However, due to the numerous spectral dimensions of hyperspectral images, most classification models suffer from issues such as breaking spectral continuity and poor learning of spectral information. In this paper, we propose a new classification model called the enhanced spectral fusion network (ESFNet), which contains two parts: an optimized multi-scale fused spectral attention module (FsSE) and a 3D convolutional neural network (3D CNN) based on the fusion of different spectral strides (SSFCNN). Specifically, after sampling the hyperspectral images, our model first implements the weighting of the spectral information through the FsSE module to obtain spectral data with a higher degree of information richness. Then, the weighted spectral data are fed into the SSFCNN to realize the effective learning of spectral features. The new model can maximize the retention of spectral continuity and enhance the spectral information while being able to better utilize the enhanced information to improve the model\u2019s ability to learn hyperspectral image features, thus improving the classification accuracy of the model. Experiment results on the Indian Pines and Pavia University datasets demonstrated that our method outperforms other relevant baselines in terms of classification accuracy and generalization performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14215334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T07:17:48Z","timestamp":1666768668000},"page":"5334","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["An Enhanced Spectral Fusion 3D CNN Model for Hyperspectral Image Classification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5154-1893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junbo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shan","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zuyin","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinbo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2769-4842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Computer Science, Wuhan Polytechnic University, Wuhan 430023, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2007.12.014","article-title":"Three decades of hyperspectral remote sensing of the Earth: A personal view","volume":"113","author":"Goetz","year":"2009","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
