Image time series, such as Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) or MRI functional sequences in the medical domain, carry both spatial and temporal information. In many pattern recognition applications such as image classification, taking into account such rich information may be crucial and discriminative during the decision making stage. However, the extraction of spatio-temporal features from image time series is difficult to handle due to the complex representation of the data cube. In this paper, we present a strategy based on Random Walk to build a novel segment-based representation of the data, passing from a 2D + t dimension to a 2D one, more easily manipulable and without losing too much spatial information. Such new representation is then used to feed a classical Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in order to learn spatio-temporal features with only 2D convolutions and to classify image time series data for a particular classification problem. The influence of the way the 2D + t data are represented, as well as the impact of the network architectures on the results, are carefully studied. The interest of this approach is highlighted on a remote sensing application for the classification of complex agricultural crops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
