Hyperspectral Image Classification via a Novel Spectral–Spatial 3D ConvLSTM-CNN
description In recent years, deep learning-based models have produced encouraging results for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. Specifically, Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) has shown good performance for learning valuable features and modeling long-term dependencies in spectral data. However, it is less effective for learning spatial features, which is an integral part of hyperspectral images. Alternatively, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can learn spatial features, but they possess limitations in handling long-term dependencies due to the local feature extraction in these networks. Considering these factors, this paper proposes an end-to-end Spectral-Spatial 3D ConvLSTM-CNN based Residual Network (SSCRN), which combines 3D ConvLSTM and 3D CNN for handling both spectral and spatial information, respectively. The contribution of the proposed network is twofold.
