Abstract

Aiming at improving the classification performance with greatly reduced annotation cost, this paper presents an active deep learning approach for minimally-supervised PolSAR image classification, which integrates active learning and fine-tuning convolutional neural network (CNN) into a principled framework. Starting from a CNN trained using a very limited number of labeled pixels, we iteratively and actively select the most informative candidates for annotation, and incrementally fine-tune the CNN by incorporating the newly annotated pixels. Moreover, to boost the performance and robustness of the proposed method, we employ Markov random field to enforce label smoothness, and data augmentation technique to enlarge the training set. Extensive experiments demonstrated that our approach achieved state-of-the-art classification results with significantly reduced annotation cost.
