CLASSIFICATION OF HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES WITH HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION

Igor Pestunov, Sergey Rylov, Pavel Melnikov

Abstract


А new computationally efficient spectral-texture classification method for high spatial resolution hyperspectral images is proposed. This method is based on the ensemble clustering algorithm ECCA. Classification method is based on the assumption that the percentage of pixels from different clusters in local image regions is approximately the same for the fixed texture type and differs for different types of textures. The proposed classification method does not require large amount of training samples. It is enough to set only few representatives of each class. Experiments on models and real-world data are described proving the effectiveness of the proposed method.
