| Abstract: | In the area of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) has been proved to be highly effective. Constructing a proper graph is critical for graph-based SSL tasks. In HSI, spectral distance is widely used to calculate the weight of graph edge, though it can be influenced by noise and outliers. Meanwhile, links among all the data points are incorporated in the graph, including those from different subspaces. Thus the constructed graph might contain incorrect information. In this letter, a novel semi-supervised HSI classification method using local low-rank representation (SL2R) is proposed. Edge weight calculation will not be affected by noise or outliers thanks to the robustness of low-rank representation (LRR). Since each graph is constructed at local level, where pixels are basically embedded in the same subspace, links among uncorrelated pixels can be removed. Moreover, spatial context is naturally characterized by low-rank constraint on adjacent pixels. Experimental results on two data sets (Indian Pines and Botswana) confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
