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.

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.
The paper introduces a PyTorch library that unifies 55 hyperspectral image models across six deep‑learning paradigms, providing a common registry, automatic tensor adaptation, and standardized constructors. It includes 24 benchmark scenes from various sensors, with tools for data preprocessing, patch extraction, and rigorous train‑test partitioning to avoid overlap. Experiments on 1,320 model‑scene combinations show that scene difficulty outweighs architecture choice, with no single paradigm dominating and small models performing competitively with much larger ones.
