Enhancing Hyperspectral Image Classification and Segmentation with GNN and Ensemble U-Net

Hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis presents unique challenges due to the high dimensionality and complex spatial and spectral data involved. To address these, we propose a novel framework that integrates Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with a Clustering Ensemble U-Net (CEU- Net) to enhance both classification and segmentation performance in HSI tasks. The GNN component captures intricate spatial relationships by modeling contextual dependencies between pixels, while the CEU-Net efficiently processes spectral information by leveraging a clustering-based ensemble of UNets. Using the Sentinel-2 dataset, the proposed framework achieves a classification accuracy of 95.4% and segmentation accuracy of 92.7%, significantly outperforming existing methods. This hybrid approach provides a robust and efficient solution, advancing the field of hyperspectral image analysis with applications spanning from precision agriculture to urban land cover mapping.

Abstract

Hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis presents unique challenges due to the high dimensionality and complex spatial and spectral data involved. To address these, we propose a novel framework that integrates Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with a Clustering Ensemble U-Net (CEU- Net) to enhance both classification and segmentation performance in HSI tasks. The GNN component captures intricate spatial relationships by modeling contextual dependencies between pixels, while the CEU-Net efficiently processes spectral information by leveraging a clustering-based ensemble of UNets. Using the Sentinel-2 dataset, the proposed framework achieves a classification accuracy of 95.4% and segmentation accuracy of 92.7%, significantly outperforming existing methods. This hybrid approach provides a robust and efficient solution, advancing the field of hyperspectral image analysis with applications spanning from precision agriculture to urban land cover mapping.
