Decision Learning Correction Network: Fusion Classification of Hyperspectral Images and LiDAR Data
-
摘要: 高光谱图像与激光雷达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,该文提出一种决策-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 3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 Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) provide complementary information for land-cover classification. HSI captures rich spectral information for material discrimination, while LiDAR provides elevation and structural information for spatial characterization. However, most existing fusion methods treat multimodal fusion as a one-shot static aggregation process, implicitly assuming that a fixed fusion strategy is applicable to all pixels and regions. This assumption is difficult to satisfy in complex remote sensing scenes, where class-boundary and cross-modal heterogeneous regions exhibit high information density but account for only a small proportion of samples ( Fig. 1 ). To address this limitation, this paper proposes a Decision Learning Correction Network (DLCN) that reformulates static HSI-LiDAR fusion as a context-dependent sequential decision-making process.Methods The proposed DLCN consists of feature extraction, fusion decision learning, and classification. First, HSI and LiDAR are processed through two parallel branches to extract spectral and spatial features and elevation and structural features, respectively. The extracted features are then concatenated to form the current state and are fed into an Actor-Critic framework. The Actor network generates fusion actions to adaptively adjust modality contributions, while the Critic network evaluates the long-term value of each action for classification. To improve learning from difficult samples, a key-sample-oriented sampling module assigns higher sampling probabilities to samples with larger modal fidelity loss. 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 framework, DLCN performs dynamic generation, evaluation, and correction of fusion actions, thereby producing high-quality fusion features for classification ( Fig. 2 ).Results and Discussions Experiments are conducted on the Houston2013, Trento, and MUUFL datasets. DLCN achieves the highest Overall Accuracy (OA) of 97.85%, 99.58%, and 94.38% on the three datasets, respectively, outperforming CHNet, DSymFuser, mPMCL, MEDFN, S3F2Net, and MSAF. The classification maps demonstrate that DLCN effectively reduces misclassification in class-boundary, mixed land-cover, and structurally complex regions, producing results that more closely match the ground-truth maps across all three datasets ( Figs. 3 ~5 ). Ablation studies further demonstrate that the value-guided policy optimization mechanism, key-sample-oriented sampling module, and modal fidelity constraint mechanism each improve classification performance. Compared with the baseline models, the complete DLCN consistently increases OA on Houston2013, Trento, and MUUFL, validating the effectiveness of the proposed decision-learning-correction framework. Time-step analysis shows that DLCN progressively improves classification accuracy while maintaining stable spectral-angle variation during sequential decision making (Fig. 6 ). Furthermore, 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. These results indicate that the additional computation introduced by the Actor-Critic decision framework and modal fidelity constraint mechanism is effectively translated into improved classification performance without imposing excessive computational cost.Conclusions This paper proposes a DLCN for HSI and LiDAR fusion classification. Unlike conventional static fusion methods, DLCN formulates multimodal fusion as a sequential decision-making process and adaptively adjusts fusion strategies according to the local context. Its closed-loop framework enables fusion actions to be generated, evaluated, and corrected throughout the decision process, thereby producing high-quality fusion features for classification. Experimental results demonstrate that DLCN produces more accurate classification maps in heterogeneous remote sensing scenes, and the time-step analysis further confirms the stability of the sequential decision-making process. Future work will focus on more fine-grained feature representation and more robust policy optimization to improve model generalization in complex remote sensing scenes. -
