Anomaly detection of a hyperspectral image without any prior information has attracted much more attention in remote sensing image understanding and interpretation, which aims at determining whether a sample belongs to background or anomaly. Low-rank dictionary learning plays an important role in exploiting the low-rank prior of background for hyperspectral image (HSI) anomaly detection. In this article, the low-rank dictionary learning is introduced to learn a dictionary which can reconstruct the background positively, while anomaly cannot. Considering the high correlation of data especially between the adjacent bands, we resort to spectral-difference low-rank dictionary representation learning for global background modeling which can fully exploit the low-rank prior of background. Then, the residual matrix is used to distinguish anomaly. Different from the existing anomaly detection methods based on dictionary which is constructed or learned in a separated step, our proposed model can simultaneously learn the dictionary and separate anomaly by iterative learning. The experimental results on five real data sets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method for hyperspectral anomaly detection compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification plays an important role in remote sensing image processing. In recent years, stacked auto-encoder (SAE) has obtained a series of excellent results in PolSAR image classification. The recently proposed projective dictionary pair learning (DPL) model takes both accuracy and time consumption into consideration, and another recently proposed semicoupled dictionary learning (SCDL) model gives a new way to fit different features. Based on the SAE, DPL, and SCDL models, we propose a novel semicoupled projective DPL method with SAE (SAE-SDPL) for PolSAR image classification. Our method can get the classification result efficiently and correctly and meanwhile giving a new method to fit different features. In this paper, three PolSAR images are used to test the performance of SAE-SDPL. Compared with some state-of-the-art methods, our method obtains excellent results in PolSAR image classification.

In this paper, we propose a new anomaly detection method for hyperspectral images based on two well-designed dictionaries: background dictionary and potential anomaly dictionary. In order to effectively detect an anomaly and eliminate the influence of noise, the original image is decomposed into three components: background, anomalies, and noise. In this way, the anomaly detection task is regarded as a problem of matrix decomposition. Considering the homogeneity of background and the sparsity of anomalies, the low-rank and sparse constraints are imposed in our model. Then, the background and potential anomaly dictionaries are constructed using the background and anomaly priors. For the background dictionary, a joint sparse representation (JSR)-based dictionary selection strategy is proposed, assuming that the frequently used atoms in the overcomplete dictionary tend to be the background. In order to make full use of the prior information of anomalies hidden in the scene, the potential anomaly dictionary is constructed. We define a criterion, i.e., the anomalous level of a pixel, by using the residual calculated in the JSR model within its local region. Then, it is combined with a weighted term to alleviate the influence of noise and background. Experiments show that our proposed anomaly detection method based on potential anomaly and background dictionaries construction can achieve superior results compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
