Spectral–Spatial Hyperspectral Image Segmentation Using Subspace Multinomial Logistic Regression and Markov Random Fields

This paper introduces a new supervised segmentation algorithm for remotely sensed hyperspectral image data which integrates the spectral and spatial information in a Bayesian framework. A multinomial logistic regression (MLR) algorithm is first used to learn the posterior probability distributions from the spectral information, using a subspace projection method to better characterize noise and highly mixed pixels. Then, contextual information is included using a multilevel logistic Markov-Gibbs Markov random field prior. Finally, a maximum a posteriori segmentation is efficiently computed by the min-cut-based integer optimization algorithm. The proposed segmentation approach is experimentally evaluated using…
