However, existing methods, such as Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), face challenges in constructing effective graph structures due to variations in local semantic information and limited receptiveness to large-scale contextual structures. To overcome these limitations, we propose an Invariant Attribute-driven Binary Bi-branch Classification (IABC) method, which is a unified network that combines a binary Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a GCN with invariant attributes. Our approach utilizes a joint detection framework that can simultaneously learn features from small-scale regular regions and large-scale irregular regions, resulting in an enhanced structural representation of HSI and LiDAR images in the spectral\u2013spatial domain. This approach not only improves the accuracy of classification and recognition but also reduces storage requirements and enables real-time decision making, which is crucial for effectively processing large-scale remote sensing data. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method in hyperspectral image analysis tasks. The combination of CNNs and GCNs allows for the accurate modeling of spatial relationships and effective construction of graph structures. Furthermore, the integration of binary quantization enhances computational efficiency, enabling the real-time processing of large-scale data. Therefore, our approach presents a promising opportunity for advancing remote sensing applications using deep learning techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15174255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]],"date-time":"2023-08-30T10:09:49Z","timestamp":1693390189000},"page":"4255","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Invariant Attribute-Driven Binary Bi-Branch Classification of Hyperspectral and LiDAR Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3111-1116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiaqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0851-6565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8310-024X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weiying","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Daixun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"258619","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/258619","article-title":"Deep convolutional neural networks for hyperspectral image classification","volume":"2015","author":"Hu","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
