Abstract

En 中文

Aiming at improving the classification accuracy with limited numbers of labeled pixels in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification task, this paper presents a graph-based semisupervised deep learning model for PolSAR image classification. It models the PoISAR image as an undirected graph, where the nodes correspond to the labeled and unlabeled pixels, and the weighted edges represent similarities between the pixels. Upon the graph, we design an energy function incorporating a semisupervision term, a convolutional neural network (CNN) term, and a pairwise smoothness term. The employed CNN extracts abstract and data-driven polarimetric features and outputs class label predictions to the graph model. The semisupervision term enforces the category label constraints on the human-labeled pixels. The pairwise smoothness term encourages class label smoothness and the alignment of class label boundaries with the image edges. Starting from an initialized class label map generated based on K-Wishart distribution hypothesis or superpixel segmentation of PauliRGB images, we iteratively and alternately optimize the defined energy function until it converges. We conducted experiments on two real benchmark PolSAR images, and extensive experiments demonstrated that our approach achieved the state-of-the-art results for PolSAR image classification.
