Self-Correlation Network With Triple Contrastive Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification With Noisy Labels by Kwabena Sarpong, Mohammad Awrangjeb, Md. Saiful Islam, Islam Helmy

“…Then, we propose a cross-convolutional with a self-correlation network (ConvSCNet) module to extract spatial-spectral feature representation from all augmented samples. Subsequently, we employ instance- and cluster-level contrastive learnings to project the feature matrix in row and column spaces to minimize negative and maximize positive pairs. …”
