Integration of Segmentation Techniques for Classification of Hyperspectral Images

A new spectral–spatial method for classification of hyperspectral images is introduced. The proposed approach is based on two segmentation methods, fractional-order Darwinian particle swarm optimization and mean shift segmentation. The output of these two methods is classified by support vector machines. Experimental results indicate that the integration of the two segmentation methods can overcome the drawbacks of each other and increase the overall accuracy in classification.
