In this paper, a new method for supervised classification of hyperspectral images is proposed for the case in which the size of the training sample is small. It consists of replacing in the Mahalanobis distance the maximum likelihood estimator of the precision matrix by a sparse estimator. The method is compared with two other existing versions of \textit{LDA} sparse, both in real and simulated images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
