摘要： Domain adaptation, which aims at learning an accurate classifier for a new domain (target domain) using labeled information from an old domain (source domain), has shown promising value in remote sensing fields yet still been a challenging problem. In this letter, we focus on knowledge transfer between hyperspectral remotely sensed images in the context of land-cover classification under unsupervised setting where labeled samples are available only for the source image. Specifically, a discriminative transfer joint matching (DTJM) method is proposed, which matches source and target features in the kernel principal component analysis space by minimizing the empirical maximum mean discrepancy, performs instance reweighting by imposing an l2,1-norm on the embedding matrix, and preserves the local manifold structure of data from different domains and meanwhile maximizes the dependence between the embedding and labels. The proposed approach is compared with some state-of-the-art feature extraction techniques with and without using label information of source data. Experimental results on two benchmark hyperspectral data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed DTJM.
