Abstract:Accurate classification of hyperspectral imagery (HSI) is often frustrated by the tension between high-dimensional spectral data and the extreme scarcity of labeled training samples. While hierarchical models like LoLA-SpecViT have demonstrated the power of local windowed attention and parameter-efficient fine-tuning, the quadratic complexity of standard Transformers remains a barrier to scaling. We introduce VP-Hype, a framework that rethinks HSI classification by unifying the linear-time efficiency of State-Space Models (SSMs) with the relational modeling of Transformers in a novel hybrid architecture. Building on a robust 3D-CNN spectral front-end, VP-Hype replaces conventional attention blocks with a Hybrid Mamba-Transformer backbone to capture long-range dependencies with significantly reduced computational overhead. Furthermore, we address the label-scarcity problem by integrating dual-modal Visual and Textual Prompts that provide context-aware guidance for the feature extraction process. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that VP-Hype establishes a new state of the art in low-data regimes. Specifically, with a training sample distribution of only 2\%, the model achieves Overall Accuracy (OA) of 99.69\% on the Salinas dataset and 99.45\% on the Longkou dataset. These results suggest that the convergence of hybrid sequence modeling and multi-modal prompting provides a robust path forward for high-performance, sample-efficient remote sensing.
Abstract:As one of the most widely cultivated and consumed crops, wheat is essential to global food security. However, wheat production is increasingly challenged by pests, diseases, climate change, and water scarcity, threatening yields. Traditional crop monitoring methods are labor-intensive and often ineffective for early issue detection. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has emerged as a non-destructive and efficient technology for remote crop health assessment. However, the high dimensionality of HSI data and limited availability of labeled samples present notable challenges. In recent years, deep learning has shown great promise in addressing these challenges due to its ability to extract and analysis complex structures. Despite advancements in applying deep learning methods to HSI data for wheat crop analysis, no comprehensive survey currently exists in this field. This review addresses this gap by summarizing benchmark datasets, tracking advancements in deep learning methods, and analyzing key applications such as variety classification, disease detection, and yield estimation. It also highlights the strengths, limitations, and future opportunities in leveraging deep learning methods for HSI-based wheat crop analysis. We have listed the current state-of-the-art papers and will continue tracking updating them in the following https://github.com/fadi-07/Awesome-Wheat-HSI-DeepLearning.
