Description
Summary:In recent years, the deep neural network has shown a strong presence in classification tasks and its effectiveness has been well proved. However, the framework of DNN usually requires a large number of samples. Compared to the training sets in classification tasks, the training sets for the target detection of hyperspectral images may only include a few target spectra which are quite limited and precious. The insufficient labeled samples make the DNN-based hyperspectral target detection task a challenging problem. To address this problem, we propose a hyperspectral target detection approach with an auxiliary generative adversarial network. Specifically, the training set is first expanded by generating simulated target spectra and background spectra using the generative adversarial network. Then, a classifier which is highly associated with the discriminator of the generative adversarial network is trained based on the real and the generated spectra. Finally, in order to further suppress the background, guided filters are utilized to improve the smoothness and robustness of the detection results. Experiments conducted on real hyperspectral images show the proposed approach is able to perform more efficiently and accurately compared to other target detection approaches.
