DLPNet: A deep manifold network for feature extraction of hyperspectral imagery

Deep learning has received increasing attention in recent years and it has been successfully applied for feature extraction (FE) of hyperspectral images. However, most deep learning methods fail to explore the manifold structure in hyperspectral image (HSI). To tackle this issue, a novel graph-based deep learning model, termed deep locality preserving neural network (DLPNet), was proposed in this paper. Traditional deep learning methods use random initialization to initialize network parameters. Different from that, DLPNet initializes each layer of the network by exploring the manifold structure in hyperspectral data. In the stage of network optimization, it designed a deep-manifold learning joint loss function to exploit graph embedding process while measuring the difference between the predictive value and the actual value, then the proposed model can take into account the extraction of deep features and explore the manifold structure of data simultaneously. Experimental results on real-world HSI datasets indicate that the proposed DLPNet performs significantly better than some state-of-the-art methods.
