description This paper presents a composite kernel method (MWASCK) based on multiscale weighted adjacent superpixels (ASs) to classify hyperspectral image (HSI). The MWASCK adequately exploits spatial-spectral features of weighted adjacent superpixels to guarantee that more accurate spectral features can be extracted. Firstly, we use a superpixel segmentation algorithm to divide HSI into multiple superpixels. Secondly, the similarities between each target superpixel and its ASs are calculated to construct the spatial features. Finally, a weighted AS-based composite kernel (WASCK) method for HSI classification is proposed. In order to avoid seeking for the optimal superpixel scale and fuse the multiscale spatial features, the MWASCK method uses multiscale weighted superpixel neighbor information. Experiments from two real HSIs indicate that superior performance of the WASCK and MWASCK methods compared with some popular classification methods.
