Abstract:

A class-probability distance based semi-supervised learning method is proposed for hyperspectral remote sensing image classification. In the method, Sparse Representation based Classification (SRC) is adopted for estimating the class-probability of unlabeled sample. Then a distance metric that describes the data similarity is developed based on the estimated class-probability. With this new distance metric, the distance between samples of different classes is enlarged effectively, and the neighbors of each sample can contain more samples belonging to the same class. Finally, this distance metric is applied to Linear Neighborhood Propagation and Label Propagation algorithms. Experimental results using Hyperion and AVIRIS hyperspectral remote sensing images show that the approach outperforms the existing semi-supervised learning methods in terms of classification accuracy.

Key words: hyperspectral remote sensing image classification, graph, semi-supervised learning, sparse representation, class-probability distance
