This document summarizes research on classifying hyperspectral data using extended morphological attribute profiles (MAPs) based on different feature extraction techniques. MAPs built using standard deviation attributes and techniques like PCA, KPCA, DAFE and DBFE were used to classify data from the University of Pavia and Indian Pines sites. KPCA and DAFE generally produced the best results, with KPCA MAPs achieving overall accuracies over 90% on both datasets when used with random forests or SVMs. Further optimization of feature extraction and threshold selection for MAP construction is ongoing.

6. Morphological Profiles When dealing with real images it is difficult to identify a single filter parameter suitable to handle all the objects in the image. Perform a multilevel analysis by using several values for the filter parameters. Build a stack of images with different degrees of filtering. Morphological Profile (MP) M. Pesaresi and J. A.

10. Selection of thresholds for constructing MAP Master Thesis: Mattia Pedergnana (University of Iceland, Iceland and University of Trento, Italy) Optimal Automatic Construction of Morphological Profiles In this study, we only use the attribute profile generated using the standard deviation attribute. The thresholds to build the profile are estimated for every feature separately from the range of standard deviation values of the training samples of all the classes. So, different threshold values are used for diferent profiles. A more general approach to use a big range of attributes has been recently proposed. An entire profile using a wide range of attributes and wide range of thresholds is built and a newly proposed hybrid genetic algorithm is used for feature selection.
