Abstract
Hyperspectral image classification has been an active topic of research in recent years. In the past, many different types of features have been extracted (using both linear and nonlinear strategies) for classification problems. On the one hand, some approaches have exploited the original spectral information or other features linearly derived from such information in order to have classes which are linearly separable. On the other hand, other techniques have exploited features obtained through nonlinear transformations intended to reduce data dimensionality, to better model the inherent nonlinearity of the original data (e.g., kernels) or to adequately exploit the spatial information contained in the scene (e.g., using morphological analysis). Special attention has been given to techniques able to exploit a single kind of features, such as composite kernel learning or multiple kernel learning, developed in order to deal with multiple kernels. However, few approaches have been designed to integrate multiple types of features extracted from both linear and nonlinear transformations. In this paper, we develop a new framework for the classification of hyperspectral scenes that pursues the combination of multiple features. The ultimate goal of the proposed framework is to be able to cope with linear and nonlinear class boundaries present in the data, thus following the two main mixing models considered for hyperspectral data interpretation. An important characteristic of the presented approach is that it does not require any regularization parameters to control the weights of considered features so that different types of features can be efficiently exploited and integrated in a collaborative and flexible way. Our experimental results, conducted using a variety of input features and hyperspectral scenes, indicate that the proposed framework for multiple feature learning provides state-of-the-art classification results without significantly increasing computational complexity.Keywords
