Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used for hyperspectral image classification. As a common process, small cubes are firstly cropped from the hyperspectral image and then fed into CNNs to extract spectral and spatial features. It is well known that different spectral bands and spatial positions in the cubes have different discriminative abilities. If fully explored, this prior information will help improve the learning capacity of CNNs. Along this direction, we propose an attention aided CNN model for spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images. Specifically, a spectral attention sub-network and a spatial attention sub-network are proposed for spectral and spatial classification, respectively. Both of them are based on the traditional CNN model, and incorporate attention modules to aid networks focus on more discriminative channels or positions. In the final classification phase, the spectral classification result and the spatial classification result are combined together via an adaptively weighted summation method. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we conduct experiments on three standard hyperspectral datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed model can achieve superior performance compared to several state-of-the-art CNN-related models.
Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is widely found in the current literature. Approaches vary from using SVMs to 2D CNNs, 3D CNNs, 3D-2D CNNs. Besides 3D-2D CNNs and FuSENet, the other approaches do not consider both the spectral and spatial features together for HSI classification task, thereby resulting in poor performances. 3D CNNs are computationally heavy and are not widely used, while 2D CNNs do not consider multi-resolution processing of images, and only limits itself to the spatial features. Even though 3D-2D CNNs try to model the spectra…

Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved excellent performances in many computer vision tasks. Specifically, for hyperspectral images (HSIs) classification, CNNs often require very complex structure due to the high dimension of HSIs. The complex structure of CNNs results in prohibitive training efforts. Moreover, the common situation in HSIs classification task is the lack of labeled samples, which results in accuracy deterioration of CNNs. In this work, we develop an easy-to-implement capsule network to alleviate the aforementioned problems, i.e., 1D-convolution capsule ne…
Redundancy and noise exist in the bands of hyperspectral images (HSIs). Thus, it is a good property to be able to select suitable parts from hundreds of input bands for HSIs classification methods. In this letter, a band attention module (BAM) is proposed to implement the deep learning based HSIs classification with the capacity of band selection or weighting. The proposed BAM can be seen as a plug-and-play complementary component of the existing classification networks which fully considers the adverse effects caused by the redundancy of the bands when using convolutional neural networks (CNN…

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…

To read the final version please go to IEEE TGRS on IEEE Xplore. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been attracting increasing attention in hyperspectral (HS) image classification, owing to their ability to capture spatial-spectral feature representations. Nevertheless, their ability in modeling relations between samples remains limited. Beyond the limitations of grid sampling, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been recently proposed and successfully applied in irregular (or non-grid) data representation and analysis. In this paper, we thoroughly investigate CNNs and GCNs (qualit…
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) attained a good performance in hyperspectral sensing image (HSI) classification, but CNNs consider spectra as orderless vectors. Therefore, considering the spectra as sequences, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been applied in HSI classification, for RNNs is skilled at dealing with sequential data. However, for a long-sequence task, RNNs is difficult for training and not as effective as we expected. Besides, spatial contextual features are not considered in RNNs. In this study, we propose a Shorten Spatial-spectral RNN with Parallel-GRU (St-SS-pGRU) fo…

In this paper, we address the dataset scarcity issue with the hyperspectral image classification. As only a few thousands of pixels are available for training, it is difficult to effectively learn high-capacity Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). To cope with this problem, we propose a novel cross-domain CNN containing the shared parameters which can co-learn across multiple hyperspectral datasets. The network also contains the non-shared portions designed to handle the dataset specific spectral characteristics and the associated classification tasks. Our approach is the first attempt to lea…

Recently, many convolutional neural network (CNN) methods have been designed for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification since CNNs are able to produce good representations of data, which greatly benefits from a huge number of parameters. However, solving such a high-dimensional optimization problem often requires a large amount of training samples in order to avoid overfitting. Additionally, it is a typical non-convex problem affected by many local minima and flat regions. To address these problems, in this paper, we introduce naive Gabor Networks or Gabor-Nets which, for the first time in t…

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has been widely adopted in applications involving remote sensing imagery analysis which require high classification accuracy and real-time processing speed. Methods based on Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proven to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in classifying HSIs. However, CNN models are often too computationally intensive to achieve real-time response due to the high dimensional nature of HSI, compared to traditional methods such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Besides, previous CNN models used in HSI are not specially designed …

In this letter, we propose a multitask deep learning method for classification of multiple hyperspectral data in a single training. Deep learning models have achieved promising results on hyperspectral image classification, but their performance highly rely on sufficient labeled samples, which are scarce on hyperspectral images. However, samples from multiple data sets might be sufficient to train one deep learning model, thereby improving its performance. To do so, we trained an identical feature extractor for all data, and the extracted features were fed into corresponding Softmax classifier…

Hyperspectral (HS) images are characterized by approximately contiguous spectral information, enabling the fine identification of materials by capturing subtle spectral discrepancies. Owing to their excellent locally contextual modeling ability, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proven to be a powerful feature extractor in HS image classification. However, CNNs fail to mine and represent the sequence attributes of spectral signatures well due to the limitations of their inherent network backbone. To solve this issue, we rethink HS image classification from a sequential perspective…

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the most frequently used deep learning based methods for visual data processing. The use of CNN for HSI classification is also visible in recent works. These approaches are mostly based on 2D CNN. Whereas, the HSI classification performance is highly dependent on both spatial and spectral information. Very few methods have utilized the 3D CNN because of increased computational complexity. This le…

In this paper, we propose an efficient and effective framework to fuse hyperspectral and Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data using two coupled convolutional neural networks (CNNs). One CNN is designed to learn spectral-spatial features from hyperspectral data, and the other one is used to capture the elevation information from LiDAR data. Both of them consist of three convolutional layers, and the last two convolutional layers are coupled together via a parameter sharing strategy. In the fusion phase, feature-level and decision-level fusion methods are simultaneously used to integrate the…

In recent years, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown impressive ability to represent hyperspectral images (HSIs) and achieved encouraging results in HSI classification. However, the existing CNN-based models operate at the patch-level, in which pixel is separately classified into classes using a patch of images around it. This patch-level classification will lead to a large number of repeated calculations, and it is difficult to determine the appropriate patch size that is beneficial to classification accuracy. In addition, the conventional CNN models operate convolutions with…

A novel method, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs), is proposed to reconstruct hyperspectral cubes from computed tomography imaging spectrometer (CTIS) images. Current reconstruction algorithms are usually subject to long reconstruction times and mediocre precision in cases of a large number of spectral channels. The constructed CNNs deliver higher precision and shorter reconstruction time than a sparse expectation maximization algorithm. In addition, the network can handle two different types of real-world images at the same time -- specifically ColorChecker and carrot spectral im…

Spectral unmixing methods incorporating spatial regularizations have demonstrated increasing interest. Although spatial regularizers which promote smoothness of the abundance maps have been widely used, they may overly smooth these maps and, in particular, may not preserve edges present in the hyperspectral image. Existing unmixing methods usually ignore these edge structures or use edge information derived from the hyperspectral image itself. However, this information may be affected by large amounts of noise or variations in illumination, leading to erroneous spatial information incorporated…

We consider using the system's optical imaging process with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to solve the snapshot hyperspectral imaging reconstruction problem, which uses a dual-camera system to capture the three-dimensional hyperspectral images (HSIs) in a compressed way. Various methods using CNNs have been developed in recent years to reconstruct HSIs, but most of the supervised deep learning methods aimed to fit a brute-force mapping relationship between the captured compressed image and standard HSIs. Thus, the learned mapping would be invalid when the observation data deviate from t…

In recent times, CNNs have made significant contributions to applications in image generation, super-resolution and style transfer. In this paper, we build upon the work of Howard and Gugger, He et al. and Misra, D. and propose a CNN architecture that accurately reconstructs hyperspectral images from their RGB counterparts. We also propose a much shallower version of our best model with a 10% relative memory footprint and 3x faster inference, thus enabling real-time video applications while still experiencing only about a 0.5% decrease in performance.

The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system can provide a reference basis for the clinical diagnosis of skin diseases. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can not only extract visual elements such as colors and shapes but also semantic features. As such they have made great improvements in many tasks of dermoscopy images. The imaging of dermoscopy has no principal orientation, indicating that there are a large number of skin lesion rotations in the datasets. However, CNNs lack rotation invariance, which is bound to affect the robustness of CNNs against rotations. To tackle this issue, we propos…

Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a thrombus ("blood clot"), usually originating from a lower extremity vein, that travels to the blood vessels in the lung, causing vascular obstruction and in some patients, death. This disorder is commonly diagnosed using CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Deep learning holds great promise for the computer-aided CTPA diagnosis (CAD) of PE. However, numerous competing methods for a given task in the deep learning literature exist, causing great confusion regarding the development of a CAD PE system. To address this confusion, we present a comprehensive analysis…

Early detection of head and neck tumors is crucial for patient survival. Often, diagnoses are made based on endoscopic examination of the larynx followed by biopsy and histological analysis, leading to a high inter-observer variability due to subjective assessment. In this regard, early non-invasive diagnostics independent of the clinician would be a valuable tool. A recent study has shown that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) can be used for non-invasive detection of head and neck tumors, as precancerous or cancerous lesions show specific spectral signatures that distinguish them from healthy tiss…
Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have obtained promising results in single-image SR for hyperspectral pansharpening. However, enhancing CNNs' representation ability with fewer parameters and a shorter prediction time is a challenging and critical task. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-spectral image fusion method using a combination of the previously proposed 3D CNN model VolumeNet and 2.5D texture transfer method using other modality high resolution (HR) images. Since a multi-spectral (MS) image consists of several bands and each band is a 2D image slice, MS images can be …
Hyperspectral images are crucial for many research works. Spectral super-resolution (SSR) is a method used to obtain high spatial resolution (HR) hyperspectral images from HR multispectral images. Traditional SSR methods include model-driven algorithms and deep learning. By unfolding a variational method, this paper proposes an optimization-driven convolutional neural network (CNN) with a deep spatial-spectral prior, resulting in physically interpretable networks. Unlike the fully data-driven CNN, auxiliary spectral response function (SRF) is utilized to guide CNNs to group the bands with spec…

Automatic tumor segmentation is a crucial step in medical image analysis for computer-aided diagnosis. Although the existing methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved the state-of-the-art performance, many challenges still remain in medical tumor segmentation. This is because regular CNNs can only exploit translation invariance, ignoring further inherent symmetries existing in medical images such as rotations and reflections. To mitigate this shortcoming, we propose a novel group equivariant segmentation framework by encoding those inherent symmetries for learning mor…
Endoscopic images typically contain several artifacts. The artifacts significantly impact image analysis result in computer-aided diagnosis. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning, can removes such artifacts. Various architectures have been proposed for the CNNs, and the accuracy of artifact removal varies depending on the choice of architecture. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the artifact removal accuracy, depending on the selected architecture. In this study, we focus on endoscopic surgical instruments as artifacts, and determine and discuss the artifact remov…

This work proposes the use of localized perturbations as a weakly-supervised solution to extract segmentation masks of brain tumours from a pretrained 3D classification model. Furthermore, we propose a novel optimal perturbation method that exploits 3D superpixels to…

In the U.S, 5-10\% of new pediatric cases of cancer are primary bone tumors. The most common type of primary malignant bone tumor is osteosarcoma. The intention of the present work is to improve the detection and diagnosis of osteosarcoma using computer-aided detection (CAD) and diagnosis (CADx). Such tools as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can significantly decrease the surgeon's workload and make a better prognosis of patient conditions. CNNs need to be trained on a large amount of data in order to achieve a more trustworthy performance. In this study, transfer learning techniques, pre…
