Combining the image segmentation and active learning techniques, SL aims at selecting and labeling the informative unlabeled samples automatically, thereby improving the classification accuracy under the condition of small samples. This paper presents an improved synergetic classification scheme based on the concept of self-learning for HS and PAN images. The investigated scheme considers three basic rules, namely the identity rule, the uncertainty rule, and the diversity rule. By integrating the diversity of samples into the SL scheme, a more stable classifier is trained by using fewer samples. Experiments on three synthetic and real HS and PAN images reveal that the diversity criterion can avoid the problem of bias sampling, and has a certain advantage over the primary self-learning approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8100804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,29]],"date-time":"2016-09-29T09:54:50Z","timestamp":1475142890000},"page":"804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Incorporating Diversity into Self-Learning for Synergetic Classification of Hyperspectral and Panchromatic Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1745-4992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaochen","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1080\/01431160600746456","article-title":"A survey of image classification methods and techniques for improving classification performance","volume":"28","author":"Lu","year":"2007","journal-title":"Int.
