Hyperspectral Band Selection with Unique Pixel Extraction and Adaptive Neighbor Clustering

Band selection is an effective way to reduce redundant information, while preserving the physical properties of hyperspectral images (HSI). However, most band selection methods merely consider the relevance and separability between pairs of bands and ignore those for different ground objects. To sol...

description Band selection is an effective way to reduce redundant information, while preserving the physical properties of hyperspectral images (HSI). However, most band selection methods merely consider the relevance and separability between pairs of bands and ignore those for different ground objects. To solve these issues, we propose a Unique Pixel extraction and Adaptive Neighbor Clustering (UPANC) band selection method in this theoretical study. First, in consideration of the characteristics of HSI data and tasks, unique pixels are obtained with a low-rank representation, where the importance of bands is analyzed from both spectral and spatial perspectives. Second, an adaptive neighbor clustering method is designed based on the unique pixels, which groups bands into several clusters through optimizing the graph structure under label smoothness. With support vector machines (SVM) as the classifier, the UPANC method achieved good performance, where the overall accuracy scores were 89.05%, 82.62%, and 92.07% on the Houston, IndianPines, and Pavia University datasets, respectively. The experimental results illustrated the advantages of the UPANC method, which could select optimal bands to enhance the performance in land cover observation.
