The airborne hyperspectral image contains rich spectral and spatial information, which provides the possibility of high-precision classification and mapping of forest tree species. Few-shot learning, as an application of deep learning, has become an effective method of image classification. Prototypical networks (P-Net) is a simple and practical deep learning network, which has significant advantages in solving few-shot classification problems. Considering the high band correlation and large data volume associated with airborne hyperspectral images, how to fully extract effective features, filter or reduce redundant features is the key to improving the classification accuracy of P-Net, in order to extract effective features in hyperspectral images and obtain a high-precision forest tree species classification model with limited samples. In this research, we embedded the convolutional block attention module (CBAM) between the convolution blocks of P-Net, the CBAM-P-Net was constructed, and a method to improve the feature extraction efficiency of the P-Net was proposed, although this method makes the network more complex and increases the computational cost to a certain extent. The results show that the combination strategy using Channel First for CBAM greatly improves the feature extraction efficiency of the model. In different sample windows, CBAM-P-Net has an average increase of 1.17% and 0.0129 in testing overall accuracy (OA) and kappa coefficient (Kappa). The optimal classification window is 17 \u00d7 17, the OA reaches 97.28%, and Kappa reaches 0.97, which is an increase of 1.95% and 0.0214 along with just 49 s of training time expended, respectively, compared with P-Net. Therefore, using a suitable sample window and applying the proposed CBAM-P-Net to classify airborne hyperspectral images can achieve high-precision classification and mapping of forest tree species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13071269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,26]],"date-time":"2021-03-26T13:17:53Z","timestamp":1616764673000},"page":"1269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["A New CBAM-P-Net Model for Few-Shot Forest Species Classification Using Airborne Hyperspectral Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Long","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Precision Forestry, Forestry College, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Forest Cultivation and Protection, Ministry of Education, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaomin","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, North China Institute of Aerospace Engineering, Langfang 065000, China"},{"name":"Hebei Collaborative Innovation Center for Aerospace Remote Sensing Information Processing and Application, Langfang 065000, China"}]},{"given":"Guoqi","family":"Chai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Precision Forestry, Forestry College, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Forest Cultivation and Protection, Ministry of Education, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7443-1557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoli","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Precision Forestry, Forestry College, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Forest Cultivation and Protection, Ministry of Education, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Erxue","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2014.03.018","article-title":"Urban tree species mapping using hyperspectral and lidar data fusion","volume":"148","author":"Alonzo","year":"2014","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
