Abstract

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a very important topic in remote sensing. There are many published methods for HSI classification in the literature. Nevertheless, it is not clear which method is the most robust to noise in HSI data cubes. In this paper, we conduct a systematic study to examine the effects of noise in HSI data cubes on classification methods. We compare ten existing methods for HSI classification when Gaussian white noise (GWN) and shot noise are present in the HSI data cubes. We have figured out which method is the most robust to GWN and shot noise respectively by experimenting on three widely used HSI data cubes. We have also measured the CPU computational time of every method compared in this paper for HSI classification.
