Dynamic Ensemble Learning with Multi-View Kernel Collaborative Subspace Clustering for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Abstract

Recently, a series of collaborative representation (CR) methods have attracted much attention for hyperspectral images classification. In this article, two CR-based dynamic ensemble selection (DES) methods using multiview kernel collaborative subspace clustering (MVKCSC) and random subspace MVKCSC (RSMVKCSC) are proposed. In order to combine spectral and spatial information to construct a region of competence (RoC), the multiview learning strategy is used in the general DES method. Compared with traditional clustering methods, the MVC can more effectively utilize multifeature information. Moreover, a new method of constructing the Laplacian matrix using kernel CR coefficients is proposed for clustering based on subspace clustering and CR theory. This method is called MVKCSC, which can obtain the clustering results by using kernel CR self-representation coefficients. In addition, to increase the diversity of samples, the random subspace method (RSM) and MVKCSC are combined for RMVKCSC. Moreover, the algorithm can obtain better clustering results by constraining samples and features simultaneously. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated using three hyperspectral data sets with few samples. The experimental results show that both DES-MVKCSC and DES-RSMVKCSC outperform their single classifier counterparts. In particular, the proposed methods provide superior performance compared with the state-of-the-art DES methods.
