Multiscale Alternately Updated Clique Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification

2021 
Recently, deep learning has drawn significant attention in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. With the growth of network depth and feature integration, deep learning demands abundant labeled samples to optimize many parameters. Unfortunately, most hyperspectral data are unlabeled and the available labeled samples are extremely limited. How to obtain richer features under limited training samples is a challenge for HSI classification. To tackle this issue, a new supervised multiscale alternately updated clique network (MSCN) is proposed for HSI classification to fully employ HSI features in different scales. Based on the Clique Block, we design the multiscale alternately updated clique block (MSCB) that applies convolution kernels of various sizes to adaptively exploit the multiscale HSI information and merge them within the block. Meanwhile, the recurrent feedback architecture is introduced to reuse high-level visual information and network parameters. The proposed MSCN includes two MSCBs to capture the multiscale spectral and spatial information in turn. The MSCN improves the information flow and the efficiency of parameter tuning through the feedback mechanism and the cross-utilization of multiscale feature. It not only obtains more abstract HSI information, but also reduces the network depth and the number of parameters, thereby improving the classification accuracy under limited samples. To certify the validity of the proposed MSCN, experiments are conducted on three real HSI datasets and compared with multiple state-of-the-art deep learning-based approaches. The experimental results demonstrate that the presented multiscale network achieves superior performance, especially in the case of a small number of training samples.
