Ground object information extraction from hyperspectral remote sensing images using deep learning algorithm

Abstract

Mining and utilizing coal resources play an influential role in economic development. In this regard, the feature information extraction in the area is researched to accurately and efficiently assist the production arrangement and deployment in the mining area. First, the detection ability of Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image (HRSI) technology is analyzed. It has high spectral resolution and many bands. Specific bands can be extracted as needed to highlight target features. According to the characteristics of HRSIs, the data spectrum information and spatial information are comprehensively utilized, and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on deep learning is employed for feature extraction. CNN allows the machine to automatically obtain data features by learning and guide the classification of features. Taking the Liuyuan research area in Gansu as an example, three CNN models are used to extract and classify the ground features in the area. The VGG-19 model can provide the highest classification accuracy rate, reaching 87.3%; the VGG-16 model has the highest classification accuracy rate of the ground in the mining area, reaching 95.2%. ResNet model has the best effect on road classification. Then, the lithology classification is applied based on Thermal Airborne Hyperspectral Imager (TASI) data. The noise level of the first 20 bands is comparatively stable; afterward, it increases exponentially, showing a higher noise level, and the spectrum curve of the data after denoising becomes smoother. The end-member extraction method is employed to extract 25 end-member spectra of almost all lithology in the research area from the image. The similarity coefficient clustering analysis is employed to group the curves, which are divided into six categories in total. The separability of similar categories can be constrained by the objective function using the dictionary learning method, and the accuracy of the sparse representation of the category spectrum can be improved. The spectral matching method is used to subdivide each group of mapping results, suggesting that in the research area, granite is the most widely distributed, followed by diorite, andesite, and quartzite. Deep learning algorithms are applied to extract ground feature information, which is of great significance to the safety production in the mining area. The hyperspectral remote sensing rock and mineral thematic information extraction module is developed, which preliminarily realizes the quantitative acquisition and high-precision identification of typical mineral information, and provides technical support for the research of remote sensing geological evaluation technology of resource exploration in the new era.
