Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification is an important part in the understanding and interpretation of SAR images. Patch-level labels are easy to achieve, and they require less expertise and lower resource consumption than pixellevel ones. Each patch has a scene category, but usually contains multiple land-cover classes or latent properties, which can be represented by topics in the probabilistic topic model (PTM). The representation and selection of discriminative features in PTM have a large impact on the classification results. Most of the existing feature learning methods do not make full use of high-level structure feature and the feature correlation within similar images to mine discriminative features. Therefore, this paper proposes a discriminative sketch topic model with structural constraint (C-SSTM) for SAR image classification. In the proposed model, each image patch is characterized by structural and texture features. In particular, the sketch structural feature is based on the sketch map to represent the image local structure pattern. Then the local image manifold information is preserved in terms of structure and texture. In the structural constraint, the texture and structure of each image patch are combined to learn discriminative latent semantic topics between image patches. The structural constraint enforces that the semantically similar features usually co-occur in similar images with a high probability. Finally, each image patch is quantified by discriminative latent semantic topics instead of lowlevel representation. The experimental results tested on synthetic and real SAR images demonstrate that the proposed C-SSTM is able to learn effective structural feature representation from SAR images. Compared with other related approaches, C-SSTM produces competitive classification accuracies with high time efficiency.

“…Deep learning has a good application in the field of image denoising algorithms. For example, the supervised deep learning method based on deep belief network (DBN) was used to detect changes in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images [13], a neural network with hybrid algorithm of CNN and multilayer perceptron (CNN-MLP) was suggested for image classification [14], and so on. In addition, image segmentation is the key step from image processing to image analysis.…”

The Mahalanobis–Taguchi system (MTS) is a multivariate data diagnosis and prediction technology, which is widely used to optimize large sample data or unbalanced data, but it is rarely used for high-dimensional small sample data. In this paper, the optimized MTS for the classification of high-dimensional small sample data is discussed from two aspects, namely, the inverse matrix instability of the covariance matrix and the instability of feature selection. Firstly, based on regularization and smoothing techniques, this paper proposes a modified Mahalanobis metric to calculate the Mahalanobis distance, which is aimed at reducing the influence of the inverse matrix instability under small sample conditions. Secondly, the minimum redundancy-maximum relevance (mRMR) algorithm is introduced into the MTS for the instability problem of feature selection. By using the mRMR algorithm and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a two-stage feature selection method is proposed: the mRMR algorithm is first used to remove noise and redundant variables; the orthogonal table and SNR are then used to screen the combination of variables that make great contribution to classification. Then, the feasibility and simplicity of the optimized MTS are shown in five datasets from the UCI database. The Mahalanobis distance based on regularization and smoothing techniques (RS-MD) is more robust than the traditional Mahalanobis distance. The two-stage feature selection method improves the effectiveness of feature selection for MTS. Finally, the optimized MTS is applied to email classification of the Spambase dataset. The results show that the optimized MTS outperforms the classical MTS and the other 3 machine learning algorithms.
