Hyperspectral image classification vulnerable to data leakage via spatial overlap

A new research paper highlights a critical issue in hyperspectral image classification: data leakage caused by spatial overlap in patch-based sampling. When training and testing data are drawn from the same image without accounting for spatial proximity, performance metrics can be significantly inflated. Experiments using various models, including 3D-CNN and ViT, on the Pavia University dataset demonstrated that this leakage can cause accuracy to drop by over 40 percentage points when spatial sampling is properly handled. The study also found that increasing patch size exacerbates the overlap problem, underscoring the need for careful evaluation methodologies in hyperspectral image analysis. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential overestimation of model performance in hyperspectral imaging, urging for more rigorous evaluation practices.

    Data Leakage in Patch-Based Hyperspectral Image Classification: Quantifying the Impact of Spatial Overlap

    arXiv:2610.08770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patch-based learning improves hyperspectral image (HSI) classification by exploiting local spectral-spatial information, but random train-test sampling from the same image can cause spatial patch overlap, leading to data leakage and…
