Description
Summary:Deep learning models have obtained great success in hyperspectral image classification tasks. Nevertheless, they are usually vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Some existing works have been made to defend against adversarial attacks in HSI classification. These works primarily focus on lots of adversarial samples and spatial relationships while overlooking the strong long-range dependencies from HSI. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel spectral spatial mamba adversarial defense network (SSMADNet) for hyperspectral adversarial image classification. It includes a dense involution branch, a spectral mamba branch, and a spatial multiscale mamba branch. The dense involution branch extracts embedding features via three dense involution layers. The spectral mamba branch can learn the spectral sequence information from HSI adversarial samples. The spatial multiscale mamba branch can model the long-range interaction of the whole image. Finally, a spectral spatial feature enhancement module is designed to adaptively enhance useful spectral spatial features of HSI. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that on five HSI adversarial datasets, the proposed SSMADNet achieves higher classification accuracies than state-of-the-art adversarial defense methods. In particular, our method obtains best OA (93.80%) on the Botswana adversarial data, which is much higher than the suboptimal method (OA = 90.30%).
