ملخص

Accurate farmland area identification is the basis of crop yield estimation and an important indicator in food security assessment. As an important data source for farmland identification, remote sensing data can provide dynamic and fast observation results for classification. GF-5, which is the only hyperspectral satellite in the China High-resolution Earth Observation System, has great research and application potential in farmland identification. However, the dimensionality curse caused by the redundant bands in hyperspectral data seriously affects the calculation speed and classification accuracy of models. To solve this problem, this research proposes a hybrid feature selection algorithm for farmland identification. First, on the basis of the feature importance provided by the feature selection algorithm, the feature dimension is gradually reduced from 295 to 5 with a step length of 10. The overall accuracy of the classification results corresponding to each feature dimension is recorded. Second, the turning point (a dimension number whose corresponding overall accuracy hardly decreases when the input variable number is smaller than it) is determined based on the overall accuracy, and the corresponding variables are adopted as the feature subset. Lastly, the Sequential Backward Selection (SBS) method is used to search for the best subset.Three feature selection algorithms (i.e., Random Forest (RF), Multi-Information (MI), and L1 regularization (L1)) and three classification algorithms (RF, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN)) are examined. Results indicate that the autocorrelations of the three subsets differ significantly. Most of the bands selected by the MI method are continuous and concentrated in the blue and shortwave infrared range. Therefore, the extremely high autocorrelation that exists in this subset has a negative effect on classification accuracy. By contrast, the correlation between bands in the RF and L1 feature subsets is relatively weak. However, the two feature sets still result in different classification accuracy. According to the variable distribution, many red-edge and near-infrared bands are contained in the L1 feature subset. These bands demonstrate better ability to distinguish farmland, forest, and soil than the blue and red bands selected by the RF algorithm. The classification algorithms also have different capacities. In the high-dimensional space, the SVM algorithm exhibits high robustness to noise, resulting in high accuracy. However, when the dimension decreases to a critical value, the accuracy of SVM decreases sharply. By contrast, although RF is not as robust as SVM in the high-dimensional space, it has excellent generalization ability in the low-dimensional space. Compared with the subsets obtained after the first dimensionality reduction process, the optimal feature subsets obtained by SBS searching improve the classification accuracy of each model.The L1-SVM-SBS model with a 23-dimensional input achieves the highest overall classification accuracy (94.64%) and cropland recall rate (95.83%). This study provides a new method of farmland identification using hyperspectral data. By selecting numerous representative and informative bands, this method not only improves farmland classification accuracy, but can also be used as a reference for other classification problems involving hyperspectral remote sensing.
