Spectral–Spatial Feature Extraction for Hyperspectral Image Classification: A Dimension Reduction and Deep Learning Approach

摘要

In this paper, we propose a spectral–spatial feature based classification (SSFC) framework that jointly uses dimension reduction and deep learning techniques for spectral and spatial feature extraction, respectively. In this framework, a balanced local discriminant embedding algorithm is proposed for spectral feature extraction from high-dimensional hyperspectral data sets. In the meantime, convolutional neural network is utilized to automatically find spatial-related features at high levels. Then, the fusion feature is extracted by stacking spectral and spatial features together. Finally, the multiple-feature-based classifier is trained for image classification. Experimental results on well-known hyperspectral data sets show that the proposed SSFC method outperforms other commonly used methods for hyperspectral image classification.
