Description:
This letter presents a band selection method relying on saliency bands and scale selection (SBSS). The SBSS method is used to excavate the hidden information of hyperspectral images effectively, while its underlying assumptions are: 1) it is reasonable to combine spectral and spatial information to excavate the intrinsic property of a hyperspectral image; 2) there are some saliency bands that can represent a hyperspectral image without significant information loss in data exploitation; and 3) saliency, scale, and image description have an intrinsic connection. The computational complexity of the SBSS method is linear, and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method obtains competitively good results compared with other state-of-the-art band selection techniques, in terms of classification accuracy.
