Abstract
Integration of spatial and spectral information is an effective way in improving classification accuracy. In this article a new framework, based on multi-scale spatial weighted mean filtering (MSWMF) and minimum spanning forest, is proposed for the spectral–spatial classification of hyperspectral images. In the proposed framework, at first the image is smoothed by MSWMF and then the first eight principal components are extracted. Using support vector machine, at each scale of MSWMF, a classification map is produced in order to generate a marker map in the next step. Then, the minimum spanning forest is built on the marker map. Finally, in order to create a final classification map, all the classification maps of each scale are merged with a majority vote rule. The experimental results of the hyper-spectral images indicate that the suggested framework enhances the classification accuracy, in comparison with previously classification techniques. So, it is interesting for hyperspectral images classification.
