Abstract:Deep learning, which represents data by a hierarchical network, has proven to be efficient in computer vision. To investigate the effect of deep features in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, this paper focuses on how to extract and utilize deep features in HSI classification framework. First, in order to extract spectral-spatial information, an improved deep network, spatial updated deep auto-encoder (SDAE), is proposed. SDAE, which is an improved deep auto-encoder (DAE), considers sample similarity by adding a regularization term in the energy function, and updates features by integrating contextual information. Second, in order to deal with the small training set using deep features, a collaborative representation-based classification is applied. Moreover, in order to suppress salt-and-pepper noise and smooth the result, we compute the residual of collaborative representation of all samples as a residual matrix, which can be effectively used in a graph-cut-based spatial regularization. The proposed method inherits the advantages of deep learning and has solutions to add spatial information of HSI in the learning network. Using collaborative representation-based classification with deep features makes the proposed classifier extremely robust under a small training set. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method provides encouraging results compared with some related techniques.
