Abstract
Deep belief networks (DBNs) have been widely applied in hyperspectral imagery (HSI) processing. However, the original DBN model fails to explore the prior knowledge of training samples which limits the discriminant capability of extracted features for classification. In this paper, we proposed a new deep learning method, termed manifold-based multi-DBN (MMDBN), to obtain deep manifold features of HSI. MMDBN designed a hierarchical initialization method that initializes the network by local geometric structure hidden in data. On this basis, a multi-DBN structure is built to learn deep features in each land-cover class, and it was used as the front-end of the whole model. Then, a discrimination manifold layer is developed to improve the discriminability of extracted deep features. To discover the manifold structure contained in HSI, an intrinsic graph and a penalty graph are constructed in this layer by using label information of training samples. After that, the deep manifold features can be obtained for classification. MMDBN not only effectively extracts the deep features from each class in HSI, but also maximizes the margins between different manifolds in low-dimensional embedding space. Experimental results on Indian Pines, Salinas, and Botswana datasets reach 78.25%, 90.48%, and 97.35% indicating that MMDBN possesses better classification performance by comparing with some state-of-the-art methods.
