In this paper, we propose a spatial–spectral feature fusion model with a predictive feature weighting mechanism and demonstrate its applications to the problems of hyperspectral image classification and segmentation. To address these problems, we learn a set of 1-D convolutional local spectral filters and 2-D spatial–spectral filters that feed features into a fusion module, in an end-to-end fashion. We propose a lightweight predictive feature weighting component embedded in the fusion model and consider four design fusion options, i.e., by adding or concatenating features with equal or predicted weights. For the pixel classification task, the training input consists of image patches with labeled central pixels, whereas for the spatial segmentation task, it includes the label maps of image regions. The proposed networks have been evaluated on the Indian Pines, Pavia University, and Houston University for the classification problem and the SpaceNet data set for the spatial segmentation problem. The quantitative results favor the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art methods across all the four data sets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
