description Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification plays an important role in the automatic interpretation of the remotely sensed data. However, it is a non-trivial task to classify HSI accurately and rapidly due to its characteristics of having a large amount of data and massive noise points. To address this problem, in this work, a novel, semi-supervised, superpixel-level classification method for an HSI was proposed based on a graph and discrete potential (SSC-GDP). The key idea of the proposed scheme is the construction of the weighted connectivity graph and the division of the weighted graph. Based on the superpixel segmentation, a weighted connectivity graph is constructed usingthe weighted connection between a superpixel and its spatial neighbors. The generated graph is then divided into different communities/sub-graphs by using a discrete potential and the improved semi-supervised Wu–Huberman (ISWH) algorithm. Each community in the weighted connectivity graph represents a class in the HSI. The local connection strategy, together with the linear complexity of the ISWH algorithm, ensures the fast implementation of the suggested SSC-GDP method. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed spectral–spatial method, two public benchmarks, Indian Pines and Salinas, were utilized to test the performance of our proposal. The comparative test results confirmed that the proposed method was superior to several other state-of-the-art methods.
