Abstract
Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has always been recognised as a difficult task. It is therefore a research hotspot in remote sensing image processing and analysis, and a number of studies have been conducted to better extract spectral and spatial features. This study aimed to track the variation of the spectrum in hyperspectral images from a sequential data perspective to obtain more distinguishable features. Based on the characteristics of optical flow, this study introduces an optical flow technique for the extraction of spectral flow that denotes the spectral variation and implements a dense optical flow extraction method based on deep matching. Lastly, the extracted spectral flow are combined with the original spectral features and input into a commonly used support vector machine (SVM) classifier to complete the classification. Extensive classification experiments on three benchmark HSI test sets show that the classification accuracy obtained by the spectral flow extracted in this study (SpectralFlow) is higher than traditional spatial feature extraction methods, texture feature extraction methods, and the latest deep-learning-based methods. Furthermore, the proposed method can produce finer classification thematic maps, thereby demonstrating strong practical application potential.
