Abstract

With the advancement of deep learning, related networks have shown strong performance for Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification. However, these methods face two main challenges in HSI classification: (1) the inability to capture global information of HSI due to the restriction of patch input and (2) insufficient utilization of information from limited labeled samples. To overcome these challenges, we propose an Advanced Global Prototypical Segmentation (AGPS) framework. Within the AGPS framework, we design a patch-free feature extractor segmentation network (SegNet) based on a fully convolutional network (FCN), which processes the entire HSI to capture global information. To enrich the global information extracted by SegNet, we propose a Fusion of Lateral Connection (FLC) structure that fuses the low-level detailed features of the encoder output with the high-level features of the decoder output. Additionally, we propose an Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling-Position Attention (ASPP-PA) module to capture multi-scale spatial positional information. Finally, to explore more valuable information from limited labeled samples, we propose an advanced global prototypical representation learning strategy. Building upon the dual constraints of the global prototypical representation learning strategy, we introduce supervised contrastive learning (CL), which optimizes our network with three different constraints. The experimental results of three public datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods.
