Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the margin theory is widely used for the hyperspectral classification. However, the margin model is a single interval and does not represent the complete distribution of hyperspectral image data sets. In addition, the spatial texture information obtained by filtering in recent years has become a hot research topic for improving classification of hyperspectral images, but the spatial correlation information is often lost in the spatial texture information extraction. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an algorithm with large margin distribution machine (LDM) that combined the spatial information obtained by the bilateral filter and linear spatial correlation information (BFLSCI-LDM). First, spatial features were extracted by bilateral filter from hyperspectral image whose dimensionality was reduced by principal component analysis. Next, the linear spatial correlation information was constructed for hyperspectral images. Finally, the spatial information and original spectral information were combined for LDM. The experimental results of actual hyperspectral images indicated that the proposed BFLSCI-LDM method was superior to other classification methods, including the original SVM with the raw spectral features, the dimensionality reduction features, and spatial-spectral information, the method of edge-preserving filter and recursive filter, and the LDM-based method.

Hyperspectral image feature extraction generally does not consider the optimisation of structure element types, resulting in the loss of spatial correlation information. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a novel adaptive classification method (MPDTNC-SVM), in which spatial information is extracted by Morphological Profile Filter (MPF) and Domain Transform Normalised Convolution Filter (DTNCF). First, MPF extracts the spatial features on multiple principal component analysis (PCA) components of the hyperspectral image, and DTNCF works over all spectral bands to extract spatially correlated features. The two spatial features are then combined and fed into Support Vector Machine (SVM). Second, a two-step optimisation is implemented in the classification process. Specifically, the best structure of MPF is chosen for classification. Next, the optimal parameters of the structural elements are obtained through iterative classification optimisation, with the best classification performance produced in the process. Experimental results of actual hyperspectral images show that the proposed MPF and DTNCF with SVM (MPDTNC-SVM) method is superior to other classification methods, including Edge-Preserving Filter and Recursive Filter method, morphological feature-based methods, and the SVM methods with raw spectral features, reduced-dimensional and spatial-spectral information.
