Hyperspectral images provide abundant spatial and spectral information that is very valuable for material detection in diverse areas of practical science. The high-dimensions of data lead to many processing challenges that can be addressed via existent spatial and spectral redundancies. In this paper, a sparse modeling framework is proposed for hyperspectral image classification. Spectral blocks are introduced to be used along with spatial groups to jointly exploit spectral and spatial redundancies. To reduce the computational complexity of sparse modeling, spectral blocks are used to break the high-dimensional optimization problems into small-size sub-problems that are faster to solve. Furthermore, the proposed sparse structure enables to extract the most discriminative spectral blocks and further reduce the computational burden. Experiments on three benchmark datasets, i.e., Pavia University Image and Indian Pines Image verify that the proposed method leads to a robust sparse modeling of hyperspectral images and improves the classification accuracy compared to several state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the experiments demonstrate that the proposed method requires less processing time.
Hyperspectral imaging systems collect and process information from specific wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum. The fusion of multi-spectral bands in the visible spectrum has been exploited to improve face recognition performance over all the conventional broad band face images. In this book chapter, we propose a new Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) framework which adopts a structural sparsity learning technique to select the optimal spectral bands to obtain the best face recognition performance over all of the spectral bands. Specifically, in this method, images from all bands …

Although the sparse multinomial logistic regression (SMLR) has provided a useful tool for sparse classification, it suffers from inefficacy in dealing with high dimensional features and manually set initial regressor values. This has significantly constrained its applications for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. In order to tackle these two drawbacks, an extreme sparse multinomial logistic regression (ESMLR) is proposed for effective classification of HSI. First, the HSI dataset is projected to a new feature space with randomly generated weight and bias. Second, an optimization model …

Sparse representation models a signal as a linear combination of a small number of dictionary atoms. As a generative model, it requires the dictionary to be highly redundant in order to ensure both a stable high sparsity level and a low reconstruction error for the signal. However, in practice, this requirement is usually impaired by the lack of labelled training samples. Fortunately, previous research has shown that the requirement for a redundant dictionary can be less rigorous if simultaneous sparse approximation is employed, which can be carried out by enforcing various structured sparsity…

Although extreme learning machine (ELM) has been successfully applied to a number of pattern recognition problems, it fails to pro-vide sufficient good results in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification due to two main drawbacks. The first is due to the random weights and bias of ELM, which may lead to ill-posed problems. The second is the lack of spatial information for classification. To tackle these two problems, in this paper, we propose a new framework for ELM based spectral-spatial classification of HSI, where probabilistic modelling with sparse representation and weighted composite fea…

Subspace clustering techniques have shown promise in hyperspectral image segmentation. The fundamental assumption in subspace clustering is that the samples belonging to different clusters/segments lie in separable subspaces. What if this condition does not hold? We surmise that even if the condition does not hold in the original space, the data may be nonlinearly transformed to a space where it will be separable into subspaces. In this work, we propose a transformation based on the tenets of deep dictionary learning (DDL). In particular, we incorporate the sparse subspace clustering (SSC) los…
This paper presents a structured dictionary-based model for hyperspectral data that incorporates both spectral and contextual characteristics of a spectral sample, with the goal of hyperspectral image classification. The idea is to partition the pixels of a hyperspectral image into a number of spatial neighborhoods called contextual groups and to model each pixel with a linear combination of a few dictionary elements learned from the data. Since pixels inside a contextual group are often made up of the same materials, their linear combinations are constrained to use common elements from the di…

Dimensionality reduction is a crucial preprocessing for hyperspectral data analysis - finding an appropriate subspace is often required for subsequent image classification. In recent work, we proposed supervised angular information based dimensionality reduction methods to find effective subspaces. Since unlabeled data are often more readily available compared to labeled data, we propose an unsupervised projection that finds a lower dimensional subspace where local angular information is preserved. To exploit spatial information from the hyperspectral images, we further extend our unsupervised…

Pixel-wise classification, where each pixel is assigned to a predefined class, is one of the most important procedures in hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. By representing a test pixel as a linear combination of a small subset of labeled pixels, a sparse representation classifier (SRC) gives rather plausible results compared with that of traditional classifiers such as the support vector machine (SVM). Recently, by incorporating additional structured sparsity priors, the second generation SRCs have appeared in the literature and are reported to further improve the performance of HSI. These p…

Recently, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been developed to explore spatial relationship between pixels, achieving better classification performance of hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, these methods fail to sufficiently leverage the relationship between spectral bands in HSI data. As such, we propose an adaptive cross-attention-driven spatial-spectral graph convolutional network (ACSS-GCN), which is composed of a spatial GCN (Sa-GCN) subnetwork, a spectral GCN (Se-GCN) subnetwork, and a graph cross-attention fusion module (GCAFM). Specifically, Sa-GCN and Se-GCN are proposed to e…

This work proposes a new framework for deep learning that has been particularly tailored for hyperspectral image classification. We learn multiple levels of dictionaries in a robust fashion. The last layer is discriminative that learns a linear classifier. The training proceeds greedily, at a time a single level of dictionary is learnt and the coefficients used to train the next level. The coefficients from the final level are used for classification. Robustness is incorporated by minimizing the absolute deviations instead of the more popular Euclidean norm. The inbuilt robustness helps combat…
This thesis proposes spatio-spectral techniques for hyperspectral image analysis. Adaptive spatio-spectral support and variable exposure hyperspectral imaging is demonstrated to improve spectral reflectance recovery from hyperspectral images. Novel spectral dimensionality reduction techniques have been proposed from the perspective of spectral only and spatio-spectral information preservation. It was found that the joint sparse and joint group sparse hyperspectral image models achieve lower reconstruction error and higher recognition accuracy using only a small subset of bands. Hyperspectral i…

Dictionary learning algorithms have been successfully used in both reconstructive and discriminative tasks, where the input signal is represented by a linear combination of a few dictionary atoms. While these methods are usually developed under $\ell_1$ sparsity constrain (prior) in the input domain, recent studies have demonstrated the advantages of sparse representation using structured sparsity priors in the kernel domain. In this paper, we propose a supervised dictionary learning algorithm in the kernel domain for hyperspectral image classification. In the proposed formulation, the diction…

Traditional Active/Self/Interactive Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification (HSIC) increases the size of the training set without considering the class scatters and randomness among the existing and new samples. Second, very limited research has been carried out on joint spectral-spatial information and finally, a minor but still worth mentioning is the stopping criteria which not being much considered by the community. Therefore, this work proposes a novel fuzziness-based spatial-spectral within and between for both local and global class discriminant information preserving (FLG) meth…

In the proposed SEHybridSN model, a dense block was used to reuse shallow feature and aimed at better exploiting hierarchical spatial spectral feature. 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, which were performed behind every 3D convolutional layer and every 2D convolutional layer. Experiment results indicate that our proposed model learn more discriminative spatial spectral features using very few training data. SEHybridSN using only 0.05 and…

Sparse hyperspectral unmixing from large spectral libraries has been considered to circumvent limitations of endmember extraction algorithms in many applications. This strategy often leads to ill-posed inverse problems, which can benefit from spatial regularization strategies. While existing spatial regularization methods improve the problem conditioning and promote piecewise smooth solutions, they lead to large nonsmooth optimization problems. Thus, efficiently introducing spatial context in the unmixing problem remains a challenge, and a necessity for many real world applications. In this pa…

Hyperspectral images have far more spectral bands than ordinary multispectral images. Rich band information provides more favorable conditions for the tremendous applications. However, significant increase in the dimensionality of spectral bands may lead to the curse of dimensionality, especially for classification applications. Furthermore, there are a large amount of redundant information among the raw image cubes due to water absorptions, sensor noises and other influence factors. Band selection is a direct and effective method to remove redundant information and reduce the spectral dimensi…

This paper presents a sparse representation-based classification approach with a novel dictionary construction procedure. By using the constructed dictionary sophisticated prior knowledge about the spatial nature of the image can be integrated. The approach is based on the assumption that each image patch can be factorized into characteristic spatial patterns, also called shapelets, and patch-specific spectral information. A set of shapelets is learned in an unsupervised way and spectral information are embodied by training samples. A combination of shapelets and spectral information are repre…
Hyperspectral images contain mixed pixels due to low spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors. Spectral unmixing problem refers to decomposing mixed pixels into a set of endmembers and abundance fractions. Due to nonnegativity constraint on abundance fractions, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) methods have been widely used for solving spectral unmixing problem. In this letter we proposed using multilayer NMF (MLNMF) for the purpose of hyperspectral unmixing. In this approach, spectral signature matrix can be modeled as a product of sparse matrices. In fact MLNMF decomposes the observa…

This paper introduces two very fast and competitive hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration algorithms: fast hyperspectral denoising (FastHyDe), a denoising algorithm able to cope with Gaussian and Poissonian noise, and fast hyperspectral inpainting (FastHyIn), an inpainting algorithm to restore HSIs where some observations from known pixels in some known bands are missing. FastHyDe and FastHyIn fully exploit extremely compact and sparse HSI representations linked with their low-rank and self-similarity characteristics. In a series of experiments with simulated and real data, the newly introduce…

Hyperspectral Unmixing (HU) has received increasing attention in the past decades due to its ability of unveiling information latent in hyperspectral data. Unfortunately, most existing methods fail to take advantage of the spatial information in data. To overcome this limitation, we propose a Structured Sparse regularized Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (SS-NMF) method from the following two aspects. First, we incorporate a graph Laplacian to encode the manifold structures embedded in the hyperspectral data space. In this way, the highly similar neighboring pixels can be grouped together. Sec…
The estimation of land cover fractions from remote sensing images is a frequently used indicator of the environmental quality. This paper focuses on the quantification of land cover fractions in an urban area of Berlin, Germany, using simulated hyperspectral EnMAP data with a spatial resolution of 30m$\times$30m. We use constrained sparse representation, where each pixel with unknown surface characteristics is expressed by a weighted linear combination of elementary spectra with known land cover class. We automatically determine the elementary spectra from image reference data using archetypal…

In many computer vision applications, obtaining images of high resolution in both the spatial and spectral domains are equally important. However, due to hardware limitations, one can only expect to acquire images of high resolution in either the spatial or spectral domains. This paper focuses on hyperspectral image super-resolution (HSI-SR), where a hyperspectral image (HSI) with low spatial resolution (LR) but high spectral resolution is fused with a multispectral image (MSI) with high spatial resolution (HR) but low spectral resolution to obtain HR HSI. Existing deep learning-based solution…

Many algorithms have been developed to solve the inverse problem of coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI), i.e., recovering the 3D hyperspectral images (HSIs) from a 2D compressive measurement. In recent years, learning-based methods have demonstrated promising performance and dominated the mainstream research direction. However, existing CNN-based methods show limitations in capturing long-range dependencies and non-local self-similarity. Previous Transformer-based methods densely sample tokens, some of which are uninformative, and calculate the multi-head self-attention (MSA) betw…

Hyperspectral target detection has been widely studied in the field of remote sensing. However, background dictionary building issue and the correlation analysis of target and background dictionary issue have not been well studied. To tackle these issues, a \emph{Weighted Hierarchical Sparse Representation} for hyperspectral target detection is proposed. The main contributions of this work are listed as follows. 1) Considering the insufficient representation of the traditional background dictionary building by dual concentric window structure, a hierarchical background dictionary is built cons…
Hyperspectral images contain mixed pixels due to low spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors. Mixed pixels are pixels containing more than one distinct material called endmembers. The presence percentages of endmembers in mixed pixels are called abundance fractions. Spectral unmixing problem refers to decomposing these pixels into a set of endmembers and abundance fractions. Due to nonnegativity constraint on abundance fractions, nonnegative matrix factorization methods (NMF) have been widely used for solving spectral unmixing problem. In this paper we have used graph regularized NMF (GNMF…

In this work, a novel target detector for hyperspectral imagery is developed. The detector is independent on the unknown covariance matrix, behaves well in large dimensions, distributional free, invariant to atmospheric effects, and does not require a background dictionary to be constructed. Based on a modification of the robust principal component analysis (RPCA), a given hyperspectral image (HSI) is regarded as being made up of the sum of a low-rank background HSI and a sparse target HSI that contains the targets based on a pre-learned target dictionary specified by the user. The sparse comp…

Spectral unmixing (SU) of hyperspectral images (HSIs) is one of the important areas in remote sensing (RS) that needs to be carefully addressed in different RS applications. Despite the high spectral resolution of the hyperspectral data, the relatively low spatial resolution of the sensors may lead to mixture of different pure materials within the image pixels. In this case, the spectrum of a given pixel recorded by the sensor can be a combination of multiple spectra each belonging to a unique material in that pixel. Spectral unmixing is then used as a technique to extract the spectral charact…

An efficient spatial regularization method using superpixel segmentation and graph Laplacian regularization is proposed for sparse hyperspectral unmixing method. Since it is likely to find spectrally similar pixels in a homogeneous region, we use a superpixel segmentation algorithm to extract the homogeneous regions by considering the image boundaries. We first extract the homogeneous regions, which are called superpixels, then a weighted graph in each superpixel is constructed by selecting $K$-nearest pixels in each superpixel. Each node in the graph represents the spectrum of a pixel and edg…

Data acquired from multi-channel sensors is a highly valuable asset to interpret the environment for a variety of remote sensing applications. However, low spatial resolution is a critical limitation for previous sensors and the constituent materials of a scene can be mixed in different fractions due to their spatial interactions. Spectral unmixing is a technique that allows us to obtain the material spectral signatures and their fractions from hyperspectral data. In this paper, we propose a novel endmember extraction and hyperspectral unmixing scheme, so called \textit{EndNet}, that is based …

In this study, the problem of computing a sparse representation of multi-dimensional visual data is considered. In general, such data e.g., hyperspectral images, color images or video data consists of signals that exhibit strong local dependencies. A new computationally efficient sparse coding optimization problem is derived by employing regularization terms that are adapted to the properties of the signals of interest. Exploiting the merits of the learnable regularization techniques, a neural network is employed to act as structure prior and reveal the underlying signal dependencies. To solve…
Hyperspectral imaging offers new perspectives for diverse applications, ranging from the monitoring of the environment using airborne or satellite remote sensing, precision farming, food safety, planetary exploration, or astrophysics. Unfortunately, the spectral diversity of information comes at the expense of various sources of degradation, and the lack of accurate ground-truth "clean" hyperspectral signals acquired on the spot makes restoration tasks challenging. In particular, training deep neural networks for restoration is difficult, in contrast to traditional RGB imaging problems where d…
One of the challenges in hyperspectral data analysis is the presence of mixed pixels. Mixed pixels are the result of low spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors. Spectral unmixing methods decompose a mixed pixel into a set of endmembers and abundance fractions. Due to nonnegativity constraint on abundance fraction values, NMF based methods are well suited to this problem. In this paper multilayer NMF has been used to improve the results of NMF methods for spectral unmixing of hyperspectral data under the linear mixing framework. Sparseness constraint on both spectral signatures and abundan…
