A Deep Double-Channel Dense Network for Hyperspectral Image Classifica-tion

Hyperspectral Image(HSI)classification based on deep learning has been an attractive area in recent years.However,as a kind of data-driven algorithm,the deep learning method usually requires numerous computational resources and high-quality labelled datasets,while the expenditures of high-performance computing and data annotation are expensive.In this paper,to reduce the dependence on massive calculation and labelled samples,we propose a deep Double-Channel dense network(DDCD)for Hyperspectral Image Classification.Specifically,we design a 3D Double-Channel dense layer to capture the local and global features of the input.And we propose a Linear Attention Mechanism that is approximate to dot-product attention with much less memory and computational costs.The number of parameters and the consumptions of calculation are observably less than contrapositive deep learning methods,which means DDCD owns simpler architecture and higher efficiency.A series of quantitative experiences on 6 widely used hyperspectral datasets show that the proposed DDCD obtains state-of-the-art performance,even though when the absence of labelled samples is severe.

Land cover classification from remote sensing images based on multi-scale fully convolutional network

Although the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)has shown great potential for land cover classification,the frequently used single-scale convolution kernel limits the scope of informa-tion extraction.Therefore,we propose a Multi-Scale Fully Convolutional Network(MSFCN)with a multi-scale convolutional kernel as well as a Channel Attention Block(CAB)and a Global Pooling Module(GPM)in this paper to exploit discriminative representations from two-dimensional(2D)satellite images.Meanwhile,to explore the ability of the proposed MSFCN for spatio-temporal images,we expand our MSFCN to three-dimension using three-dimensional(3D)CNN,capable of harnessing each land cover category’s time series interac-tion from the reshaped spatio-temporal remote sensing images.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN,we conduct experiments on two spatial datasets and two spatio-temporal datasets.The proposed MSFCN achieves 60.366%on the WHDLD dataset and 75.127%on the GID dataset in terms of mIoU index while the figures for two spatio-temporal datasets are 87.753%and 77.156%.Extensive comparative experiments and abla-tion studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MSFCN.
