Abstract: Hyperspectral images (HSIs) data that is typically presented in 3-D format offers an opportunity for 3-D networks to extract spectral and spatial features simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end 3-D dense convolutional network with spectral-wise attention mechanism (MSDN-SA) for HSI classification. The proposed MSDN-SA exploits 3-D dilated convolutions to simultaneously capture the spectral and spatial features at different scales, and densely connects all 3-D feature maps with each other. In addition, a spectral-wise attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the distinguishability of spectral features, which improves the classification performance of the trained models. Experimental results on three HSI datasets demonstrate that our MSDN-SA achieves competitive performance for HSI classification.
