摘要：A ReliefF improved mRMR (RmRMR) criterion-based bag of visual words (BoVW) algorithm is proposed to filter the visual words that are generated with high information redundancy for remote sensing image classification. First, the contribution degree of each word to the classification is represented by its weighting parameter, which is assigned using the ReliefF algorithm. Next, the relevance and redundancy of each word are calculated according to the mRMR criterion with the addition of a dictionary balance coefficient. Finally, a novel dictionary discriminant function is established, and the globally discriminative small-scale dictionary subsets are filtered and obtained. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the amount of redundant information in the dictionary and better balances the relevance and redundancy of words to improve the feature descriptive power of dictionary subsets and markedly increase the classification precision on a high-resolution remote sensing image.
