Making a high dimensional (e.g., 100k-dim) feature for hyperspectral image classification seems not a good idea because it will bring difficulties on consequent training, computation, and storage. In this paper, we study the performance of a high-dimensional feature by texture feature. The texture feature based on multi-local binary pattern descriptor, can achieve significant improvements over both its tradition version and the one we proposed in our previous work. We also make the high-dimensional feature practical, we employ the PCA method for dimension reduction and support vector machine for hyperspectral image classification. The two real hyperspectral image datasets are employed. Our experimental results with real hyperspectral images indicate that the high dimensional feature can enhance the classification accuracy than some low dimensional.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification is an important task in remote sensing applications. However, it is challenging due to the speckle embedding in SAR imaging, which significantly degrades the classification performance. To address this issue, a new SAR image classification framework based on multi-feature fusion and adaptive kernel combination is proposed in this paper. Expressing pixel similarity by non-negative logarithmic likelihood difference, the generalized neighborhoods are newly defined. The adaptive kernel combination is designed on them to dynamically explore multi-feature information that is robust to speckle noise. Then, local consistency optimization is further applied to enhance label spatial smoothness during classification. By simultaneously utilizing adaptive kernel combination and local consistency optimization for the first time, the texture feature information, context information within features, generalized spatial information between features, and complementary information among features is fully integrated to ensure accurate and smooth classification. Compared with several state-of-the-art methods on synthetic and real SAR images, the proposed method demonstrates better performance in visual effects and classification quality, as the image edges and details are better preserved according to the experimental results.

The classification of high-resolution (HR) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is of great importance for SAR scene interpretation and application. However, the presence of intricate spatial structural patterns and complex statistical nature makes SAR image classification a challenging task, especially in the case of limited labeled SAR data. This paper proposes a novel HR SAR image classification method, using a multi-scale deep feature fusion network and covariance pooling manifold network (MFFN-CPMN). MFFN-CPMN combines the advantages of local spatial features and global statistical properties and considers the multi-feature information fusion of SAR images in representation learning. First, we propose a Gabor-filtering-based multi-scale feature fusion network (MFFN) to capture the spatial pattern and get the discriminative features of SAR images. The MFFN belongs to a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). To make full use of a large amount of unlabeled data, the weights of each layer of MFFN are optimized by unsupervised denoising dual-sparse encoder. Moreover, the feature fusion strategy in MFFN can effectively exploit the complementary information between different levels and different scales. Second, we utilize a covariance pooling manifold network to extract further the global second-order statistics of SAR images over the fusional feature maps. Finally, the obtained covariance descriptor is more distinct for various land covers. Experimental results on four HR SAR images demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and achieve promising results over other related algorithms.
