Abstract

In recent times, the fusion of spatial relaxation with spectral data has achieved remarkable success in target classification methods. Spatial relaxation is a scheme which exploits the neighbourhood relationship between the pixels of an image to minimize the spatio-spectral distortion. Application of spatial relaxation with spectral data can lead to reduce the noise effect and increase the class characterization. Such methods can also be applied to estimate the posteriors of the probabilistic classifier, to increase the classifier’s final accuracy. In this paper, we have introduced an edge based feature fusion method which helps in characterizing the class labels of hyperspectral image (HSI) in a better sense. It is an iterative method which exploits the spatial information from an image in such a manner that it assumes the feature preservation in vertical and horizontal directions for each pixel. With combining subspace regression based probabilistic method, the proposed method gives better accuracy for benchmark HSI datasets. Before this, we have implemented a fast Bayesian subspace regression method to achieve the posterior probabilities, for our edge feature relaxation method. Finally, we have compared the results with some recently proposed methods, and \(\alpha \) expansion graph cut optimization method, which is an efficient technique to fuse the contextual knowledge in posterior probabilities.

We have shown the impact of EPS based method on different bands of real HSI. Graphcut (GC) optimization has performed with the help of C++ wrapper libraries provided by shai bagon. Indiana Pines, Salinas Valley, and Pavia University data is obtained from [Aviris-NASA (JPL); Gamba (Accessed: 2019-01-20)] while spectral signatures for the synthetic data set has obtained from USGS spectroscopy lab. Figure 15 shows the band-wise features obtained by using EPS method on HSI.
