Although three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D-CNN) have been extensively investigated in hyperspectral image classification tasks and have made significant breakthroughs, hyperspectral classification under small sample conditions is still challenging. In order to facilitate small sample hyperspectral classification, a novel mixed spatial-spectral features cascade fusion network (MSSFN) is proposed. First, the covariance structure of hyperspectral data is modeled and dimensionality reduction is conducted using factor analysis. Then, two 3D spatial-spectral residual modules and one 2D separable spatial residual module are used to extract mixed spatial-spectral features. A cascade fusion pattern consisting of intra-block feature fusion and inter-block feature fusion is constructed to enhance the feature extraction capability. Finally, the second-order statistical information of the fused features is mined using second-order pooling and the classification is achieved by the fully connected layer after L2 normalization. On the three public available hyperspectral datasets, Indian Pines, Houston, and University of Pavia, only 5%, 3%, and 1% of the labeled samples were used for training, the accuracy of MSSFN in this paper is 98.52%, 96.31% and 98.83%, respectively, which is far better than the contrast models and verifies the effectiveness of MSSFN in small sample hyperspectral classification tasks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T20:34:40Z","timestamp":1642970080000},"page":"505","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Small Sample Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Cascade Fusion of Mixed Spatial-Spectral Features and Second-Order Pooling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1344-3727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fan","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PLA Strategic Support Force Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongsheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PLA Strategic Support Force Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surveying and Land Information Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo 454003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0848-8453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PLA Strategic Support Force Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,21]]},"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":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
