Dimensionality reduction using deep belief network in big data case study: Hyperspectral image classification

Abstract

The high dimensionality in big data need a heavy computation when the analysis needed. This research proposed a dimensionality reduction using deep belief network (DBN). We used hyperspectral images as case study. The hyperspectral image is a high dimensional image. Some researched have been proposed to reduce hyperspectral image dimension such as using LDA and PCA in spectral-spatial hyperspectral image classification. This paper proposed a dimensionality reduction using deep belief network (DBN) for hyperspectral image classification. In proposed framework, we use two DBNs. First DBN used to reduce the dimension of spectral bands and the second DBN used to extract spectral-spatial feature and as classifier. We used Indian Pines data set that consist of 16 classes and we compared DBN and PCA performance. The result indicates that by using DBN as dimensionality reduction method performed better than PCA in hyperspectral image classification.
