Robust hyperspectral image classification using generative adversarial networks

Abstract

This paper introduces Sill-Rgan, a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) designed to improve hyperspectral image (HSI) classification under varying lighting conditions. Sill-Rgan uniquely maps different light condition domains, enhancing sample classification robustness and generating new virtual samples. Addressing challenges like high spectral dimensionality and noise in HSI classification, our approach utilizes a deep proxy-based learning framework. It integrates and improves advanced GAN models and multitask networks for optimal training stability and loss function optimization. The model's mapping network is adept at generating domain-specific latent codes, enabling the transformation of original hyperspectral data into enhanced versions. Extensive experiments conducted on hyperspectral datasets of agricultural products under diverse indoor and outdoor lighting conditions confirm the effectiveness of Sill-Rgan. The results highlight the model's adaptability in both supervised and semi-supervised learning scenarios, yielding exceptional classification accuracy and enhanced data quality. The versatile potential of Sill-Rgan extends its applicability to a broad range of spectral data classifications, underlining its significant contribution to hyperspectral imaging. This advancement opens new avenues in machine vision systems, particularly in scenarios with dynamic lighting challenges.
