Learning One-Class Hyperspectral Classifier from Positive and Unlabeled Data for Low Proportion Target
share
Hyperspectral imagery (HSI) one-class classification is aimed at identifying a single target class from the HSI by using only positive labels, which can significantly reduce the requirements for annotation. However, HSI one-class classification is far more challenging than HSI multi-class classification, due the lack of negative labels and the low target proportion, which are issues that have rarely been considered in the previous HSI classification studies. In this paper, a weakly supervised HSI one-class classifier, namely HOneCls is proposed to solve the problem of under-fitting of the positive class occurs in the HSI data with low target proportion, where a risk estimator – the One-Class Risk Estimator – is particularly introduced to make the full convolutional neural network (FCN) with the ability of one class classification. The experimental results obtained on challenging hyperspectral classification datasets, which includes 20 kinds of ground objects with very similar spectra, demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed One-Class Risk Estimator. Compared with the state-of-the-art one-class classifiers, the F1-score is improved significantly in the HSI data with low target proportion.
