Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Bilateral Filter With Multispatial Domain

The bilateral filter (BF) is a nonlinear filtering method, which can remove noise and retain better edge information. It has been widely used in the field of hyperspectral images (HSIs) filtering. In this letter, we propose a novel spectral-spatial information integration method based on the BF with multispatial domain (MBF). The proposed method includes three steps. First, principal component analysis (PCA) is used for the original HSI to obtain multiple components containing almost all information; second, multiple principal components are used as both spatial domain and range domain information for BF; finally, the extreme learning machine (ELM) is used for classification. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we evaluate performance on three benchmark data sets. Our method will improve the existing filtering methods by constructing multiple spatial domains for filtering, which will make more effective use of spatial features and solve the problem of lack of spatial information in HSIs. This method is compared with other filtering algorithms. Comparative experiments show that our proposed method can improve the classification accuracy. And the MBF information is more effective than the BF with single spatial domain information and other filtering methods.
