In this paper, superpixel features and extended multi-attribute profiles (EMAPs) are embedded in a multiple kernel learning framework to simultaneously exploit the local and multiscale information in both spatial and spectral dimensions for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. First, the original HSI is reduced to three principal components in the spectral domain using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, a fast and efficient segmentation algorithm named simple linear iterative clustering is utilized to segment the principal components into a certain number of superpixels. By setting different numbers of superpixels, a set of multiscale homogenous regional features is extracted. Based on those extracted superpixels and their first-order adjacent superpixels, EMAPs with multimodal features are extracted and embedded into the multiple kernel framework to generate different spatial and spectral kernels. Finally, a PCA-based kernel learning algorithm is used to learn an optimal kernel that contains multiscale and multimodal information. The experimental results on two well-known datasets validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method compared with several state-of-the-art HSI classifiers.
