Popis: The distribution of tree species within the forest holds significant importance for forest management. Since field surveys in the forest are time-consuming and cost-expensive, automatically extracting tree species distribution maps from remote sensing imagery becomes a trend. For tree species classification using hyperspectral imagery, many existing classification methods require a large number of training samples to achieve high classification accuracy. However, the classification accuracy will decrease rapidly if only a few hundred training samples are used. Given the challenges and expenses associated with collecting abundant training samples in the forest, there is a need to explore methods that achieve good classification performance with a limited number of training samples. In this paper, a classification scheme combining SuperPCA and Active Learning (AL) is proposed to improve the tree species classification using a limited number of training samples. SuperPCA is employed to reduce feature dimensions and harness spectral-spatial information within hyperspectral imagery. Active Learning is employed to select informative samples for the training, thus reducing the requirement for training samples. Experiments on a tree species classification data set demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed classification scheme.
