Summary: | Target detection and classification in the shadow area of hyperspectral images (HSIs) has always been an important problem in the field of HSI data processing. However, there are few methods to detect or classify targets in the shadow area effectively because of occlusion of objects or oblique solar radiation. Dynamic stochastic resonance (DSR) theory shows that under the synergistic action of weak input signal, noise and non-linear system, the energy of noise can be transferred into signal partially. It breaks the idea that signal can be enhanced only by eliminating noise and has been proved to be effective in many fields. In this paper, DSR is introduced into the shadow area enhancement of HSI from both spatial and spectral dimensions. Then, the enhanced HSI data can be obtained by fusing the processed shadow with the original HSI data. Finally, 2D convolutional neural networks (2D-CNN) is used to classify the enhanced HSI. To evaluate the proposed method, a real-world HSI has been processed in the experiment and the results show that DSR can improve the contrast and the spectral intensity of HSI shadow area. Compared to other state-of-the-art methods, the classification accuracy is better at containing different targets with small samples, especially in the spectral dimension.
