Discrete Cosine Transform-Based Joint Spectral-Spatial Information Compression and Band Correlation Calculation for Hyperspectral Feature Extraction
Ziqi Zhao, Changbao Yang, Zhongjun Qiu, Qiong Wu
Prediction tasks over pixels in hyperspectral images (HSI) require careful effort to engineer the features used for learning a classifier. However, the generated classification map may suffer from an over-smoothing problem, which is manifested in significant differences from the original image in terms of object boundaries and details. To address this over-smoothing problem, we designed a method for extracting spectral-spatial-band correlation (SSBC) features. In SSBC features, joint spectral-spatial feature extraction is considered a discrete cosine transform-based information compression, where a flattening operation is used to avoid the high computational cost induced by the requirement of distillation from 3D images for joint spectral-spatial information. However, this process can yield extracted features with lost spectral information. We argue that increasing the spectral information in the extracted features is the key to addressing the over-smoothing problem in the classification map. Consequently, the normalized difference vegetation index and iron oxide are improved for HSI data in extracting band correlation features as added spectral information, because their calculations involving two spectral bands are not appropriate for the abundant spectral bands of HSI. Experimental results on four real HSI datasets show that the proposed features can significantly mitigate the over-smoothing problem, and the classification performance is comparable to that of state-of-the-art deep features.
