SegHSI: Semantic Segmentation of Hyperspectral Images with Limited Labeled Pixels

Hyperspectral images (HSIs), with hundreds of narrow spectral bands, are increasingly used for ground object classification in remote sensing. However, many HSI classification models operate pixel-by-pixel, limiting the utilization of spatial information and resulting in increased inference time for the whole image. This paper proposes SegHSI, an effective and efficient end-to-end HSI segmentation model, alongside a novel training strategy. SegHSI adopts a head-free structure with cluster attention modules and spatial-aware feedforward networks (SA-FFN) for multiscale spatial encoding. Cluster attention encodes pixels through constructed clusters within the HSI, while SA-FFN integrates depth-wise convolution to enhance spatial context. Our training strategy utilizes a student-teacher model framework that combines labeled pixel class information with consistency learning on unlabeled pixels. Experiments on three public HSI datasets demonstrate that SegHSI not only surpasses other state-of-the-art models in segmentation accuracy but also achieves inference time at the scale of seconds, even reaching sub-second speeds for full-image classification.
