Semi-supervised classification methods result in higher performance for hyperspectral images, because they can utilize the relationship between unlabeled samples and labeled samples to obtain pseudo-labeled samples. However, how generating an effective training sample set is a major challenge for semi-supervised methods, In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised classification method based on extended label propagation (ELP) and a rolling guidance filter (RGF) called ELP-RGF, in which ELP is a new two-step process to make full use of unlabeled samples. The first step is to implement the graph-based label propagation algorithm to propagate the label information from labeled samples to the neighboring unlabeled samples. This is then followed by the second step, which uses superpixel propagation to assign the same labels to all pixels within the superpixels that are generated by the image segmentation method, so that some labels wrongly labeled by the above step can be modified. As a result, so obtained pseudo-labeled samples could be used to improve the performance of the classifier. Subsequently, an effective feature extraction method, i. e., RGF is further used to remove the noise and the small texture structures to optimize the features of the initial hyperspectral image. Finally, these produced initial labeled samples and high-confidence pseudo-labeled samples are used as a training set for support vector machine (SVM). The experimental results show that the proposed method can produce better classification performance for three widely-used real hyperspectral datasets, particularly when the number of training samples is relatively small.
