Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on Fusion of Guided Filter and Domain Transform Interpolated Convolution Filter

In recent years, the spatial texture features obtained by filtering have become a hot research topic to improve hyperspectral image classification, but spatial correlation information is often lost in spatial texture information extraction.To solve this problem, a spectral-spatial classification method based on guided filtering and by the algorithm
