The invention discloses a classification-oriented hyperspectral image
wave band selection method, which comprises the following steps of solving traces of a ratio of an inter-class dispersion matrix to an intra-class dispersion matrix of each
wave band of a hyperspectral image, and arranging the traces in a descending order; improving a linear decline convergence factor into a self-adaptive nonlinear decline convergence factor by adopting a grey wolf
algorithm; reading the first half of the hyperspectral image waveband sequence, performing random arrangement, and taking the first half of the hyperspectral image waveband sequence as an initial
population of an improved grey wolf
algorithm; using the trace of the ratio of the inter-class dispersion matrix to the intra-class dispersion matrix of each
population as an objective function of the improved grey wolf
algorithm, searching the maximum value of the objective function, wherein an individual corresponding to the maximum value is the selected
wave band combination. The method can effectively select the waveband subset suitable for classification, considers that the basic grey wolf algorithm is slow in convergence speed and easy to fall into a local extremum, combines the
class separability criterion with the grey wolf algorithm, improves the convergence factor, and improves the search performance of the grey wolf algorithm.
