Stacked autoencoder (SAE) provides excellent performance for image processing under sufficient training samples. However, the collection of training samples is difficult in hyperspectral images. Insufficient training samples easily make SAE overfit and limit the application of SAE to hypersepctral images. To address this problem, a novel marginal SAE with adaptively-spatial regularization (ARMSAE) is proposed for hyperspectral image classification. First, a superpixel segmentation method is used to divide the image into many homogenous regions. Then, at the pretraining stage, an adaptively-shaped spatial regularization is introduced to extract contextual information of samples in the homogenous regions. It sufficiently utilizes unlabeled adjacent samples to alleviate the lack of training samples. At the fine-tuning stage, the marginal samples based On geometrical property are selected to tune the ARMSAE network. The fine-tuning exploits margin strategy to alleviate the inaccurate statistical estimation caused by insufficient training samples. Finally, the label of each test sample is determined by all the samples locating in the same homogenous region. Experimental results on hyperspectral images demonstrate the proposed method provides encouraging classification performance compared with several related state-of-the-art methods.
