A novel discriminative graph-based fusion (DGF) method is proposed for urban area classification to fuse heterogeneous features from two data sources, i.e., hyperspectral image (HSI) and light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) data. The features include spectral characteristics in HSI, height in LiDAR data, and geometry in image processing technologies like morphological profiles (MPs). Our proposed DGF method couples dimension reduction and heterogeneous feature fusion. The core idea of the proposed method is to search for a projection matrix by minimizing the similarity term that preserves the local geometry of each class and maximizing the dissimilarity term that contains the relation of between-class distance. As a result, the proposed method can pull close together samples of the same class while pushing those of different classes apart in the projected space by fusing graphs constructed by different groups of heterogeneous features. The edges of the graphs are measured by kernel. Furthermore, the multiscale DGF (MS-DGF) is introduced to utilize the capability of similarity measure of different scales of kernel and avoid finding the optimal scale simultaneously. Experiments are conducted on real HSI along with LiDAR data. The corresponding results demonstrate that the proposed method can make an effective fusion of heterogeneous features to make full use of the complementary information of HSI and LiDAR, which facilitates fine classification task of urban area, compared with several state-of-the-art algorithms.
