Hyperspectral Band Selection for Multispectral Image Classification with Convolutional Networks

Description

We present a novel band selection method to determine relevant wavelengths obtained from an HSI system in the context of image classification. Our approach consists of two main steps: the first, called Inter-Band Redundancy Analysis (IBRA), finds relevant spectral bands based on a collinearity analysis between a band and its neighbors in order to determine the distance we need to move away from it to find sufficiently distinct bands. The analysis of the distribution of this metric across the spectrum helps to remove redundant bands and dramatically reduces the search space. The second, called Greedy Spectral Selection (GSS) uses the reduced set of bands and selects the top-k bands, where k is the desired number of bands, according to their information entropy values; then, the band that presents the most severe indication of multicollinearity is removed from the current selection and the next available pre-selected band is considered if the classification performance improves. We present the classification results obtained from our method and compare them to other feature selection methods on two hyperspectral image datasets. Furthermore, we use the original hyperspectral data cube to simulate the process of using actual filters in a multispectral imager. We show that our method produces more suitable results for a multispectral sensor design.

Datasets

We used an in-greenhouse controlled HSI dataset of Kochia leaves in order to classify three different herbicide-resistance levels (herbicide-susceptible, dicamba-resistant, and glyphosate-resistant). A total of 76 images of kochia with varying spatial resolution and 300 spectral bands ranging from 387.12 to 1023.5 nm were captured. From these images, which were previously calibrated and converted to reflectance values, we manually extracted 6,316 25x25 pixel overlapping patches. The Kochia dataset can be downloaded from here.

Furthermore, we used two well-known remote sensing HSI dataset: Indian Pines (IP) and Salinas (SA), which can be downloaded from here or from the "src/HSIBandSelection/Data" folder from this repository.

Installation

The following libraries have to be installed:

To install the package, run !pip install -q git+https://github.com/NISL-MSU/HSI-BandSelection in the terminal.

You can also try the package on Google Colab.

Usage

Load your data

You can bring your own HSI classification dataset. Format the input data as a set of image data cubes of shape $(N, w, h, b)$, where $N$ is the number of data cubes, $w$ and $h$ are the width and the height of the cubes, and $b$ is the number of spectral bands. You could use the createImageCubes method, provided here, as a reference to format your data.

In this example, we will load the Indian Pines dataset, which is an image with shape (145, 145, 200).

from HSIBandSelection.readSAT import loadata, createImageCubes
X, Y = loadata(name='IP')
print('Initial image shape: ' + str(X.shape))

X, Y = createImageCubes(X, Y, window=5)
print('Processed dataset shape: ' + str(X.shape))

In this case, we loaded a HS image saved in our package. It doesn't matter where you bring the data from, you only need to provide the $X$ (input data) and $Y$ (target labels) matrices. In addition, assign your dataset a name; otherwise, it will be called temp. With these three elements, we create a data object:

from HSIBandSelection.utils import Dataset
dataset = Dataset(train_x=X, train_y=Y, name='IP')

Execute the Band Selection / Dimensionality Reduction Algorithm

We'll use the SelectBands class. Parameters:

  • dataset: utils.Dataset object
  • method: Method name. Options: 'IBRA', 'GSS' (IBRA+GSS), 'PCA' (IBRA+PCA), and 'PLS' (IBRA+PLS). Default: 'GSS'
  • classifier: Classifier type. Options: 'CNN' (if data is 2D), 'ANN', 'RF', 'SVM'. Default: 'CNN'
  • nbands: How many spectral bands you want to select or reduce to. Default: 5
  • transform: If True, the final selected bands will suffer a Gaussian transformation to simulate being a multispectral band. Default: False
  • average: If True, average consecutive bands to reduce the initial total # of bands to half. Default: False
  • epochs: Number of iterations used to train the NN models. Default: 150
  • batch_size: Batch size used to train the NN models. Default: 128
  • scratch: If True, execute the IBRA process from scratch and replace previously saved results. Default: True
from HSIBandSelection.SelectBands import SelectBands
selector = SelectBands(dataset=dataset, method='GSS', nbands=5)

From the SelectBands class, we call the run_selection method. Parameters:

  • init_vf: Initial Variance Inflation Factor threshold (used for IBRA). Default: 12
  • final_vf: Final Variance Inflation Factor threshold (used for IBRA). Default: 5

Return:

  • VIF_best: The VIF threshold at which the best results were obtained
  • IBRA_best: The best pre-selected bands using Iner-band redundancy
  • stats_best: The best performance metric values obtained after 5x2 CV using the selected bands

If the selected method is GSS:

  • VIF_best: The VIF threshold at which the best results were obtained
  • IBRA_best: The best pre-selected bands using Iner-band redundancy
  • GSS_best: The best combination of bands obtained using GSS
  • stats_best: The best performance metric values obtained after 5x2 CV using the selected bands

If the selected method is PCA or PLS:

  • VIF_best: The VIF threshold at which the best results were obtained
  • IBRA_best: The best pre-selected bands using Iner-band redundancy
  • reduced_dataset: The reduced dataset after applying PCA or PLS to the pre-selected bands
  • stats_best: The best performance metric values obtained after 5x2 CV using the reduced bands
VIF_best, IBRA_best, GSS_best, stats_best = selector.run_selection()
print('The best metrics were obtained using a VIF value of {}'.format(VIF_best))
print('The pre-selected bands obtained by IBRA wew {}'.format(IBRA_best))
print('The pre-selected bands obtained by IBRA+GSS wew {}'.format(GSS_best))
print('The best classification metrics were as follows:')
print(stats_best)
