See the Future, Classify the Present: Stochastic Latent World Modeling for Hyperspectral Images

Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) relies on static spatial-spectral representations learned from labeled samples, limiting its ability to model structured dependencies in the latent representation space.

Key points

  • To address this limitation, this work proposes Stochastic Latent World Modeling (LWM), a trajectory-based representation-learning framework that enriches classification through stochastic latent-state prediction.
  • Given a hyperspectral patch, LWM tokenizes and encodes spectral and spatial information separately using dedicated transformer branches, then fuses their outputs into a unified representation.
  • A stochastic latent transition module then predicts multiple future latent states through Gaussian parameterization and reparameterization, with recurrent refinement used to model dependencies across successive states.
  • By extending static spatial-spectral encoding with stochastic multi-step latent-state modeling, LWM enables the classifier to exploit structured dependencies in the representation space and provides richer features for HSIC.
