description Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) methods usually require more training samples for better classification performance. However, a large number of labeled samples are difficult to obtain because it is cost- and time-consuming to label an HSI in a pixel-wise way. Therefore, how to overcome the problem of insufficient accuracy and stability under the condition of small labeled training sample size (SLTSS) is still a challenge for HSIC. In this paper, we proposed a novel multiple superpixel graphs learning method based on adaptive multiscale segmentation (MSGLAMS) for HSI classification to address this problem. First, the multiscale-superpixel-based framework can reduce the adverse effect of improper selection of a superpixel segmentation scale on the classification accuracy while saving the cost to manually seek a suitable segmentation scale. To make full use of the superpixel-level spatial information of different segmentation scales, a novel two-steps multiscale selection strategy is designed to adaptively select a group of complementary scales (multiscale). To fix the bias and instability of a single model, multiple superpixel-based graphical models obatined by constructing superpixel contracted graph of fusion scales are developed to jointly predict the final results via a pixel-level fusion strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed MSGLAMS has better performance when compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms. Specifically, its overall accuracy achieves 94.312%, 99.217%, 98.373% and 92.693% on Indian Pines, Salinas and University of Pavia, and the more challenging dataset Houston2013, respectively.
