Distance Transform-Based Spectral-Spatial Feature Vector for Hyperspectral Image Classification with Stacked Autoencoder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pixel-wise classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs) from remote sensing data is a common approach for extracting information about scenes. In recent years, approaches based on deep learning techniques have gained wide applicability. An HSI dataset can be viewed either as a collection of images, each one captured at a different wavelength, or as a collection of spectra, each one associated with a specific point (pixel). Enhanced classification accuracy is enabled if the spectral and spatial information are combined in the input vector. This allows simultaneous classification according to spectral type but also according to geometric relationships. In this study, we proposed a novel spatial feature vector which improves accuracies in pixel-wise classification. Our proposed feature vector is based on the distance transform of the pixels with respect to the dominant edges in the input HSI. In other words, we allow the location of pixels within geometric subdivisions of the dataset to modify the contribution of each pixel to the spatial feature vector. Moreover, we used the extended multi attribute profile (EMAP) features to add more geometric features to the proposed spatial feature vector. We have performed experiments with three hyperspectral datasets. In addition to the Salinas and University of Pavia datasets, which are commonly used in HSI research, we include samples from our Surrey BC dataset. Our proposed method results compares favorably to traditional algorithms as well as to some recently published deep learning-based algorithms.

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.
