BACKGROUND: The common vole (Microtus arvalis) is a very destructive agricultural pest. Particularly in Europe, its monitoring is essential not only for adequate management and outbreak forecasting, but also for accurately determining the vole's impact on affected fields. In this study, several alternatives for estimating the damage to alfalfa fields by voles through unmanned vehicle systems (UASs) and multispectral cameras are presented. Currently, both the farmers and agencies involved in the integrated pest management (IPM) programs of voles do not have sufficiently precise methods for accurate assessments of the real impact to crops. RESULTS: Overall, the four multispectral classification methods presented showed similar performances. However, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)‐based segmentation exhibited the most accurate and reliable appraisal of the affected areas. Nevertheless, it must be noted that the simplest method, which was based on an automatic classification, provided results similar to those obtained by more complex methods. In addition, a significant direct relationship was found between the number of active burrows and damage to the alfalfa canopy. CONCLUSION: Unmanned vehicle systems, combined with multispectral imagery classification, are an effective and easily transferable methodology for the assessment and monitoring of common vole damage to agricultural plots. This combination of methods facilitates decision‐making processes for IPM control strategies against this pest. © 2022 The Authors.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a competitive remote sensing technique in several fields, from Earth observation to health, robotic vision, and quality control. Each HSI scene contains hundreds of (narrow) contiguous spectral bands. The amount of data generated by HSI devices is often both a solution and a problem for a given application. Extracting information from HSI data cubes is a complex and computationally demanding problem. To tackle this challenge, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely applied to HSI classification. Despite their success, CNNs are computationally demanding algorithms with high memory requirements due to their large number of internal parameters. The recent interest in using HSI devices in mobile and embedded systems for air and spaceborne platforms turned the attention to computationally lightweight CNN architectures with good classification accuracy. In this article, we present a contribution in that direction. The proposed method combines the ghost-module architecture with a CNN-based HSI classifier to reduce the computational cost and, simultaneously, achieves an efficient classification method with high performance. Our new method is evaluated against nine standard HSI classifiers, and five improved deep-CNN architectures, over five commonly used HSI data sets for algorithm benchmarking. Conducted experiments show that the proposed method exhibits similar or better performance than the other classifiers, achieving top values in the considered performance metrics—even for very limited training sets—and, most importantly, with a fraction of the computational cost. Our novel approach for HSI classification is a strong candidate for implementation on systems with limited computational resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CONVOLUTIONAL neural networks ,CLASSIFICATION ,COMPUTATIONAL complexity - Abstract
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven to be a powerful tool for the classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs). The CNN kernels are able to naturally include spatial information to smooth out the spectral variability and the noise present in HSI data. However, these kernels are composed of a large number of learning parameters that must be correctly adjusted to achieve good performance. This forces the model to consume a large amount of training data, being prone to overfitting when limited labeled samples are available. In addition, the execution of kernels is computationally very expensive, increasing quadratically with respect to the size of the convolution filter. This significantly reduces the performance of the model. To overcome the aforementioned limitations, this work presents a new few-parameter CNN (based on shift operations) for HSI classification that dramatically reduces both the number of parameters and the computational complexity of the model in terms of floating-point operations (FLOPs). The operational module combines a shift kernel (which adjusts the input data in particular directions without involving any parameters nor FLOPs) with pointwise convolutions that perform the feature extraction stage. The newly developed shift-based CNN has been employed to conduct HSI classification over five widely used and challenging data sets, achieving very promising results in terms of computational performance and classification accuracy.

RECURRENT neural networks ,SURFACE of the earth ,CLASSIFICATION ,MODELS & modelmaking - Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) collects hundreds of images over large spatial observation areas on the Earth's surface, recording scenes at different wavelength channels and providing a vast amount of information. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been widely used for the classification of HSI datasets, understood as a single sequence of pixel vectors with high dimensionality. However, the RNN model scales poorly when dealing with HSI scenes with large dimensionality. In order to mitigate this problem, this paper presents a new RNN classifier based on simple recurrent units that performs HSI classification in a highly scalable and efficient way. Our experimental results (conducted on four real HSI datasets) reveal very good performance, not only in terms of classification accuracy (in line with existing methods), but also in terms of computational performance when dealing with large datasets.

ARTIFICIAL neural networks ,CLASSIFICATION ,SYSTEM identification - Abstract
Deep neural networks (DNNs), including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and residual networks (ResNets) models, are able to learn abstract representations from the input data by considering a deep hierarchy of layers that perform advanced feature extraction. The combination of these models with visual attention techniques can assist with the identification of the most representative parts of the data from a visual standpoint, obtained through more detailed filtering of the features extracted by the operational layers of the network. This is of significant interest for analyzing remotely sensed hyperspectral images (HSIs), characterized by their very high spectral dimensionality. However, few efforts have been conducted in the literature in order to adapt visual attention methods to remotely sensed HSI data analysis. In this paper, we introduce a new visual attention-driven technique for the HSI classification. Specifically, we incorporate attention mechanisms to a ResNet in order to better characterize the spectral–spatial information contained in the data. Our newly proposed method calculates a mask that is applied to the features obtained by the network in order to identify the most desirable ones for classification purposes. Our experiments, conducted using four widely used HSI data sets, reveal that the proposed deep attention model provides competitive advantages in terms of classification accuracy when compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

REMOTE sensing ,ARTIFICIAL neural networks ,CLASSIFICATION ,GENE regulatory networks - Abstract
This paper proposes a novel end-to-end learning model, called skip-connected covariance (SCCov) network, for remote sensing scene classification (RSSC). The innovative contribution of this paper is to embed two novel modules into the traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) model, i.e., skip connections and covariance pooling. The advantages of newly developed SCCov are twofold. First, by means of the skip connections, the multi-resolution feature maps produced by the CNN are combined together, which provides important benefits to address the presence of large-scale variance in RSSC data sets. Second, by using covariance pooling, we can fully exploit the second-order information contained in such multi-resolution feature maps. This allows the CNN to achieve more representative feature learning when dealing with RSSC problems. Experimental results, conducted using three large-scale benchmark data sets, demonstrate that our newly proposed SCCov network exhibits very competitive or superior classification performance when compared with the current state-of-the-art RSSC techniques, using a much lower amount of parameters. Specifically, our SCCov only needs 10% of the parameters used by its counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes sequences of extended morphological transformations for filtering and classification of high-dimensional remotely sensed hyperspectral datasets. The proposed approaches are based on the generalization of concepts from mathematical morphology theory to multichannel imagery. A new vector organization scheme is described, and fundamental morphological vector operations are defined by extension. Extended morphological transformations, characterized by Simultaneously considering the spatial and spectral information contained in hyperspectral datasets, are applied to agricultural and urban classification problems where efficacy in discriminating between subtly different ground covers is required. The methods are tested using real hyperspectral imagery collected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory Airborne Visible-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer and the German Aerospace Agency Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (DAIS 7915). Experimental results reveal that, by designing morphological filtering methods that take into account the complementary nature of spatial and spectral information in a simultaneous manner, it is possible to alleviate the problems related to each of them when taken separately.
