Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification methods often follow an approach of patch-based learning framework. Recently, an image-based global deep learning framework has gained increasing attention for HSI classification tasks due to faster inference speed. However, such a framework exhibits deteriorated performance in modeling features on the region level while balancing local spatial structure information. In this letter, we propose a global learning method that includes graph-guided transformer (G ² T) as the core tool. First, we extract pixel level features by convolution block and obtain an undirected graph by segmentation on superpixel scales for an input HSI. Then, to model global and local correlations among nodes of superpixels, a mechanism of graph-guided self-attention (G ² SA) is developed and implemented. Finally, pixel level features integrated with superpixel features at regional level are used to generate classification results for the HSI. Experimental results demonstrate that the method of G ² T outperforms state-of-the-art methods in classification accuracy and inference speed, in particular in the case of limited labeled sample.
