Hyperspectral target detection is a pixel-level recognition problem. Given a few target samples, it aims to identify the specific target pixels such as airplane, vehicle, ship, from the entire hyperspectral image. In general, the background pixels take the majority of the image and complexly distributed. As a result, the datasets are weak annotated and extremely imbalanced. To address these problems, a spectral mixing based self-supervised paradigm is designed for hyperspectral data to obtain an effective feature representation. The model adopts a spectral similarity based matching network framework. In order to learn more discriminative features, a pair-based loss is adopted to minimize the distance between target pixels while maximizing the distances between target and background. Furthermore, through a background separated step, the complex unlabeled spectra are downsampled into different sub-categories. The experimental results on three real hyperspectral datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves better results compared with the existing detectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
