Abstract
With the rapid developments of hyperspectral imaging, the cost of collecting hyperspectral data has been lower, while the demand for reliable and detailed hyperspectral annotations has been much more substantial. However, limited by the difficulties of labelling annotations, most existing hyperspectral image (HSI) classification methods are trained and evaluated on a single hyperspectral data cube. It brings two significant challenges. On the one hand, many algorithms have reached a nearly perfect classification accuracy, but their trained models are hard to generalize to other datasets. On the other hand, since different hyperspectral datasets are usually not collected in the same scene, different datasets will contain different classes. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a new paradigm for HSI classification, which is training and evaluating separately across different hyperspectral datasets. It is of great help to labelling hyperspectral data. However, it has rarely been studied in the hyperspectral community. In this work, we utilize a three-phase scheme, including feature embedding, feature mapping, and label reasoning. More specifically, we select a pair of datasets acquired by the same hyperspectral sensor, and the classifier learns from one dataset and then evaluated it on the other. Inspired by the latest advances in zero-shot learning, we introduce label semantic representation to establish associations between seen categories in the training set and unseen categories in the testing set. Extensive experiments on two pairs of datasets with different comparative methods have shown the effectiveness and potential of zero-shot learning in HSI classification.
