description With deep learning-based methods growing (even with scarce data in some fields), few-shot remote sensing scene classification (FSRSSC) has received a lot of attention. One mainstream approach uses base data to train a feature extractor (FE) in the pre-training phase and employs novel data to design the classifier and complete the classification task in the meta-test phase. Due to the scarcity of remote sensing data, obtaining a suitable feature extractor for remote sensing data and designing a robust classifier have become two major challenges. In this paper, we propose a novel dictionary learning (DL) algorithm for few-shot remote sensing scene classification to address these two difficulties. First, we use natural image datasets with sufficient data to obtain a pre-trained feature extractor. We fine-tune the parameters with the remote sensing dataset to make the feature extractor suitable for remote sensing data. Second, we design the kernel space classifier to map the features to a high-dimensional space and embed the label information into the dictionary learning to improve the discrimination of features for classification. Extensive experiments on four popular remote sensing scene classification datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed dictionary learning method.
