Deep learning based land cover classification algorithms have recently been proposed in the literature. In hyperspectral images (HSIs), they face the challenges of large dimensionality, spatial variability of spectral signatures, and scarcity of labeled data. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning architecture that extracts band specific spectral-spatial features and performs land cover classification. The architecture has fewer independent connection weights and thus requires fewer training samples. The method is found to outperform the highest reported accuracies on popular HSI data sets.

In this paper, we propose deformable deep convolutional neural networks for generic object detection. This new deep learning object detection framework has innovations in multiple aspects. In the proposed new deep architecture, a new deformation constrained pooling (def-pooling) layer models the deformation of object parts with geometric constraint and penalty. A new pre-training strategy is proposed to learn feature representations more suitable for the object detection task and with good generalization capability. By changing the net structures, training strategies, adding and removing some key components in the detection pipeline, a set of models with large diversity are obtained, which significantly improves the effectiveness of model averaging. The proposed approach improves the mean averaged precision obtained by RCNN [1] , which was the state-of-the-art, from $31$ to $50.3$ percent on the ILSVRC2014 detection test set. It also outperforms the winner of ILSVRC2014, GoogLeNet, by 6.1 percent. Detailed component-wise analysis is also provided through extensive experimental evaluation, which provides a global view for people to understand the deep learning object detection pipeline.
