Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Fusion of Guided Filter and Domain Transform Interpolated Convolution Filter

In recent years, the spatial texture features obtained by filtering have become a hot research topic to improve hyperspectral image classification, but spatial correlation information is often lost in spatial texture information extraction. To solve this problem, a spectral-spatial classification method based on guided filtering and by the algorithm Large Margin Distribution Machine (LDM) is proposed. More specifically, the spatial texture features can be extracted by a Guided filter (GDF) from hyperspectral images whose dimensionality is reduced by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Spatial correlation features of the hyperspectral image are then obtained using a Domain Transform Interpolated Convolution Filter. The last step is to fuse spatial texture features and correlation features for classification by LDM. The experimental results using the actual hyperspectral image indicate that the proposed GDFDTICF-LDM method is superior to other classification methods, such as the original Support Vector Machine (SVM) with raw spectral features, dimensionality reduction features and spatial-spectral information, methods of edge-preserving filter and recursive filter, and LDM-based methods
