In Mars exploration, hyper-spectrometry plays an important role due to its high spectral resolution. However, due to the technical difficulty and the data size, the spatial resolution or the coverage of hyperspectral data is often limited. This limitation can be alleviated by deep learning-based super-resolution (SR) reconstruction. But the spatial size and batch size of the input training data is limited due to the large number of spectral channels. To improve the efficiency of model training and SR reconstruction, a dataset based on CRISM hyperspectral data is created in this paper, and its redundancy is analyzed in both spectral and spatial spital dimensions. Compression algorithms based on data selection and PCA are used to reduce the size of the input training data. A network that can perform spatial SR and spectral enhancement is also proposed to make the network can be trained with the compressed data. With these compression algorithms and network, high-resolution data with 235 bands can be reconstructed from the low-resolution data with only 40 bands. Compared with the network trained on the original low-resolution data with 235 bands, the model training time and the SR reconstruction runtime can be reduced to 30% and 23% with practically no accuracy loss. The effectiveness of compression algorithms based on data selection also indicates that maybe not all the bands need to be transmitted from the Mars probes or be collected. Furthermore, it would, in principle, help improve the efficiency of satellite data transmission and simplify the design of the hyper-spectrometer. Additionally, a method for spatial dimension correlation evaluation is also proposed in this paper. The spatial compression shows that the proposed method can reflect the correlation of spatial texture between patches, and the model can be acceptably trained with only half of the original data.

With success of Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) in computer vision, DBN has attracted great attention in hyperspectral classification. Many deep learning based algorithms have been focused on deep feature extraction for classification improvement. Multi-features, such as texture feature, are widely utilized in classification process to enhance classification accuracy greatly. In this paper, a novel hyperspectral classification framework based on an optimal DBN and a novel texture feature enhancement (TFE) is proposed. Through band grouping, sample band selection and guided filtering, the texture features of hyperspectral data are improved. After TFE, the optimal DBN is employed on the hyperspectral reconstructed data for feature extraction and classification. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed classification framework outperforms some state-of-the-art classification algorithms, and it can achieve outstanding hyperspectral classification performance. Furthermore, our proposed TFE method can play a significant role in improving classification accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hyperspectral image (HSI) change detection plays an important role in remote sensing applications, and considerable research has been done focused on improving change detection performance. However, the high dimension of hyperspectral data makes it hard to extract discriminative features for hyperspectral processing tasks. Though deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have superior capability in high-level semantic feature learning, it is difficult to employ CNN for change detection tasks. As a ground truth map is usually used for the evaluation of change detection algorithms, it cannot be directly used for supervised learning. In order to better extract discriminative CNN features, a novel noise modeling-based unsupervised fully convolutional network (FCN) framework is presented for HSI change detection in this paper. Specifically, the proposed method utilizes the change detection maps of existing unsupervised change detection methods to train the deep CNN, and then removes the noise during the end-to-end training process. The main contributions of this paper are threefold: (1) A new end-to-end FCN-based deep network architecture for HSI change detection is presented with powerful learning features; (2) An unsupervised noise modeling method is introduced for the robust training of the proposed deep network; (3) Experimental results on three datasets confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
