Superpixel-Based Singular Spectrum Analysis for Effective Spatial-Spectral Feature Extraction

In the processing of remotely sensed data, classification may be preceded by feature extraction, which helps in making the most informative parts of the data emerge. Effective feature extraction may boost the efficiency and accuracy of the following classification, and hence various methods have bee...

Superpixel-Based Singular Spectrum Analysis for Effective Spatial-Spectral Feature Extraction
description In the processing of remotely sensed data, classification may be preceded by feature extraction, which helps in making the most informative parts of the data emerge. Effective feature extraction may boost the efficiency and accuracy of the following classification, and hence various methods have been proposed to perform it. Recently, Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and its 2-D variation (2D-SSA) have emerged as popular, cutting-edge technologies for effective feature extraction in Hyperspectral Images (HSI). Using 2D-SSA, each band image of an HSI is initially decomposed into various components, and then the image is reconstructed using the most significant eigen-tuples relative to their eigen-values, which represent strong spatial features for the classification task. However, instead of performing reconstruction on the whole image, it may be more effective to apply reconstruction to object-specific spatial regions, which is the proposed objective of this research. As an HSI may cover a large area, multiple objects are generally present within a single scene. Hence, spatial information can be highlighted accurately by specializing the reconstruction based on the local context. The local context may be defined by the so-called superpixels, i.e., finite sets of pixels that constitute a homogeneous set. Each superpixel may undergo tailored reconstruction, with a process expected to perform better than non-spatially-adaptive approaches.
