Spectral–Spatial Graph Convolutional Networks for Semisupervised Hyperspectral Image Classification

摘要

Collecting labeled samples is quite costly and time-consuming for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification task. Semisupervised learning framework, which combines the intrinsic information of labeled and unlabeled samples, can alleviate the deficient labeled samples and increase the accuracy of HSI classification. In this letter, we propose a novel semisupervised learning framework that is based on spectral-spatial graph convolutional networks (S(2)GCNs). It explicitly utilizes the adjacency nodes in graph to approximate the convolution. In the process of approximate convolution on graph, the proposed method makes full use of the spatial information of the current pixel. The experimental results on three real-life HSI data sets, i.e., Botswana Hyperion, Kennedy Space Center, and Indian Pines, show that the proposed S(2)GCN can significantly improve the classification accuracy. For instance, the overall accuracy on Indian data is increased from 66.8% (GCN) to 91.6%.
