However, traditional fusion methods simply stack the original source data and their corresponding features, which can be only regarded as a superficial fusion method rather than deep fusion. This paper proposes a pixel-level fusion method for multispectral data and dual polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data based on the polarization extension, which yields synthetic quad PolSAR data. Then we can generate high-dimensional features by means of various polarization decomposition schemes. High-dimensional features usually cause the curse of the dimensionality problem. To overcome this drawback in crop classification using the end-to-end network, we propose a simple network, namely the full tensor decomposition network (FTDN), where the feature extraction in the hidden layer is accomplished by tensor transformation. The number of parameters of the FTDN is considerably fewer than that of traditional neural networks. Moreover, the FTDN admits higher classification accuracy by making full use of structural information of PolSAR data. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fusion method and the FTDN model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15010056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]],"date-time":"2022-12-23T03:26:25Z","timestamp":1671765985000},"page":"56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Full Tensor Decomposition Network for Crop Classification with Polarization Extension"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3418-6512","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Tao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"Research Institute of Advanced Remote Sensing Technology, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Di","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-Bang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiao","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Northwest A & F University, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Institude of Satellite Engineering, Shanghai 201100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"014509","DOI":"10.1117\/1.JRS.15.014509","article-title":"Application of Taguchi method to improve land use land cover classification using PCA-DWT-based SAR-multispectral image fusion","volume":"15","author":"Kulkarni","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
