Decision Learning Correction Network for HSI and LiDAR Fusion Classification
-
摘要: 高光谱图像与LiDAR在光谱表征和空间结构刻画方面具有天然互补性,其有效融合被认为是提升遥感地物分类性能的重要途径。然而,现有方法多将融合过程建模为固定映射下的一次性静态聚合,隐含地假设同一融合策略能够适用于不同区域,因而难以应对遥感影像中普遍存在的空间异质性和样本复杂性。为此,本文提出一种决策-学习-修正网络,将传统静态融合重构为面向局部上下文的序列决策过程使模型能够在连续交互中学习上下文依赖的自适应融合策略。针对关键样本易被忽视的问题,构建关键样本导向采样模块,依据样本决策困难度提高复杂区域样本的训练参与度。针对融合动作可能破坏模态特性的问题,设计模态保真约束机制,对不合理动作进行修正,以保证融合特征质量。实验结果表明,所提方法在Houston2013、Trento和MUUFL三个基准数据集上的总体精度分别提升0.82%、0.38%和1.76%,验证了该方法在复杂场景下的有效性与优越性。Abstract:
Objective Hyperspectral images(HSI) and LiDAR data provide complementary information for land-cover classification. HSI contains rich spectral responses for material discrimination, while LiDAR supplies elevation and structural information for spatial perception. However, most existing fusion methods treat multimodal fusion as a static aggregation process, assuming that a fixed fusion rule is suitable for all pixels and regions. This assumption is difficult to satisfy in complex remote sensing scenes, where class boundaries and cross-modal heterogeneous regions show higher information density but occupy only a small proportion of samples ( Fig.1 ). To address this problem, this paper proposes a Decision Learning Correction Network (DLCN), which transforms static HSI-LiDAR fusion into a context-dependent sequential decision-making process.Methods The proposed DLCN consists of feature extraction, fusion decision learning, and final classification. First, HSI and LiDAR are processed by two parallel branches to extract spectral-spatial features and elevation-structural features, respectively. Then, the extracted features are concatenated as the current fusion state and input into an Actor-Critic framework. The Actor network generates fusion actions to dynamically adjust modal contributions, while the Critic network evaluates the long-term value of each action for final classification. To improve the learning of difficult samples, a key-sample-oriented sampling module assigns higher sampling probabilities to samples with larger modal fidelity losses. Meanwhile, a modal fidelity constraint mechanism evaluates spectral fidelity, feature consistency, structural preservation, and resolution matching, and corrects destructive actions during fusion. Through this closed-loop structure, DLCN realizes dynamic fusion action generation, evaluation, and correction ( Fig. 2 ).Results and Discussions Experiments are conducted on Houston2013, Trento, and MUUFL datasets. DLCN achieves the best OA values of 97.85%, 99.58%, and 94.38% on the three datasets, respectively, outperforming CHNet, DSymFuser, mPMCL, MEDFN, S3F2Net, and MSAF. The classification maps show that DLCN effectively reduces misclassification in class-boundary, mixed land-cover, and structurally complex regions, producing results closer to the ground-truth maps on the three datasets ( Fig. 3 -Fig. 5 ). Ablation results demonstrate that the value-guided policy optimization mechanism, key-sample-oriented sampling module, and modal fidelity constraint mechanism all contribute to performance improvement. Compared with the baseline model, the complete DLCN obtains consistent OA gains on Houston2013, Trento, and MUUFL, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed decision-learning-correction framework. The temporal analysis shows that DLCN gradually improves class accuracy while maintaining stable spectral-angle variation during sequential decision steps (Fig. 6 ). In addition, DLCN achieves inference times of 1.32 s, 0.86 s, and 2.23 s on the three datasets, respectively, ranking first among the compared methods. This indicates that the introduced Actor-Critic decision mechanism and modal fidelity constraints can be effectively converted into classification gains without causing excessive computational burden.Conclusions This paper proposes DLCN for HSI and LiDAR fusion classification. Different from static fusion methods, DLCN models multimodal fusion as a sequential decision-making process and dynamically adjusts fusion strategies according to local context. The closed-loop design enables the model to generate, evaluate, and correct fusion actions. Experimental results show that DLCN achieves more accurate classification maps in heterogeneous scenes, and the temporal analysis further confirms the stability of the sequential decision process. Future work will focus on more fine-grained feature representation and more robust policy optimization to improve generalization in complex remote sensing scenes. -
