Witnessing the success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the traditional images based classification tasks, plenty of efforts have been made to leverage CNNs to improve HSI classification. An advanced CNNs architecture uses the kernels generated from the clustering method, such as a K-means network uses K-means to generate the kernels. However, the above methods are often obtained heuristically (e.g., the number of kernels should be assigned manually), and how to data-adaptively determine the number of convolutional kernels (i.e., filters), and thus generate the kernels that better represent the data, are seldom studied in existing CNNs based HSI classification methods. In this study, we propose a new CNNs based HSI classification method where the convolutional kernels can be automatically learned from the data through clustering without knowing the cluster number. With those data-adaptive kernels, the proposed CNNs method achieves better classification results. Experimental results from the datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9060618","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,16]],"date-time":"2017-06-16T10:06:31Z","timestamp":1497607591000},"page":"618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Convolutional Neural Networks Based Hyperspectral Image Classification Method with Adaptive Kernels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Chen","family":"Ding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0655-056X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]},{"given":"Yanning","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Lab of Speech &amp; Image Information Processing (SAIIP), School of Computer Science and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zortea, M., Martino, M.D., and Serpico, S.
