arXiv:2608. 16241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feature extraction for hyperspectral image classification is conventionally addressed using rigid tensor decompositions that fail to capture complex spatio-spectral interdependencies, or heavily parameterized convolutional neural networks that are computationally expensive.

Hyperspectral remote sensing provides dense spectral measurements that are indispensable for material-level Earth observation, yet the construction of a general-purpose hyperspectral foundation model...
The technical report introduces Hyperspectral Image Models, a modular framework that unifies 55 deep‑learning models across six paradigms for hyperspectral remote sensing. It standardizes tensor conventions, evaluation protocols, and dataset handling, integrating 24 benchmark scenes from various sensors and providing tools to avoid train‑test overlap. Experiments across 1,320 model‑scene combinations show that scene difficulty outweighs architecture, with no single paradigm dominating and small models achieving performance comparable to much larger ones.

HyperSAM is a promptable foundation model for hyperspectral remote sensing that integrates a data‑centric synthesis pipeline with a spectral adaptation architecture based on Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM3). The model generates full‑spectrum hyperspectral cubes from high‑resolution multispectral imagery using a physics‑informed abundance‑transfer generator, and employs SAM3‑derived pseudo‑masks for object‑centric supervision. With a frozen SAM3 RGB branch, a trainable hyperspectral encoder, ControlNet‑style feature injection, and a mixture‑of‑experts mask refiner, HyperSAM demonstrates strong generalization across diverse hyperspectral tasks such as classification, anomaly detection, change detection, target detection, and airborne oil‑spill mapping.

The paper critiques the common practice of random pixel splits in hyperspectral image classification, noting that such splits allow test pixels to be adjacent to training pixels, inflating accuracy. It proposes a leakage‑free evaluation protocol that enforces spatial separation based on the model’s receptive field and applies it to ten diverse architectures, finding a significant drop in Macro‑F1 (average 0.147) and substantial changes in model rankings. The study also shows that all ten models misclassify the same pixels, indicating a spectral ambiguity in the data that current methods cannot resolve.

Matricized low-rank approximation via SVD is a standard surrogate for tensor decompositions, but entry-wise reconstruction error fails to capture multiway geometric degradation. Under an orthogonal Tucker model, we characterize this degradation using two metrics: cross-mode Direction Loss, measuring geometric subspace deviation from rank truncation and noise rotation, and Interaction Loss, quantifying multilinear interaction distortion in the core tensor.

The paper presents efficient approximations for key statistics of the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) in finite-width neural networks using randomized trace estimation (Hutch++). It demonstrates that the NTK trace, Frobenius norm, effective rank, and alignment can be estimated with high accuracy via matrix-free products, leveraging the NTK’s positive-semidefinite structure to use one-sided estimators with forward or reverse-mode differentiation. Experiments on MLPs, GRUs, and a 410‑million‑parameter Transformer show orders‑of‑magnitude speedups and enable practical state‑space NTK diagnostics at large scales, including applications to RNN training and data‑scarce knowledge distillation.
