Improved Fusion of Spatial Information into Hyperspectral Classification through the Aggregation of Constrained Segment Trees: Segment Forest
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- The spatial information of the HSI image was used to construct the segment forest, and the spectral information of the HSI image was combined to improve the classification accuracy and calculation efficiency;
- Based on the segment tree method, the merging and filtering of trees are improved. The reason for accuracy improvement is discussed from the perspective of spatial information;
- The existing spatial–spectral methods are comprehensively summarized and validated on three data sets, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to other HSI classification methods. The characteristics and problems of spatial–spectral classification are discussed based on classification results.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Materials
- Salinas. The Salinas hyperspectral data were collected by NASA’s AVIRIS sensor in California’s Salinas Valley, one of the most fertile agricultural regions in the United States. The data consist of 224 bands with 512 × 217 and a spatial resolution of 3.7 m. The corresponding truth value images include 16 categories, including Fallow, Celery and Grapes_untrained, etc. In the training set, 30 points of each type were selected from the labeled data for training, and the test set was the labeled data in the panoramic image.
- WHU-Hi-HongHu. The data set was collected on 20 November 2017, in HongHu City, Hubei Province, using a 17 mm focal headwall nanoscale super-resolution imaging sensor on the DJI Matrix 600 Pro UAV platform. The image size is 940 × 475 pixels, with a total of 270 bands, and the spatial resolution is about 0.043 m. The experimental area is a complex agricultural landscape with various crops, including Cabbage, Rape, Celtuce, Broad Bean, tree, and 22 types. The training set selects 100 points from each category of labeled data for training and the test set is the labeled data in the panoramic image.
- XiongAn. XiongAn hyperspectral data developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, high particular aviation system full spectrum section of the multimodal imaging spectrometer, the main gathering area, male Ann, for China’s Hebei province under the jurisdiction of the national district, located in the hinterland of Beijing, Tianjin, and Baoding. There are 256 bands of data, the image size is 3750 × 1580, and the spatial resolution is 0.5 m. The true value of the corresponding image includes Willow, Rice, White wax, rice stubble, Bare area, Pear, Architecture, and a total of 20 kinds of feature classes. Labels are mainly composed of the land for agriculture and forestry. The training set selects 100 points from each category of labeled data for training, and the test set is the labeled data in the panoramic image.
2.2. Methods
- Obtain the initial classification results. Part of the labeled data was extracted as training data and input into SVM to obtain the probability value of initial classification.
- Obtain the first principal component of the original hyperspectral image. In order to improve the efficiency of the algorithm, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to project the original image hyperspectral data onto a new orthogonal space and extract the first main component.
- According to the weights of the edges in the tree structure, the vertices are combined to construct a segment forest. The vertices are combined by calculating the weights of edges in the first principal component of the image. In order to prevent all vertices from merging into a single tree, the subtree is merged if the edge weight is less than a certain value. Finally, to prevent noise from affecting the subsequent result, subtrees with less than a fixed number of vertices in the tree are merged into the tree with the lowest weight.
- Calculate the aggregation probability of vertices in the tree and determine the classification of each vertex. To carry out the filtering inside the independent tree of forest segmentation, not only to calculate the aggregation probability of each vertex, but also to complete the filtering from leaf to root and root to leaf and obtain the final classification result. Figure 2 shows the technical roadmap.
