Supervised and Unsupervised Clustering Based Dimensionality Reduction of Hyperspectral Data

Nowadays, hyperspectral images (his) are widely used for land cover land use (lclu) mapping. hyperspectral sensors collect spectral data in numerous adjacent spectral bands, which are usually redundant. hyperspectral data processing comes with important challenges such as huge processing time, difficulties in transfer, and storage. in this study, two supervised and unsupervised dimensionality reduction methods are proposed for hyperspectral feature extraction based on the band clustering technique. in the first method, the unsupervised method, after the unsupervised band clustering stage with some statistical attributes, the principal component transform is used in each cluster, and the first pc component is considered an extracted feature. in the second method, the supervised method, bands are clustered based on training samples mean vectors of each class, and the weighted mean operator is used for feature extraction in each cluster. the experiment is conducted on the classification of real famous hi named indian pines. comparing the obtained results and some other state of art methods proved the proposed method's efficiency
