Dual-View Spectral and Global Spatial Feature Fusion Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification

For hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, two branch networks generally use the convolution neural networks (CNNs) to extract the spatial features and the long short-term memory (LSTM) to learn the spectral features. However, CNN with a local kernel neglects the global properties of the whole HSI. LSTM doesn’t consider the macroscopic and detailed information of spectra. In this paper, we propose a dual-view spectral and global spatial feature fusion network (DSGSF) to extract the spatial-spectral features for HSI classification, including a spatial subnetwork and a spectral subnetwork. In the spatial subnetwork, we propose a global spatial feature representation model based on the encoder-decoder structure with channel attention and spatial attention to learn the global spatial features. In the spectral subnetwork, we design a dual-view spectral feature aggregation model with view attention to learn the diversity of spectral features. By fusing the two subnetworks, we construct DSGSF to extract the spatial-spectral features of HSI with strong discriminating performance. Experimental results on three public datasets illustrate that the proposed method can achieve competitive results compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Code: https://github.com/RZWang-WH/DSGSF.
