Multiscale Feature Aggregation Capsule Neural Network for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image Classification
REMOTE SENSING(2022)
摘要
Models based on capsule neural network (CapsNet), a novel deep learning method, have recently made great achievements in hyperspectral remote sensing image (HSI) classification due to their excellent ability to implicitly model the spatial relationship knowledge embedded in HSIs. However, the number of labeled samples is a common bottleneck in HSI classification, limiting the performance of these deep learning models. To alleviate the problem of limited labeled samples and further explore the potential of CapsNet in the HSI classification field, this study proposes a multiscale feature aggregation capsule neural network (MS-CapsNet) based on CapsNet via the implementation of two branches that simultaneously extract spectral, local spatial, and global spatial features to integrate multiscale features and improve model robustness. Furthermore, because deep features are generally more discriminative than shallow features, two kinds of capsule residual (CapsRES) blocks based on 3D convolutional capsule (3D-ConvCaps) layers and residual connections are proposed to increase the depth of the network and solve the limited labeled sample problem in HSI classification. Moreover, a squeeze-and-excitation (SE) block is introduced in the shallow layers of MS-CapsNet to enhance its feature extraction ability. In addition, a reasonable initialization strategy that transfers parameters from two well-designed, pretrained deep convolutional capsule networks is introduced to help the model find a good set of initializing weight parameters and further improve the HSI classification accuracy of MS-CapsNet. Experimental results on four widely used HSI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can provide results comparable to those of state-of-the-art methods.
