Witnessing the success of deep-learning-based methods, a cube-pair-based convolutional neural networks (CNN) classification architecture is proposed to cope this objective in this study, where cube-pair is used to address the small training dataset problem as well as preserve the 3D local structure of HSI data. Within this architecture, a 3D fully convolutional network is further modeled, which has less parameters compared with traditional CNN. Provided the same amount of training samples, the modeled network can go deeper than traditional CNN and thus has superior generalization ability. Experimental results on several HSI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method has superior classification results compared with other state-of-the-art competing methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10050783","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,21]],"date-time":"2018-05-21T04:07:30Z","timestamp":1526875650000},"page":"783","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Deep Cube-Pair Network for Hyperspectral Imagery Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0655-056X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Wei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunna","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanning","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1109\/MGRS.2017.2762087","article-title":"Advances in Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: A Comprehensive Overview of the State of the Art","volume":"5","author":"Ghamisi","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
