. Based on the Fisher discrimination criterion, the loss penalizes the sample variance of each class distribution to decrease the intra-class variance of the training samples. Moreover, an additional diversity-promoting condition is added to enlarge the inter-class variance between different class distributions and this could better discriminate samples from different classes in hyperspectral image. Finally, the statistical estimation form of the statistical loss is developed with the training samples through multi-variant statistical analysis. Experiments over the real-world hyperspectral images show the effectiveness of the developed statistical loss for deep learning.
Attributes act as intermediate representations that enable parameter sharing between classes, a must when training data is scarce. We propose to view attribute-based image classification as a label-embedding problem: each class is embedded in the space of attribute vectors. We introduce a function that measures the compatibility between an image and a label embedding. The parameters of this function are learned on a training set of labeled samples to ensure that, given an image, the correct classes rank higher than the incorrect ones. Results on the Animals With Attributes and Caltech-UCSD-Birds datasets show that the proposed framework outperforms the standard Direct Attribute Prediction baseline in a zero-shot learning scenario. Label embedding enjoys a built-in ability to leverage alternative sources of information instead of or in addition to attributes, such as e.g. class hierarchies or textual descriptions. Moreover, label embedding encompasses the whole range of learning settings from zero-shot learning to regular learning with a large number of labeled examples.
By considering the spectral signature as a sequence, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been successfully used to learn discriminative features from hyperspectral images (HSIs) recently. However, most of these models only input the whole spectral bands into RNNs directly, which may not fully explore the specific properties of HSIs. In this paper, we propose a cascaded RNN model using gated recurrent units (GRUs) to explore the redundant and complementary information of HSIs. It mainly consists of two RNN layers. The first RNN layer is used to eliminate redundant information between adjacent spectral bands, while the second RNN layer aims to learn the complementary information from non-adjacent spectral bands. To improve the discriminative ability of the learned features, we design two strategies for the proposed model. Besides, considering the rich spatial information contained in HSIs, we further extend the proposed model to its spectral-spatial counterpart by incorporating some convolutional layers. To test the effectiveness of our proposed models, we conduct experiments on two widely used HSIs. The experimental results show that our proposed models can achieve better results than the compared models.
