A fast separability-based feature-selection method for high-dimensional remotely sensed image classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because of the difficulty of obtaining an analytic expression for Bayes error, a wide variety of separability measures has been proposed for feature selection. In this paper, we show that there is a general framework based on the criterion of mutual information (MI) that can provide a realistic solution to the problem of feature selection for high-dimensional data. We give a theoretical argument showing that the mutual information of multidimensional data can be broken down into several one-dimensional components, which makes numerical evaluation much easier and more accurate. It also reveals that selection based on the simple criterion of only retaining features with high associated MI values may be problematic when the features are highly correlated. Although there is a direct way of selecting features by jointly maximising mutual information, this suffers from combinatorial explosion. Hence, we propose a fast feature selection scheme based on a ‘greedy’ optimisation strategy. To confirm the effectiveness of this scheme, simulations are carried out on 16 land-cover classes using the 92AV3C dataset collected from the 220dimensional AVIRIS hyperspectral sensor. We replicate our earlier positive results (which used an essentially heuristic method for MI-based band-selection) but with much reduced computational cost and a much sounder theoretical basis.

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Spectral feature used in remotely sensed image classification are recorded in narrow, adjacent frequency bands in the visible to infrared spectrum. Due to narrow spacing, these features are highly correlated and provide some redundant information which may reduce classification accuracy. Hence discriminative feature selection technique is required for better classification. In this paper, we pr...

This paper summarizes the implementation and performance of Nondominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) [2] for feature selection of remotely sensed hyperspectral imagery. Two step processes have been followed. In first step, a feature subset is selected with optimum spectral and texture information content resulting in a smaller space to be searched in the next step. In the second step, a...
