Hyperspectral image classification has received a lot of attention in the remote sensing field. However, most classification methods require a large number of training samples to obtain satisfactory performance. In real applications, it is difficult for users to label sufficient samples. To overcome this problem, in this work, a novel multi-scale superpixel-guided structural profile method is proposed for the classification of hyperspectral images. First, the spectral number (of the original image) is reduced with an averaging fusion method. Then, multi-scale structural profiles are extracted with the help of the superpixel segmentation method. Finally, the extracted multi-scale structural profiles are fused with an unsupervised feature selection method followed by a spectral classifier to obtain classification results. Experiments on several hyperspectral datasets verify that the proposed method can produce outstanding classification effects in the case of limited samples compared to other advanced classification methods. The classification accuracies obtained by the proposed method on the Salinas dataset are increased by 43.25%, 31.34%, and 46.82% in terms of overall accuracy (OA), average accuracy (AA), and Kappa coefficient compared to recently proposed deep learning methods.

In this paper, a novel method is introduced to detect and correct mislabeled training samples for hyperspectral image classification. First, domain transform recursive filtering-based feature extraction is used to improve the separability of the training samples. Then, constrained energy minimization-based object detection is performed on the training set with each training sample serving as the object spectrum. Finally, the label of each training sample is verified or corrected based on the averaged detection probabilities of different classes. Experiments performed on real hyperspectral data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving classification performance with respect to the classifier trained with the original training set that contains a number of mislabeled samples.

Image decolorization is known to be an effective way in transferring a color image into a gray one while well preserving the major information of all three bands. In this paper, a simple yet effective hyperspectral image visualization framework based on decolorization, named decolorization based hyperspectral visualization, is proposed, which enables us to fully exploit the benefits of decolorization technique. The proposed framework consists of the following two main steps. First, the hyperspectral image is partitioned into nine subsets of adjacent hyperspectral bands and the averaged band of each subset is calculated. Then, the dimension reduced image is further divided into three groups of adjacent bands, and the bands in each group are fused by using an image decolorization method. The main contribution of this paper is that the strong correlations in two different fields, i.e., image decolorization and hyperspectral image visualization, are first built. Experiments performed on several real hyperspectral data sets demonstrate that the proposed framework can obtain outstanding visualization performance in terms of both subjective and objective evaluations.
