Abstract:

To address the issues of limited receptive fields in conventional graph convolutional networks(GCNs), over-smoothing caused by deep network stacking, and information redundancy in spatial-spectral interactions for hyperspectral image classification, an adaptive multi-hop graph convolution and Transformer fusion network was proposed. An adaptive multi-hop graph attention layer was designed to achieve the adaptive weighted fusion of 0-to K-hop neighborhood features via learnable attention vectors. Concurrently, an enhanced GCN-Transformer fusion interface was constructed by integrating a channel attention mechanism and a one-dimensional neighborhood convolution module, thereby effectively compressing the channel redundancy of the node embeddings and elevating the spectral discriminability. The results on the Indian Pines, Salinas, and Pavia University datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves classification accuracies of 96.05%, 96.92%, and 96.28%, outperforming the classic GTFN method by 2.05,0.11, and 1.14 percentage points, respectively. These results confirm that the synergistic effect of multihop spatial topology modeling and enhanced spectral sequence fusion can effectively overcome the “curse of dimensionality” in hyperspectral and significantly improve the delineation accuracy of irregular boundaries.The introduction of spatial graph modeling boosts the overall accuracy by 27.91 percentage points, with adaptive weighting achieving optimal performance at a hop count of K=3, indicating that the adaptive multihop graph attention mechanism can broaden the spatial perspectives with lower computational overhead and reduce over-smoothing risks by utilizing learned weight decay regularities. By incorporating a feature interface into the channel attention module, the model yields the best comprehensive performance, demonstrating that the enhanced interface effectively compresses information redundancy during the interaction phase,which strengthens the discriminative capability for highly similar spectral land covers.
