Abstract:
With the development of the imaging technology of various sensors, multisource image classification has become a key challenge in the field of image interpretation. In this article, a novel classification method, called the deep multiview union learning network (DMULN), is proposed to classify multisensor data. First, an associated feature extractor is designed to process the multisource data by canonical correlation analysis (CCA) in the head of the network. Second, an improved deep learning architecture with two branches is presented to extract high-level view features from the associated features. Third, a novel pooling, called view union pooling, is proposed to fuse the multiview feature from the deep model. Finally, the fused feature is fed into the classifier. The proposed framework is easy to optimize since it is an end-to-end network. Extensive experiments and analysis on the datasets IEEE\_{}grss\_{}dfc\_{}2017 and IEEE\_{}grss\_{}dfc\_{}2018 show that the proposed method achieves comparable results. Our results demonstrate that abundant multisource information can improve the classification performance.
