• Abstract: Hyperspectral images capture vast amounts of high-dimensional spectral information about a scene, making labeling an intensive task that is resistant to out-of-the-box statistical methods. Unsupervised learning of clusters allows for automated segmentation of the scene, enabling a more rapid understanding of the image. Partitioning the spectral information contained within the data via dictionary learning in Wasserstein space has proven an effective method for unsupervised clustering. However, this approach requires balancing the spectral profiles of the data, blurring the classes, and sacrificing robustness to outliers and noise. In this paper, we suggest improving this approach by utilizing unbalanced Wasserstein barycenters to learn a lower-dimensional representation of the underlying data. The deployment of spectral clustering on the learned representation results in an effective approach for the unsupervised learning of labels.

  Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is gaining a lot of momentum in present time because of high inherent spectral information within the images. Recently, to effectively train the deep learning models with minimal labelled samples, the unlabeled samples are also being leveraged in self-supervised and semi-supervised setting. In this work, we leverage the idea of semi-supervised learning to assist the discriminative self-supervised pretraining of the models.
