Abstract:
In order to obtain high classification accuracy and reduce time consumption for large-scale polarimetric synthetic-aperture radar (PolSAR) data. In this letter, we propose a fast semisupervised classification algorithm using histogram-based density estimation (called FSHDE). First, a noniterative collaborative training using our proposed Wishart-clustering selection strategy is designed to expand the labeled sample set from unlabeled samples. Second, a fast feature mapping based on histogram density estimation is employed to reliably capture the interaction of nonlinear features. Third, submodular optimization is used to select optimal subspace features to reduce feature correlation. Experimental results on synthetic and real PolSAR data indicate that FSHDE greatly reduces the time consumption and improves the accuracy for terrain classification compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
