Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection via Convolutional Neural Network and Low Rank With Density-Based Clustering

摘要

Over the last two decades, anomaly detection (AD) has been known to play a critical role in hyperspectral image analysis, which provides a new way to distinguish the targets from the background without prior knowledge. Recently, the representation-based methods were proposed and soon became a significant type of methods on hyperspectral AD. In this paper, a novel AD algorithm based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and low-rank representation (LRR) is proposed. First, a CNN model is built and trained on hyperspectral image (HSI) datasets to accurately obtain the resulting abundance maps. Compared with the raw dataset, abundance maps contain more distinctive features to identify anomalies from the background. Second, a dictionary is constructed by the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to stably represent the background component. Third, a matrix decomposition method based on LRR is adopted. In this way, a coefficient matrix corresponding to the constructed dictionary is obtained, which is low rank. At the same time, a residual matrix can be obtained as well, which is sparse. Finally, anomalies can be extracted from the residual matrix. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a superior performance compared to some of the state-of-the-art methods in the field of hyperspectral AD.
