3-D Hybrid CNN Combined With 3-D Generative Adversarial Network for Wetland Classification With Limited Training Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently, deep learning algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have played an important role in remote sensing image classification, including wetland mapping. However, one limitation of deep CNN for classification is its requirement for a great number of training samples. This limitation is particularly enhanced when the classes of interest are spectrally similar, such as that of wetland types, and the training samples are limited. This article presents a novel approach named 3-D hybrid generative adversarial network (3-D hybrid GAN) that addresses the limited training sample issue in the classification of remote sensing imagery with a focus on complex wetland classification. We used a conditional map unit that generates synthetic training samples for only classes with a lower number of training samples to improve the per-class accuracy of wetlands. This procedure overcomes the issue of imbalanced data in conventional wetland mapping. Based on the achieved results, better classification accuracy is obtained by integrating a 3-D generative adversarial network (3-D GAN) and the CNN network of a 3-D hybrid CNN using both 3-D and 2-D convolutional filters. Experimental results on the avalon pilot site located in eastern Newfoundland, Canada, and covering five wetland types of bog, fen, marsh, swamp, and shallow water demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms other CNN models, including the HybridSN, SpectralNet, MLP-mixer, as well as a conventional algorithm of random forest for complex wetland classification by approximately 1% to 51% in terms of F-1 score.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
