Attention Based Generative Adversarial Networks to Augment Image Data for Rapid Training

In this paper, we develop an Attention based Generative Adversarial Networks (AGAN) to augment image data for the purpose of robust training for efficient processing of the hyper spectral imaging. The AGAN model enables generation of images from the sample images that helps in training the classifier and in this study a fundamental classifier namely a convolutional neural network is used. A robust training is conducted to test the accuracy of detecting the instances effectively using the dataset. The simulation shows that the proposed AGAN-CNN attains improved accuracy after robust training than the existing methods.
