Summary

Researchers proposed HGFNet, a hybrid deep learning architecture combining 3D convolutional local feature extraction with three complementary Fourier transform strategies for hyperspectral image classification, achieving efficient long-range spectral-spatial modeling and improved discrimination of underrepresented classes via an adaptive focal loss mechanism.

Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) has been significantly advanced by deep learning methods that exploit rich spatial-spectral correlations. However, existing approaches still face fundamental limitations: transformer-based models suffer from poor scalability due to the quadratic complexity of self-attention, while recent Fourier transform-based methods typically rely on 2D spatial FFTs and largely ignore critical inter-band spectral dependencies inherent to hyperspectral data. To address these challenges, we propose Hybrid GFNet (HGFNet), a novel architecture that integrates localized 3D convolutional feature extraction with frequency-domain global filtering via GFNet-style blocks for efficient and robust spatial-spectral representation learning. HGFNet introduces three complementary frequency transforms tailored to hyperspectral imagery: Spectral Fourier Transform (a 1D FFT along the spectral axis), Spatial Fourier Transform (a 2D FFT over spatial dimensions), and Spatial-Spatial Fourier Transform (a 3D FFT jointly over spectral and spatial dimensions), enabling comprehensive and high-dimensional frequency modeling. The 3D convolutional layers capture fine-grained local spatial-spectral structures, while the Fourier-based global filtering modules efficiently model long-range dependencies and suppress noise. To further mitigate the severe class imbalance commonly observed in HSIC, HGFNet incorporates an Adaptive Focal Loss (AFL) that dynamically adjusts class-wise focusing and weighting, improving discrimination for underrepresented classes.
