Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data are widely used for high-resolution land cover mapping, which can provide very valuable information about the height of the surveyed area for the discrimination of classes. In order to utilize the advantages of deep models for the classification of LiDAR-derived features, a new classification algorithm combined Octave Convolution (OctConv) with Capsule Network (CapsNet), is proposed here to hierarchically extract robust and discriminant features of the input data, called as OctConv-CapsNet. In the proposed approach, CapsNet captures the spatial information of the data, and OctConv processes separately for high- and low-frequency feature. OctConv is embedded in the primary capsule layer of CapsNet so that the proposed approach can make the most of both the spatial information and the high- and low-frequency information simultaneously. The proposed framework performs experiments on two LiDAR-DSM datasets (i.e. Bayview Park and Recology datasets). The results show that, compared with the traditional deep convolution model, OctConv-CapsNet can improve the classification accuracy of LiDAR-DSM data, and when the number of training samples of the experiment is 800, the classification accuracies reached 96.12% and 96.79% on Bayview Park and Recology datasets, respectively. |
