Superpixel-Based Multiple Local CNN for Panchromatic and Multispectral Image Classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently, very high resolution (VHR) panchromatic and multispectral (MS) remote-sensing images can be acquired easily. However, it is still a challenging task to fuse and classify these VHR images. Generally, there are two ways for the fusion and classification of panchromatic and MS images. One way is to use a panchromatic image to sharpen an MS image, and then classify a pan-sharpened MS image. Another way is to extract features from panchromatic and MS images, respectively, and then combine these features for classification. In this paper, we propose a superpixel-based multiple local convolution neural network (SML-CNN) model for panchromatic and MS images classification. In order to reduce the amount of input data for the CNN, we extend simple linear iterative clustering algorithm for segmenting MS images and generating superpixels. Superpixels are taken as the basic analysis unit instead of pixels. To make full advantage of the spatial-spectral and environment information of superpixels, a superpixel-based multiple local regions joint representation method is proposed. Then, an SML-CNN model is established to extract an efficient joint feature representation. A softmax layer is used to classify these features learned by multiple local CNN into different categories. Finally, in order to eliminate the adverse effects on the classification results within and between superpixels, we propose a multi-information modification strategy that combines the detailed information and semantic information to improve the classification performance. Experiments on the classification of Vancouver and Xi’an panchromatic and MS image data sets have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
