Hyperspectral Image Classification

Relying on large scale labeled datasets, deep learning has achieved good performance in image classification tasks. In agricultural and biological engineering, image annotation is time-consuming and expensive. It also requires annotators to have technical skills in specific areas. Obtaining the ground truth is difficult because natural images are expensive. In addition, images in these areas are usually stored as multichannel images, such as computed tomography (CT) images, magnetic resonance images (MRI), and hyperspectral images (HSI). In this paper, we present a framework using active learning and deep learning for multichannel image classification. We use three active learning algorithms, including least confidence, margin sampling, and entropy, as the selection criteria. Based on this framework, we further introduce an “image pool” to make full advantage of images generated by data augmentation. To prove the availability of the proposed framework, we present a case study on agricultural hyperspectral image classification. The results show that the proposed framework achieves better performance compared with the deep learning model. Manual annotation of all the training sets achieves an encouraging accuracy. In comparison, using active learning algorithm of entropy and image pool achieves a similar accuracy with only part of the whole training set manually annotated. In practical application, the proposed framework can remarkably reduce labeling effort during the model development and upadting processes, and can be applied to multichannel image classification in agricultural and biological engineering.

Currently, deep learning has shown state-of-the-art performance in image classification with pre-defined taxonomy. However, in a more real-world scenario, different users usually have different classification intents given an image collection. To satisfactorily personalize the requirement, we propose an interactive image classification system with an offline representation learning stage and an online classification stage. During the offline stage, we learn a deep model to extract the feature with higher flexibility and scalability for different users’ preferences. Instead of training the model only with the inter-class discrimination, we also encode the similarity between the semantic-embedding vectors of the category labels into the model. This makes the extracted feature adapt to multiple taxonomies with different granularities. During the online session, an annotation task iteratively alternates with a high-throughput verification task. When performing the verification task, the users are only required to indicate the incorrect prediction without giving the exact category label. For each iteration, our system chooses the images to be annotated or verified based on interactive efficiency optimization. To provide a high interactive rate, a unified active learning algorithm is used to search the optimal annotation and verification set by minimizing the expected time cost. After interactive annotation and verification, the new classified images are used to train a customized classifier online, which reflects the user-adaptive intent of categorization. The learned classifier is then used for subsequent annotation and verification tasks. Experimental results under several public image datasets show that our method outperforms existing methods.

Hyperspectral Image Classification

Applying limited labeled samples to improve classification results is a challenge in hyperspectral images. Active Learning (AL) and Semisupervised Learning (SSL) are two promising techniques to achieve this challenge. Combining AL with SSL is an excellent idea for hyperspectral image classification. The traditional method, such as the Collaborative Active and Semisupervised Learning algorithm (CASSL), may introduce many incorrect pseudolabels and shows premature convergence. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel framework named Double-Strategy-Check Collaborative Active and Semisupervised Learning (DSC-CASSL) is proposed in this paper. This framework combines two different AL algorithms and SSL in a collaborative mode. The double-strategy verification can gradually improve the pseudolabeling accuracy and facilitate SSL. We evaluate the performance of DSC-CASSL on four hyperspectral data sets and compare it with that of four hyperspectral image classification methods. Our results suggest that DSC-CASSL leads to consistent improvement for hyperspectral image classification.
