Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the margin theory is widely used for the hyperspectral classification. However, the margin model is a single interval and does not represent the complete distribution of hyperspectral image data sets. In addition, the spatial texture information obtained by filtering in recent years has become a hot research topic for improving classification of hyperspectral images, but the spatial correlation information is often lost in the spatial texture information extraction. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an algorithm with large margin distribution machine (LDM) that combined the spatial information obtained by the bilateral filter and linear spatial correlation information (BFLSCI-LDM). First, spatial features were extracted by bilateral filter from hyperspectral image whose dimensionality was reduced by principal component analysis. Next, the linear spatial correlation information was constructed for hyperspectral images. Finally, the spatial information and original spectral information were combined for LDM. The experimental results of actual hyperspectral images indicated that the proposed BFLSCI-LDM method was superior to other classification methods, including the original SVM with the raw spectral features, the dimensionality reduction features, and spatial-spectral information, the method of edge-preserving filter and recursive filter, and the LDM-based method.

Hyperspectral image feature extraction generally does not consider the optimisation of structure element types, resulting in the loss of spatial correlation information. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a novel adaptive classification method (MPDTNC-SVM), in which spatial information is extracted by Morphological Profile Filter (MPF) and Domain Transform Normalised Convolution Filter (DTNCF). First, MPF extracts the spatial features on multiple principal component analysis (PCA) components of the hyperspectral image, and DTNCF works over all spectral bands to extract spatially correlated features. The two spatial features are then combined and fed into Support Vector Machine (SVM). Second, a two-step optimisation is implemented in the classification process. Specifically, the best structure of MPF is chosen for classification. Next, the optimal parameters of the structural elements are obtained through iterative classification optimisation, with the best classification performance produced in the process. Experimental results of actual hyperspectral images show that the proposed MPF and DTNCF with SVM (MPDTNC-SVM) method is superior to other classification methods, including Edge-Preserving Filter and Recursive Filter method, morphological feature-based methods, and the SVM methods with raw spectral features, reduced-dimensional and spatial-spectral information.

In recent years, the spatial texture features obtained by filtering have become a hot research topic to improve hyperspectral image classification, but spatial correlation information is often lost in spatial texture information extraction. To solve this problem, a spectral-spatial classification method based on guided filtering and by the algorithm Large Margin Distribution Machine (LDM) is proposed. More specifically, the spatial texture features can be extracted by a Guided filter (GDF) from hyperspectral images whose dimensionality is reduced by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Spatial correlation features of the hyperspectral image are then obtained using a Domain Transform Interpolated Convolution Filter. The last step is to fuse spatial texture features and correlation features for classification by LDM. The experimental results using the actual hyperspectral image indicate that the proposed GDFDTICF-LDM method is superior to other classification methods, such as the original Support Vector Machine (SVM) with raw spectral features, dimensionality reduction features and spatial-spectral information, methods of edge-preserving filter and recursive filter, and LDM-based methods.
In order to explore the use of side-polished fibre (SPF) for microprobe-type "lab-on-fibre", this study presents an analysis of the surface roughness in side-polished fiber (SPF) using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture feature analysis method. Experimental results show that the flat areas of the SPF polished surface exhibit texture characteristics with high mean values in contrast and entropy, and low mean values in the angular second moment (ASM), homogeneity, and correlation. Employing the random forest (RF) feature importance ranking method based on the Gini coefficient and out-of-bag (OOB) error estimation, this study assesses the sensitivity of various GLCM texture parameters in classifying different roughness levels of the SPF polished surfaces. A feature subset comprising variance, ASM, entropy, and contrast is identified as optimal. Utilizing this subset, the paper conducts an RF classification validation experiment on the roughness of the SPF polished surfaces, with results showing an RF classification accuracy of 95.65%.This research provides evidence for exploring the impact of rough polished surfaces in SPF optic sensors on the light coupling mechanism with environmental materials and its influence on sensor sensitivity. It lays the foundation for exploring the precise identification of high-sensitivity areas on SPF polished surfaces.
