Class-Discrepancy Dynamic Weighting for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Hyperspectral Image Classification

In recent years, cross-domain few-shot learning (CDFSL) has demonstrated remarkable performance in hyperspectral image classification (HSIC), partially alleviating the distribution shift problem. However, most domain adaptation methods rely on similarity metrics to establish cross-domain class match...

description In recent years, cross-domain few-shot learning (CDFSL) has demonstrated remarkable performance in hyperspectral image classification (HSIC), partially alleviating the distribution shift problem. However, most domain adaptation methods rely on similarity metrics to establish cross-domain class matching, making it difficult to simultaneously account for intra-class sample size variations and inherent inter-class differences. To address this problem, existing studies have introduced a class weighting mechanism within the prototype network framework, determining class weights by calculating inter-sample similarity through distance metrics. However, this method suffers from a dual limitation: susceptibility to noise interference and insufficient capacity to capture global class variations, which may lead to distorted weight allocation and consequently result in alignment bias. To solve these issues, we propose a novel class-discrepancy dynamic weighting-based cross-domain FSL (CDDW-CFSL) framework. It integrates three key components: (1) the class-weighted domain adaptation (CWDA) method dynamically measures cross-domain distribution shifts using global class mean discrepancies. It employs discrepancy-sensitive weighting to strengthen the alignment of critical categories, enabling accurate domain adaptation while maintaining feature topology; (2) the class mean refinement (CMR) method incorporates class covariance distance to compute distribution discrepancies between support set samples and class prototypes, enabling the precise capture of cross-domain feature internal structures; (3) a novel multi-dimensional feature extractor that captures both local spatial details and continuous spectral characteristics simultaneously, facilitating deep cross-dimensional feature fusion. The results in three publicly available HSIC datasets show the effectiveness of the CDDW-CFSL.
