Abstract
Due to prior knowledge deficiency, large spectral variability, and high dimension of hyperspectral image (HSI), HSI clustering is extremally a fundamental but challenging task. Deep clustering methods have achieved remarkable success and have attracted increasing attention in unsupervised HSI classification (HSIC). However, the poor robustness, adaptability, and feature presentation limit their practical applications to complex large-scale HSI datasets. Thus, this article introduces a novel self-supervised locality preserving low-pass graph convolutional embedding method (L2GCC) for large-scale hyperspectral image clustering. Specifically, a spectral–spatial transformation HSI preprocessing mechanism is introduced to learn superpixel-level spectral–spatial features from HSI and reduce the number of graph nodes for subsequent network processing. In addition, locality preserving low-pass graph convolutional embedding autoencoder is proposed, in which the low-pass graph convolution and layerwise graph attention are designed to extract the smoother features and preserve layerwise locality features, respectively. Finally, we develop a self-training strategy, in which a self-training clustering objective employs soft labels to supervise the clustering process and obtain appropriate hidden representations for node clustering. L2GCC is an end-to-end training network, which is jointly optimized by graph reconstruction loss and self-training clustering loss. On Indian Pines, Salinas, and University of Houston 2013 datasets, the clustering accuracy overall accuracies (OAs) of the proposed L2GCC are 73.51%, 83.15%, and 64.12%, respectively.
