Classification of Hyperspectral Images of Explosive Fragments Based on Spatial-Spectral Combination.

The identification and recovery of explosive fragments can provide a reference for the evaluation of explosive power and the design of explosion-proof measures. At present, fragment detection usually uses a few bands in the visible light or infrared bands for imaging, without fully utilizing multi-band spectral information. Hyperspectral imaging has high spectral resolution and can provide multidimensional reference information for the fragments to be classified. Therefore, this article proposed a spatial-spectral joint method for explosive fragment classification by combining hyperspectral imaging technology. In a laboratory environment, this article collected hyperspectral images of explosion fragments scattered in simulated scenes. In order to extract effective features from redundant spectral information and improve classification accuracy, this paper adopted a classification framework based on deep learning. This framework used a convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-term memory network (CNN-BiLSTM) as the spectral information classification model and a U-shaped network (U-Net) as the spatial segmentation model. The experimental results showed that the overall accuracy exceeds 95.2%. The analysis results indicated that the method of spatial-spectral combination can accurately identify explosive fragment targets. It validated the feasibility of using hyperspectral imaging for explosive fragment classification in laboratory environments. Due to the complex environment of the actual explosion site, this study still needs to be validated in outdoor environments. Our next step is to use airborne hyperspectral imaging to identify explosive fragments in outdoor environments.
