【 摘 要 】

In recent years, deep learning has dramatically improved the cognitive ability of the network by extracting depth features, and has been successfully applied in the field of feature extraction and classification of hyperspectral images. However, it is facing great difficulties for target detection due to extremely limited available labeled samples that are insufficient to train deep networks. In this paper, a novel target detection framework for deep learning is proposed, denoted as HTD-Net. To overcome the few-training-sample issue, the proposed framework utilizes an improved autoencoder (AE) to generate target signatures, and then finds background samples which differ significantly from target samples based on a linear prediction (LP) strategy. Then, the obtained target and background samples are used to enlarge the training set by generating pixel-pairs, which is viewed as the input of a pre-designed network architecture to learn discriminative similarity. During testing, pixel-pairs of a pixel to be labeled are constructed with both available target samples and background samples. Spectral difference between these pixel-pairs is classified by the well-trained network with results of similarity measurement. The outputs from a two-branch averaged similarity scores are combined to generate the final detection. Experimental results with several real hyperspectral data demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to some traditional target detectors.
