Deep Neural Networks have been successfully applied in hyperspectral image classification. However, most of prior works adopt general deep architectures while ignore the intrinsic structure of the hyperspectral image, such as the physical noise generation. This would make these deep models unable to generate discriminative features and provide impressive classification performance. To leverage such intrinsic information, this work develops a novel deep learning framework with the noise inclined module and denoise framework for hyperspectral image classification. First, we model the spectral signature of hyperspectral image with the physical noise model to describe the high intraclass variance of each class and great overlapping between different classes in the image. Then, a noise inclined module is developed to capture the physical noise within each object and a denoise framework is then followed to remove such noise from the object. Finally, the CNN with noise inclined module and the denoise framework is developed to obtain discriminative features and provides good classification performance of hyperspectral image. Experiments are conducted over two commonly used real-world datasets and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The implementation of the proposed method and other compared methods could be accessed at https://github.com/shendu-sw/noise-physical-framework.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), from AlexNet to ResNet to ChatGPT, have made revolutionary progress in recent years, and are widely used in various fields. The high performance of DNNs requires a huge amount of high-quality data, expensive computing hardware, and excellent DNN architectures that are costly to obtain. Therefore, trained DNNs are becoming valuable assets and must be considered the Intellectual Property (IP) of the legitimate owner who created them, in order to protect trained DNN models from illegal reproduction, stealing, redistribution, or abuse. Although being a new emerging and interdisciplinary field, numerous DNN model IP protection methods have been proposed. Given this period of rapid evolution, the goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey of two mainstream DNN IP protection methods: deep watermarking and deep fingerprinting, with a proposed taxonomy. More than 190 research contributions are included in this survey, covering many aspects of Deep IP Protection: problem definition, main threats and challenges, merits and demerits of deep watermarking and deep fingerprinting methods, evaluation metrics, and performance discussion. We finish the survey by identifying promising directions for future research.

Deep learning methods have played a more and more important role in hyperspectral image classification. However, the general deep learning methods mainly take advantage of the information of sample itself or the pairwise information between samples while ignore the intrinsic data structure within the whole data. To tackle this problem, this work develops a novel deep manifold embedding method(DMEM) for hyperspectral image classification. First, each class in the image is modelled as a specific nonlinear manifold and the geodesic distance is used to measure the correlation between the samples. Then, based on the hierarchical clustering, the manifold structure of the data can be captured and each nonlinear data manifold can be divided into several sub-classes. Finally, considering the distribution of each sub-class and the correlation between different subclasses, the DMEM is constructed to preserve the estimated geodesic distances on the data manifold between the learned low dimensional features of different samples. Experiments over three real-world hyperspectral image datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
