Extreme Learning Machine with Composite Kernels for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Project summary:

In this paper, based on ELM, we perform the joint spatial–spectral classification of HSIs. The fast computation capability of ELM can reduce the time for processing the high dimensionality and high-resolution HSI data. The good generalization performance of ELM helps to increase both the spectral and spatial separability and then leads to a superior performance by joint spatial–spectral classification. We propose two ELM-based CK spatial–spectral classification methods, namely, ELM with CK (ELM-CK) and kernel-based ELM with CK (KELM-CK). In ELM-CK, the single spatial or spectral kernel is represented as the multiplication of a random hidden layer output matrix and its transposition. While in KELM-CK, the general Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel is used. The composite spatial–spectral kernel is input to the ELM learning framework, resulting in a simple and effective solution for HIS classification.
