Multi-feature Classification of Hyperspectral Image via Probabilistic SVM and Guided Filter

摘要

To deal with “curse of dimensionality” caused by high-dimensional data and the underutilization of spatial information in the classification of hyperspectral imagery (HSI), a new spectral-spatial classification method based on probabilistic support vector machine (SVM) and guided filter is proposed. The proposed method utilizes spatial information in two aspects. Firstly, the extended morphological profiles (EMP), differential morphological profiles (DMP) and Gabor textural features of hyperspectral image are extracted, which can preserve the texture, outline and shape of the original image. The spectral and extracted spatial features are joint classified by probabilistic SVM to obtain the initial classification probabilistic maps. Secondly, the guided filter is used to regularize the initial classification probabilistic maps, which can enhance the smoothness of local neighbourhood and preserve the edge information. The proposed algorithm is examined by the Indian Pines and University of Pavia hyperspectral datasets. On the same experimental conditions, the proposed method achieves the highest classification accuracy and the most reasonable classification map, demonstrating the proposed algorithm has obvious advantages in hyperspectral remote image classification.
