Due to the similar spectral features between mangroves and other land cover types, challenges are posed since the accuracy is sometimes unsatisfactory in distinguishing mangroves from other land cover types with traditional classification methods. In this paper, we propose a classification method named the multi-feature joint sparse algorithm (MF-SRU), in which spectral, topographic, and textural features are integrated as the decision-making features, and sparse representation of both center pixels and their eight neighborhood pixels is proposed to represent the spatial correlation of neighboring pixels, which can make good use of the spatial correlation of adjacent pixels. Experiments are performed on Landsat Thematic Mapper multispectral remote sensing imagery in the Zhangjiang estuary in Southeastern China, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the extraction accuracy of mangroves.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi6060177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,20]],"date-time":"2017-06-20T10:15:38Z","timestamp":1497953738000},"page":"177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Multi-Feature Joint Sparse Model for the Classification of Mangrove Remote Sensing Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yan-Min","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science &amp; Technology, Huaqiao University, Xiamen 361021, China"},{"name":"College of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Huaqiao University, Xiamen 361021, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science &amp; Technology, Huaqiao University, Xiamen 361021, China"}]},{"given":"Ren-Cheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Huaqiao University, Xiamen 361021, China"}]},{"given":"Hsuan-Ming","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Quemoy University, Kinmen 89250, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1109\/79.974724","article-title":"Detection algorithms for hyperspectral imaging applications","volume":"19","author":"Manolakis","year":"2002","journal-title":"IEEE Signal Process.
