SPPF for HSI classification
Abstract
During recent years, convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have been widely applied to hyperspectral image (HSI) classification by mostly mining the spectral variabilities. In particular, the scarcity of training labels motivates the development of pixel pair features (PPF) for classification networks. However, the spatial consistency in HSI is largely ignored in PPF.
Alternatively, we propose an improved, multi-stream convolutional neural network based on new spatial pixel pair feature (SPPF) to exploit both the spatial contextual information and spectral information. Unlike previous PPF features, SPPF is constructed by creating pixel pairs with deterministic spatial choices limited to adjacent pixel locations with fixed orders. Furthermore, the classification is achieved via a series of sub-networks (streams) with our proposed late fusion layers: an averaging pooling layer for rotation invariance and two fully connected layers for scoring.
Additionally, the proposed multi-stream late fusion network outperforms existing ones without requiring carefully handcrafted network configurations. Overall, experimental results on three publicly available datasets demonstrate the success of the proposed SPPF based network.
