 Abstract: This letter proposes a novel multiview feature extraction method for supervised polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification. PolSAR images can be characterized by multiview feature sets, such as polarimetric features and textural features. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a well-known dimensionality reduction (DR) method to extract valuable information from multiview feature sets. However, it cannot exploit the discriminative information, which influences its performance of classification. Local discriminant embedding (LDE) is a supervised DR method, which can preserve the discriminative information and the local structure of the data well. However, it is a single-view learning method, which does not consider the relation between multiple view feature sets. Therefore, we propose local discriminant CCA by incorporating the idea of LDE into CCA. Specific to PolSAR images, a symmetric version of revised Wishart distance is used to construct the between-class and within-class neighboring graphs. Then, by maximizing the correlation of neighboring samples from the same class and minimizing the correlation of neighboring samples from different classes, we find two projection matrices to achieve feature extraction. Experimental results on the real PolSAR data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
