摘要

Band selection is widely used to identify relevant bands for land-cover classification of hyperspectral images. The combination of spectral and spatial information can improve the classification performance of hyperspectral images dramatically. Similarly, the fusion of spectral-spatial information should also improve the performance of band selection. In this article, two semi-supervised wrapper-based spectral-spatial band selection algorithms are proposed. The local spatial smoothness of hyperspectral imagery is used to improve the performance of band selection when limited labelled samples available. With superpixel segmentation, the first algorithm uses the statistical characteristics of classification map to predict the classification quality of all samples. Based on the Markov random field model, the second algorithm incorporates the spatial information by the minimization of spectral-spatial energy function. Four widely used real hyperspectral data sets are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, when compared to cross-validation-based wrapper method, the accuracy is improved by 2% for different data sets.
