Of deep learning methods, convolution neural network (CNN) has been widely used and achieved promising results. However, CNN has its limitations in modeling sample relations. Graph convolution network (GCN) has been introduced to HSI classification due to its demonstrated ability in processing sample relations. Introducing GCN into HSI classification, the key issue is how to transform HSI, a typical euclidean data, into non-euclidean data. To address this problem, we propose a supervised framework called the Global Random Graph Convolution Network (GR-GCN). A novel method of constructing the graph is adopted for the network, where the graph is built by randomly sampling from the labeled data of each class. Using this technique, the size of the constructed graph is small, which can save computing resources, and we can obtain an enormous quantity of graphs, which also solves the problem of insufficient samples. Besides, the random combination of samples can make the generated graph more diverse and make the network more robust. We also use a neural network with trainable parameters, instead of artificial rules, to determine the adjacency matrix. An adjacency matrix obtained by a neural network is more flexible and stable, and it can better represent the relationship between nodes in a graph. We perform experiments on three benchmark datasets, and the results demonstrate that the GR-GCN performance is competitive with that of current state-of-the-art methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13122285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T21:34:38Z","timestamp":1623360878000},"page":"2285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Global Random Graph Convolution Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chaozi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianli","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kainan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1109\/MGRS.2016.2616418","article-title":"Advanced spectral classifiers for hyperspectral images: A review","volume":"5","author":"Ghamisi","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
