Abstract
Superpixel segmentation is widely used in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification. However, the classification method using simple majority voting cannot easily handle evidence conflicts in a single superpixel. At present, there is no method to evaluate the quality of superpixel classification. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a hybrid classification model based on superpixel entropy discrimination (SED), and constructs a two-level cascade classifier. Firstly, a light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) was used to process large-dimensional input features, and simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) was integrated to obtain the primary classification results based on superpixels. Secondly, information entropy was introduced to evaluate the quality of superpixel classification, and a complex-valued convolutional neural network (CV-CNN) was used to reclassify the high-entropy superpixels to obtain the secondary classification results. Experiments with two measured PolSAR datasets show that the overall accuracy of both classification methods exceeded 97%. This method suppressed the evidence conflict in a single superpixel and the inaccuracy of superpixel segmentation. The test time of our proposed method was shorter than that of CV-CNN, and using only 55% of CV-CNN test data could achieve the same accuracy as using CV-CNN for the whole image.
