Hyper Spectral Spatial Image Segmentation Using Machine Learning Algorithms

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the development of methods dedicated to classifying hyper spectral image samples. However, the inherent high dimensionality of hyper spectral data presents significant challenges for traditional supervised classification algorithms. Prior studies have attempted to address these challenges by incorporating active learning methods for hyper spectral data segmentation. Nevertheless, a crucial drawback of active learning lies in its dependence on labeled data samples, leading to less improved classification results for unlabeled data samples. In response to this limitation, our work introduces Supervised Active Learning (SAL) techniques that harness both spectral and spatial information. The key innovation of our research lies in the introduction of a novel hyper spectral image segmentation approach based on the k-dependence Bayesian (KDB) model. We estimate the maximizer of the posterior marginal using Symmetric Iterative Proportional Fitting (SIPF) within this KDB model. By implementing the KDB model for hyper spectral image segmentation, our goal is to enhance the classification accuracy of our SAL classifiers. The SAL framework integrates shape prior probability estimation, class density results from Improved Multi-Level Logistic (IMLL) methods, and the maximization of the posterior marginal estimated through Symmetric Iterative Proportional Fitting (SIPF). We evaluate the accuracy of our proposed MPM-SIPF-SAL system using the real ROSIS Hyper Spectral Dataset, demonstrating that our system outperforms existing methods in terms of classification accuracy.
