EBARec-BS: Effective Band Attention Reconstruction Network for Hyperspectral Imagery Band Selection

Abstract

Hyperspectral band selection (BS) is an effective means to avoid the Hughes phenomenon and heavy computational burden in hyperspectral image processing. However, most of the existing BS methods fail to fully consider the interaction between spectral bands and cannot comprehensively consider the representativeness and redundancy of the selected band subset. To solve these problems, we propose an unsupervised effective band attention reconstruction framework for band selection (EBARec-BS) in this article. The framework utilizes the EBARec network to learn the representativeness of each band to the original band set and measures the redundancy between the bands by calculating the distance of each unselected band to the selected band subset. Subsequently, by designing an adaptive weight to balance the influence of the representativeness metric and redundancy metric on the band evaluation, a final band scoring function is obtained to select a band subset that well represents the original hyperspectral image and has low redundancy. Experiments on three well-known hyperspectral data sets indicate that compared with the existing BS methods, the proposed EBARec-BS is robust to noise bands and can effectively select the band subset with higher classification accuracy and less redundant information.

Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection via Dual Dictionaries Construction Guided by Two-Stage Complementary Decision

“…Hyperspectral images (HSIs), which have the characteristics of a wide spectral range and high spectral resolution, are widely utilized to discriminate physical properties of different materials [1]. Benefitting from the rich spectral information, HSIs are active in the field of image classification [2,3], hyperspectral unmixing [4,5], band selection [6,7], anomaly detection [8,9] and target detection [10,11]. Among these applications, hyperspectral anomaly detection (HAD), aiming to excavate the pixels with significant spectral difference relative to surrounding pixels [12], attracts particular interest.…”
