Abstract

As a powerful tool in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, sparse representation has gained much attention in recent years owing to its detailed representation of features. In particular, the results of the joint use of spatial and spectral information has been widely applied to HSI classification. However, dealing with the spatial relationship between pixels is a nontrivial task. This paper proposes a new spatial-spectral combined classification method that considers the boundaries of adjacent features in the HSI. Based on the proposed method, a smoothing-constraint Laplacian vector is constructed, which consists of the interest pixel and its four nearest neighbors through their weighting factor. Then, a novel large-block sparse dictionary is developed for simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit. Our proposed method can obtain a better accuracy of HSI classification on three real HSI datasets than the existing spectral-spatial HSI classifiers. Finally, the experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
