Submissions should adhere to high scientific standards, demonstrate the significance of their contributions, and offer clear experimental validation. We welcome submissions that address both theoretical advancements and real-world applications.

This Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of topics related to deep learning for spectral-spatial hyperspectral image classification, including but not limited to:

  • Development and optimization of deep neural network architectures tailored for hyperspectral data.
  • Spectral and spatial information fusion in deep learning models.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification aims to recognize categories of objects based on spectral–spatial features and has been used in a wide range of real-world application areas. Attention mechanisms are widely used in HSI classification for their ability to focus on important information in images automatically. However, due to the approximate spectral–spatial features in HSI, mainstream attention mechanisms are difficult to accurately distinguish the small difference, which limits the classification accuracy. To overcome this problem, a spectral–spatial-sensorial attention network (S3AN) with controllable factors is proposed to efficiently recognize different objects. Specifically, two controllable factors, dynamic exponential pooling (DE-Pooling) and adaptive convolution (Adapt-Conv), are designed to enlarge the difference in approximate features and enhance the attention weight interaction. Then, attention mechanisms with controllable factors are utilized to build the redundancy reduction module (RRM), feature learning module (FLM), and label prediction module (LPM) to process HSI spectral–spatial features. The RRM utilizes the spectral attention mechanism to select representative band combinations, and the FLM introduces the spatial attention mechanism to highlight important objects. Furthermore, the sensorial attention mechanism extracts location and category information in a pseudo label to guide the LPM for label prediction and avoid details from being ignored. Experimental results on three public HSI datasets show that the proposed method is able to accurately recognize different objects with an overall accuracy (OA) of 98.69%, 98.89%, and 97.56%, respectively.

Land-cover mapping plays a crucial role in resource detection, ecological environmental protection, and sustainable development planning. The existing large-scale land-cover products with coarse spatial resolution have a wide range of categories, but they suffer from low mapping accuracy. Conversely, land-cover products with fine spatial resolution tend to lack diversity in the types of land cover they encompass. Currently, there is a lack of large-scale land-cover products simultaneously possessing fine-grained classifications and high accuracy. Therefore, we propose a mapping framework for fine-grained land-cover classification. Firstly, we propose an iterative method for developing fine-grained classification systems, establishing a classification system suitable for Sentinel-2 data based on the target area. This system comprises 23 fine-grained land-cover types and achieves the most stable mapping results. Secondly, to address the challenges in large-scale scenes, such as varying scales of target features, imbalanced sample quantities, and the weak connectivity of slender features, we propose an improved network based on Swin-UNet. This network incorporates a pyramid pooling module and a weighted combination loss function based on class balance. Additionally, we independently trained models for roads and water. Guided by the natural spatial relationships, we used a voting algorithm to integrate predictions from these independent models with the full classification model. Based on this framework, we created the 2017 Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei regional fine-grained land-cover product JJJLC-10. Through validation using 4254 sample datasets, the results indicate that JJJLC-10 achieves an overall accuracy of 80.3% in the I-level validation system (covering seven land-cover types) and 72.2% in the II-level validation system (covering 23 land-cover types), with kappa coefficients of 0.7602 and 0.706, respectively. In comparison with widely used land-cover products, JJJLC-10 excels in accurately depicting the spatial distribution of various land-cover types and exhibits significant advantages in terms of classification quantity and accuracy.

Hyperspectral remote sensing images, with their amalgamation of spectral richness and geometric precision, encapsulate intricate, non-linear information that poses significant challenges to traditional machine learning methodologies. Deep learning techniques, recognised for their superior representation learning capabilities, exhibit enhanced proficiency in managing such intricate data. In this study, we introduce a novel approach in hyperspectral image analysis focusing on multi-label, patch-level classification, as opposed to applications in the literature concentrating predominantly on single-label, pixel-level classification for hyperspectral remote sensing images. The proposed model comprises a two-component deep learning network and employs patches of hyperspectral remote sensing scenes with reduced spatial dimensions yet with a complete spectral depth derived from the original scene. Additionally, this work explores three distinct training schemes for our network: Iterative, Joint, and Cascade. Empirical evidence suggests the Joint approach as the optimal strategy, but it requires an extensive search to ascertain the optimal weight combination of the loss constituents. The Iterative scheme facilitates feature sharing between the network components from the early phases of training and demonstrates superior performance with complex, multi-labelled data. Subsequent analysis reveals that models with varying architectures, when trained on patches derived and annotated per our proposed single-label sampling procedure, exhibit commendable performance.
