Hyperspectral image classification based on convolutional neural network

Abstract

Hyperspectral remote sensing is the acquisition of spatial and spectral data of objects by detecting the electromagnetic waves reflected from them using a hyperspectral sensor. It enables the evaluation and identification of material composition, morphology, structure, and other aspects. Currently, hyperspectral imaging is widely applied in fields such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, forestry, medicine, and geology. However, traditional hyperspectral image classification encounters the problem of high complexity and overfitting when dealing with small sample sizes, requiring the use of advanced convolutional neural network models to address this issue. This paper primarily employs literature analysis, review, and comparative analysis methods to summarize the main challenges encountered when using convolutional neural networks for hyperspectral image classification. It also selects popular models in recent years to introduce, namely 3D-CNN model, hyperspectral pyramidal ResNet model and HybridSN model. This article focuses on whether these three models can solve problems that traditional classification models cannot solve, and what room for improvement there is, which will provide a reference for future research.
