Recently, graph convolutional network (GCN) has achieved promising results in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, GCN is a transductive learning method, which is difficult to aggregate the new node. Besides, the existing GCN-based methods divide graph construction and graph classifica...

description Recently, graph convolutional network (GCN) has achieved promising results in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, GCN is a transductive learning method, which is difficult to aggregate the new node. Besides, the existing GCN-based methods divide graph construction and graph classification into two stages ignoring the influence of constructed graph error on classification results. Moreover, the available GCN-based methods fail to understand the global and contextual information of the graph. In this article, we propose a novel multiscale graph sample and aggregate network with a context-aware learning method for HSI classification. The proposed network adopts a multiscale graph sample and aggregate network (graphSAGE) to learn the multiscale features from the local regions graph, which improves the diversity of network input information and effectively solves the impact of original input graph errors on classification. By employing a context-aware mechanism to characterize the importance among spatially neighboring regions, deep contextual and global information of the graph can be learned automatically by focusing on important spatial targets. Meanwhile, the graph structure is reconstructed automatically based on the classified objects as network training, which is able to effectively reduce the influence of the initial graph error on the classification result. Extensive experiments are conducted on three real HSI datasets, which are demonstrated to outperform the compared state-of-the-art methods.
