Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Dense Pyramidal Convolution and Multi-Feature Fusion

Abstract

In recent years, hyperspectral image classification techniques have attracted a lot of attention from many scholars because they can be used to model the development of different cities and provide a reference for urban planning and construction. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining hyperspectral images, only a limited number of pixels can be used as training samples. Therefore, how to adequately extract and utilize the spatial and spectral information of hyperspectral images with limited training samples has become a difficult problem. To address this issue, we propose a hyperspectral image classification method based on dense pyramidal convolution and multi-feature fusion (DPCMF). In this approach, two branches are designed to extract spatial and spectral features, respectively. In the spatial branch, dense pyramid convolutions and non-local blocks are used to extract multi-scale local and global spatial features in image samples, which are then fused to obtain spatial features. In the spectral branch, dense pyramidal convolution layers are used to extract spectral features in image samples. Finally, the spatial and spectral features are fused and fed into fully connected layers to obtain classification results. The experimental results show that the overall accuracy (OA) of the method proposed in this paper is 96.74%, 98.10%, 98.92% and 96.67% on the four hyperspectral datasets, respectively. Significant improvements are achieved compared to the five methods of SVM, SSRN, FDSSC, DBMA and DBDA for hyperspectral classification. Therefore, the proposed method can better extract and exploit the spatial and spectral information in image samples when the number of training samples is limited. Provide more realistic and intuitive terrain and environmental conditions for urban planning, design, construction and management.
