For these methods, the weighted graph plays a vital role in the process of DR because it can characterize the data\u2019s structure information. Moreover, the similarity measurement is a crucial factor for constructing a weighted graph. Wishart distance of covariance matrices and Euclidean distance of polarimetric features are two important similarity measurements for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification. For obtaining a satisfactory PolSAR image classification performance, a co-regularized graph embedding (CRGE) method by combing the two distances is proposed for PolSAR image feature extraction in this paper. Firstly, two weighted graphs are constructed based on the two distances to represent the data\u2019s local structure information. Specifically, the neighbouring samples are sought in a local patch to decrease computation cost and use spatial information. Next the DR model is constructed based on the two weighted graphs and co-regularization. The co-regularization aims to minimize the dissimilarity of low-dimensional features corresponding to two weighted graphs. We employ two types of co-regularization and the corresponding algorithms are proposed. Ultimately, the obtained low-dimensional features are used for PolSAR image classification. Experiments are implemented on three PolSAR datasets and results show that the co-regularized graph embedding can enhance the performance of PolSAR image classification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12111738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]],"date-time":"2020-05-28T12:36:58Z","timestamp":1590669418000},"page":"1738","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["PolSAR Image Feature Extraction via Co-Regularized Graph Embedding"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3325-933X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiayuan","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Lab of Management and Control for Complex System, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiangli","family":"Nie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Lab of Management and Control for Complex System, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Lab of Management and Control for Complex System, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Lee, J., and Pottier, E.
