Advanced Hyperspectral Data Analysis Software (AVHYAS) plugin is a python3 based quantum GIS (QGIS) plugin designed to process and analyse hyperspectral (Hx) images. It is developed to guarantee full usage of present and future Hx airborne or spaceborne sensors and provides access to advanced algorithms for Hx data processing. The software is freely available and offers a range of basic and advanced tools such as atmospheric correction (for airborne AVIRISNG image), standard processing tools as well as powerful machine learning and Deep Learning interfaces for Hx data analysis.
The study of 3D hyperspectral image (HSI) reconstruction refers to the inverse process of snapshot compressive imaging, during which the optical system, e.g., the coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) system, captures the 3D spatial-spectral signal and encodes it to a 2D measurement. While numerous sophisticated neural networks have been elaborated for end-to-end reconstruction, trade-offs still need to be made among performance, efficiency (training and inference time), and feasibility (the ability of restoring high resolution HSI on limited GPU memory). This raises a challenge to design a new baseline to conjointly meet the above requirements. In this paper, we fill in this blank by proposing a Spatial/Spectral Invariant Residual U-Net, namely SSI-ResU-Net. It differentiates with U-Net in three folds--1) scale/spectral-invariant learning, 2) nested residual learning, and 3) computational efficiency. Benefiting from these three modules, the proposed SSI-ResU-Net outperforms the current state-of-the-art method TSA-Net by over 3 dB in PSNR and 0.036 in SSIM while only using 2.82% trainable parameters. To the greatest extent, SSI-ResU-Net achieves competing performance with over 77.3% reduction in terms of floating-point operations (FLOPs), which for the first time, makes high-resolution HSI reconstruction feasible under practical application scenarios.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) unlocks the huge potential to a wide variety of applications relied on high-precision pathology image segmentation, such as computational pathology and precision medicine. Since hyperspectral pathology images benefit from the rich and detailed spectral information even beyond the visible spectrum, the key to achieve high-precision hyperspectral pathology image segmentation is to felicitously model the context along high-dimensional spectral bands. Inspired by the strong context modeling ability of transformers, we hereby, for the first time, formulate the contextual feature learning across spectral bands for hyperspectral pathology image segmentation as a sequence-to-sequence prediction procedure by transformers. To assist spectral context learning procedure, we introduce two important strategies: (1) a sparsity scheme enforces the learned contextual relationship to be sparse, so as to eliminates the distraction from the redundant bands; (2) a spectral normalization, a separate group normalization for each spectral band, mitigates the nuisance caused by heterogeneous underlying distributions of bands. We name our method Spectral Transformer (SpecTr), which enjoys two benefits: (1) it has a strong ability to model long-range dependency among spectral bands, and (2) it jointly explores the spatial-spectral features of HSI. Experiments show that SpecTr outperforms other competing methods in a hyperspectral pathology image segmentation benchmark without the need of pre-training. Code is available at https://github.com/hfut-xc-yun/SpecTr.
In this paper, we address the hyperspectral image (HSI) classification task with a generative adversarial network and conditional random field (GAN-CRF) -based framework, which integrates a semi-supervised deep learning and a probabilistic graphical model, and make three contributions. First, we design four types of convolutional and transposed convolutional layers that consider the characteristics of HSIs to help with extracting discriminative features from limited numbers of labeled HSI samples. Second, we construct semi-supervised GANs to alleviate the shortage of training samples by adding labels to them and implicitly reconstructing real HSI data distribution through adversarial training. Third, we build dense conditional random fields (CRFs) on top of the random variables that are initialized to the softmax predictions of the trained GANs and are conditioned on HSIs to refine classification maps. This semi-supervised framework leverages the merits of discriminative and generative models through a game-theoretical approach. Moreover, even though we used very small numbers of labeled training HSI samples from the two most challenging and extensively studied datasets, the experimental results demonstrated that spectral-spatial GAN-CRF (SS-GAN-CRF) models achieved top-ranking accuracy for semi-supervised HSI classification.
This paper presents a tensor alignment (TA) based domain adaptation method for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. To be specific, HSIs in both domains are first segmented into superpixels and tensors of both domains are constructed to include neighboring samples from single superpixel. Then we consider the subspace invariance between two domains as projection matrices and original tensors are projected as core tensors with lower dimensions into the invariant tensor subspace by applying Tucker decomposition. To preserve geometric information in original tensors, we employ a manifold regularization term for core tensors into the decomposition progress. The projection matrices and core tensors are solved in an alternating optimization manner and the convergence of TA algorithm is analyzed. In addition, a post-processing strategy is defined via pure samples extraction for each superpixel to further improve classification performance. Experimental results on four real HSIs demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance compared with the state-of-the-art subspace learning methods when a limited amount of source labeled samples are available.
Deep learning methods have shown considerable potential for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, which can achieve high accuracy compared with traditional methods. However, they often need a large number of training samples and have a lot of parameters and high computational overhead. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new network architecture, LiteDepthwiseNet, for HSI classification. Based on 3D depthwise convolution, LiteDepthwiseNet can decompose standard convolution into depthwise convolution and pointwise convolution, which can achieve high classification performance with minimal parameters. Moreover, we remove the ReLU layer and Batch Normalization layer in the original 3D depthwise convolution, which significantly improves the overfitting phenomenon of the model on small sized datasets. In addition, focal loss is used as the loss function to improve the models attention on difficult samples and unbalanced data, and its training performance is significantly better than that of cross-entropy loss or balanced cross-entropy loss. Experiment results on three benchmark hyperspectral datasets show that LiteDepthwiseNet achieves state-of-the-art performance with a very small number of parameters and low computational cost.
