This paper presents a novel wavelet and support vector machine (SVM) based method for hyperspectral image classification. A 1-D wavelet transform is applied to the pixel spectra, followed by feature extraction and SVM classification. Contrary to the traditional method of using pixel spectra with SVM classifier, our approach not only reduces the dimension of the input pixel feature vector but also improves the classification accuracy. Texture energy features computed in the spectral dimension are mapped using polynomial kernels and used for training the SVM classifier. Results with AVIRIS and other hyperspectral images for land cover and benthic habitat classification are presented. The accuracy of the method with limited training sets and computational burden is assessed.

Pixel-wise classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs) from remote sensing data is a common approach for extracting information about scenes. In recent years, approaches based on deep learning techniques have gained wide applicability. An HSI dataset can be viewed either as a collection of images, each one captured at a different wavelength, or as a collection of spectra, each one associated with a specific point (pixel). Enhanced classification accuracy is enabled if the spectral and spatial information are combined in the input vector. This allows simultaneous classification according to spectral type but also according to geometric relationships. In this study, we proposed a novel spatial feature vector which improves accuracies in pixel-wise classification. Our proposed feature vector is based on the distance transform of the pixels with respect to the dominant edges in the input HSI. In other words, we allow the location of pixels within geometric subdivisions of the dataset to modify the contribution of each pixel to the spatial feature vector. Moreover, we used the extended multi attribute profile (EMAP) features to add more geometric features to the proposed spatial feature vector. We have performed experiments with three hyperspectral datasets. In addition to the Salinas and University of Pavia datasets, which are commonly used in HSI research, we include samples from our Surrey BC dataset. Our proposed method results compares favorably to traditional algorithms as well as to some recently published deep learning-based algorithms.

Recent research has shown that integration of spatial information has emerged as a powerful tool in improving the classification accuracy of hyperspectral image (HSI). However, partitioning homogeneous regions of the HSI remains a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel spectral-spatial classification method inspired by the support vector machine (SVM). The model consists of spectral-spatial feature extraction channel (SSC) and SVM classifier. SSC is mainly used to extract spatial-spectral features of HSI. SVM is mainly used to classify the extracted features. The model can automatically extract the features of HSI and classify them. Experiments are conducted on benchmark HSI dataset (Indian Pines). It is found that the proposed method yields more accurate classification results compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.

A novel co-regularization framework for active learning is proposed for hyperspectral image classification. The first regularizer explores the intrinsic multi-view information embedded in the hyperspectral data. By adaptively and quantitatively measuring the disagreement level, it focuses only on samples with high uncertainty and builds a contention pool which is a small subset of the overall unlabeled data pool, thereby mitigating the computational cost. The second regularizer is based on the “consistency assumption” and designed on a spatial or the spectral based manifold space. It serves to further focus on the most informative samples within the contention pool by penalizing rapid changes in the classification function evaluated on proximally close samples in a local region. Such changes may be due to the lack of capability of the current learner to describe the unlabeled data. Incorporating manifold learning into the active learning process enforces the clustering assumption and avoids the degradation of the distance measure associated with the original high-dimensional spectral features. One spatial and two local spectral embedding methods are considered in this study, in conjunction with the support vector machine (SVM) classifier implemented with a radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Experiments show excellent performance on AVIRIS and Hyperion hyperspectral data as compared to random sampling and the state-of-the-art SVMSIMPLE.

Hyperspectral image classification is essential for satellite Internet of Things (IoT) to build a large scale land-cover surveillance system. After acquiring real-time land-cover information, the edge of the network transmits all the hyperspectral images by satellites with low-latency and high-efficiency to the cloud computing center, which are provided by satellite IoT. A gigantic amount of remote sensing data bring challenges to the storage and processing capacity of traditional satellite systems. When hyperspectral images are used in annotation of land-cover application, data dimension reduction for classifier efficiency often leads to the decrease of classifier accuracy, especially the region to be annotated consists of natural landform and artificial structure. This paper proposes encoding spectral-spatial features for hyperspectral image classification in the satellite Internet of Things system to extract features effectively, namely attribute profile stacked autoencoder (AP-SAE). Firstly, extended morphology attribute profiles EMAP is used to obtain spatial features of different attribute scales. Secondly, AP-SAE is used to extract spectral features with similar spatial attributes. In this stage the program can learn feature mappings, on which the pixels from the same land-cover class are mapped as closely as possible and the pixels from different land-cover categories are separated by a large margin. Finally, the program trains an effective classifier by using the network of the AP-SAE. Experimental results on three widely-used hyperspectral image (HSI) datasets and comprehensive comparisons with existing methods demonstrate that our proposed method can be used effectively in hyperspectral image classification.

Hyperspectral images are becoming a valuable tool much used in agriculture, mineralogy, and so on. The challenge is to successfully classify the materials founded in the field relevant for different applications. Due to a large amount of data corresponding to a big number of spectral bands, the classification programs require a long time to analyze and classify the data. The purpose is to find a better method for reducing the classification time. We exploit various algorithms on real hyperspectral data sets to find out which algorithm is more effective. This paper presents a comparison of unsupervised hyperspectral image classification such as K-means, Hierarchical clustering, and Parafac decomposition, which allows the performance of the model reduction and feature extraction. The results showed that the method useful for big data is the classification of data after Parafac Decomposition.

Abstract Cloud classification of ground-based images is a challenging task. Recent research has focused on extracting discriminative image features, which are mainly divided into two categories: 1) choosing appropriate texture features and 2) constructing structure features. However, simply using texture or structure features separately may not produce a high performance for cloud classification. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed that can capture both texture and structure information from a color sky image. The algorithm comprises three main stages. First, a preprocessing color census transform (CCT) is applied. The CCT contains two steps: converting red, green, and blue (RGB) values to opponent color space and applying census transform to each component. The CCT can capture texture and local structure information. Second, a novel automatic block assignment method is proposed that can capture global rough structure information. A histogram and image statistics are computed in every block and are concatenated to form a feature vector. Third, the feature vector is fed into a trained support vector machine (SVM) classifier to obtain the cloud type. The results show that this approach outperforms other existing cloud classification methods. In addition, several different color spaces were tested and the results show that the opponent color space is most suitable for cloud classification. Another comparison experiment on classifiers shows that the SVM classifier is more accurate than the k–nearest neighbor (k-NN) and neural networks classifiers.

Generation of a thematic map is important for scientists and agriculture engineers in analyzing different crops in a given field. Remote sensing data are well-accepted for image classification on a vast area of crop investigation. However, most of the research has currently focused on the classification of pixel-based image data for analysis. The study was carried out to develop a multi-category crop hyperspectral image classification system to identify the major crops in the Chiayi Golden Corridor. The hyperspectral image data from CASI (Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager) were used as the experimental data in this study. A two-stage classification was designed to display the performance of the image classification. More specifically, the study used a multi-class classification by support vector machine (SVM) + convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification analysis. SVM is a supervised learning model that analyzes data used for classification. CNN is a class of deep neural networks that is applied to analyzing visual imagery. The image classification comparison was made among four crops (paddy rice, potatoes, cabbages, and peanuts), roads, and structures for classification. In the first stage, the support vector machine handled the hyperspectral image classification through pixel-based analysis. Then, the convolution neural network improved the classification of image details through various blocks (cells) of segmentation in the second stage. A series of discussion and analyses of the results are presented. The repair module was also designed to link the usage of CNN and SVM to remove the classification errors.
