Abstract

With the widely application of high-resolution remote sensing images, its classification has attracted a lot of attention. Most classification methods focus on various combination of features and ignore the similarities between different categories. In this paper we present a modification by combining ScSPM [1] with a dictionary learning method DL-COPAR [2], which separates the particularity and commonality atoms of class-specific sub-dictionaries. With this over-complete dictionary, the sparse representation of a query image can be specified to capture salient and unique properties. Experimental results on two remote sensing datasets show that, this modification achieves state-of-the-art classification accuracy, when merely SIFT feature is applied.
