description The accurate and timely monitoring of land cover types is of great significance for the scientific planning, rational utilization, effective protection and management of land resources. In recent years, land cover classification based on hyperspectral images and the collaborative representation (CR) model has become a hot topic in the field of remote sensing. However, most of the existing CR models do not consider the problem of sample imbalance, which affects the classification performance of CR models. In addition, the Tikhonov regularization term can improve the classification performance of CR models, but greatly increases the computational complexity of CR models. To address the above problems, a local nearest neighbor (LNN) method is proposed in this paper to select the same number of nearest neighbor samples from each nearest class of the test sample to construct a dictionary. This is then introduced into the original collaborative representation classification (CRC) method and CRC with Tikhonov regularization (CRT) for land cover classification, denoted as LNNCRC and LNNCRT, respectively. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed LNNCRC and LNNCRT methods, the classification performance and running time of the proposed methods are compared with those of six popular CR models on a hyperspectral scene with nine land cover types. The experimental results show that the proposed LNNCRT method achieves the best land cover classification performance, and the proposed LNNCRC and LNNCRT methods not only further exclude the interference of irrelevant training samples and classes, but also effectively eliminate the influence of imbalanced training samples, so as to improve the classification performance of CR models and effectively reduce the computational complexity of CR models.
