Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the Special Issue “Deep Learning for the Analysis of Multi-/Hyperspectral Images”, a new Special Issue is being organized.

Unlike human eyes, which can only be exposed to visible light, multi-/hyperspectral imaging is an imaging technique used for the collection and processing of information across a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Multi-/hyperspectral images have strong spectral diagnostic potential to distinguish materials that, to humans, look similar. Over the past few years, deep learning has been powering many aspects of remote sensing image processing applications ranging from low-level restoration to high-level analysis, and remarkable breakthroughs have been achieved using deep-learning-based approaches.

This Special Issue will publish manuscripts that present new deep learning models or introduce the most advanced deep networks for processing and analyzing multi-/hyperspectral images. As this is a broad area, there are no constraints regarding the field of application. Articles for this Special Issue on deep learning for the analysis of multi-/hyperspectral images may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Spatial/spectral super-resolution;
  • Image fusion/pansharpening;
  • Image denoising/destriping;
  • Image registration/matching;
  • Compressive sensing;
  • Computational imaging;
  • Image/sense classification;
  • Object detection;
  • Clustering;
  • Segmentation

Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) has garnered increasing attention among researchers. While classical networks like convolution neural networks (CNNs) have achieved satisfactory results with the advent of deep learning, they are confined to processing local information. Vision transformers, despite being effective at establishing long-distance dependencies, face challenges in extracting high-representation features for high-dimensional images. In this paper, we present the multiscale efficient attention with enhanced feature transformer (MEA-EFFormer), which is designed for the efficient extraction of spectral–spatial features, leading to effective classification. MEA-EFFormer employs a multiscale efficient attention feature extraction module to initially extract 3D convolution features and applies effective channel attention to refine spectral information. Following this, 2D convolution features are extracted and integrated with local binary pattern (LBP) spatial information to augment their representation. Then, the processed features are fed into a spectral–spatial enhancement attention (SSEA) module that facilitates interactive enhancement of spectral–spatial information across the three dimensions. Finally, these features undergo classification through a transformer encoder. We evaluate MEA-EFFormer against several state-of-the-art methods on three datasets and demonstrate its outstanding HSIC performance. Full article

As the number and variety of remote sensing satellites continue to grow, user demands are becoming increasingly complex and diverse. Concurrently, there is an escalating requirement for timeliness in satellite observations, thereby augmenting the complexity of task processing and resource allocation. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes an innovative method for dynamic task planning in multi-source remote sensing satellite cooperative observations tailored to complex scenarios. In the task processing phase, this study develops a preprocessing model suitable for various types of targets, enabling the decomposition of complex scenes into multiple point targets for independent satellite observation, thereby reducing the complexity of the problem. In the resource allocation phase, a dynamic task planning algorithm for multi-satellite cooperative observation is designed to achieve dynamic and optimized scheduling of the processed point targets, catering to the needs of multi-source remote sensing satellites. Empirical validation demonstrated that this method effectively implements dynamic adjustment plans for point targets, comprehensively optimizing the number of observation targets, computation time, task priority, and satellite resource utilization, significantly enhancing the dynamic observation efficiency of remote sensing satellites.

In the past decade, deep learning methods have proven to be highly effective in the classification of hyperspectral images (HSI), consistently outperforming traditional approaches. However, the large number of spectral bands in HSI data can lead to interference during the learning process. To address this issue, dimensionality reduction techniques can be employed to minimize data redundancy and improve HSI classification performance. Hence, we have developed an efficient lightweight learning framework consisting of two main components. Firstly, we utilized band selection and principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality of HSI data, thereby reducing redundancy while retaining essential features. Subsequently, the pre-processed data was input into a modified VGG-based learning network for HSI classification. This method incorporates an improved dynamic activation function for the multi-layer perceptron to enhance non-linearity, and reduces the number of nodes in the fully connected layers of the original VGG architecture to improve speed while maintaining accuracy. This modified network structure, referred to as lightweight-VGG (LVGG), was specifically designed for HSI classification. Comprehensive experiments conducted on three publicly available HSI datasets consistently demonstrated that the LVGG method exhibited similar or better performance compared to other typical methods in the field of HSI classification. Our approach not only addresses the challenge of interference in deep learning methods for HSI classification, but also offers a lightweight and efficient solution for achieving high classification accuracy.
