Thus, spurred by that finding and to further improve the deep learning classification accuracy, we propose a multi-scale residual convolutional neural network model fused with an efficient channel attention network (MRA-NET) that is appropriate for hyperspectral image classification. The suggested technique comprises a multi-staged architecture, where initially the spectral information of the hyperspectral image is reduced into a two-dimensional tensor, utilizing a principal component analysis (PCA) scheme. Then, the constructed low-dimensional image is input to our proposed ECA-NET deep network, which exploits the advantages of its core components, i.e., multi-scale residual structure and attention mechanisms. We evaluate the performance of the proposed MRA-NET on three public available hyperspectral datasets and demonstrate that, overall, the classification accuracy of our method is 99.82 %, 99.81%, and 99.37, respectively, which is higher compared to the corresponding accuracy of current networks such as 3D convolutional neural network (CNN), three-dimensional residual convolution structure (RES-3D-CNN), and space\u2013spectrum joint deep network (SSRN).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13030335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,20]],"date-time":"2021-01-20T12:16:18Z","timestamp":1611144978000},"page":"335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Multi-Scale Residual Network with Attention Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuhao","family":"Qing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument and Electronics, North University of China, Taiyuan 030000, China"}]},{"given":"Wenyi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Instrument and Electronics, North University of China, Taiyuan 030000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1109\/MGRS.2013.2244672","article-title":"Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Data Analysis and Future Challenges","volume":"1","author":"Plaza","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
