INTRODUCTION Problem: Damage condition of residential areas are more concerned than that of natural areas in post-hurricane damage assessment. Recognition of residential and natural areas from commonly used low- spatial-resolution hyperspectral images is thus important. Solution: A spatial-feature extraction method based on hierarchical Fourier transform – Co-occurrence matrix is developed. Spatial and spectral features are then combined to a joint feature vector. Best feature combinations are determined by K-fold cross validation.

Training data of Lubbock dataset is used to train the Bayes classifier, and then the New Orleans dataset is classified. Conclusion 1. Improved accuracy in Bayes classification between residential and natural areas was achieved by using both spectral and macroscopic spatial information. 2. The spatial features extracted by proposed Fourier transform – Co-occurrence matrix method seem to be reliable in “cross” classification, although the purely spectral information between different datasets is so different that it fails the cross classification. Future work 1. More testing and verification on additional datasets are needed in the future. 2. The segmentations of residential and natural areas can be used for model choice in spectral unmixing. 3. The spectral unmixing results at the same position before and after a hurricane can be compared to assess the damage level.

INTRODUCTIONProblem: Damage condition of residential areas are more concerned than that of natural areas in post-hurricane damage assessment. Recognition of residential and natural areas from commonly used low-spatial-resolution hyperspectral images is thus important.

Solution: A spatial-feature extraction method based on hierarchical Fourier transform – Co-occurrence matrix is developed. Spatial and spectral features are then combined to a joint feature vector. Best feature combinations are determined by K-fold cross validation.

Table 1: Performance of a subset of all joint feature combinations for Lubbock dataset.Features are listed in the combinations following the order: PCA1, PCA2, spectral correlation, CON, DIS, HOM, SIM, ASM, MAX, ENT. A “1” means that the feature in the associated position is selected in the combination, and a “0” means that associated feature is not selected.

Fourier transform – Co-occurrence matrix• Residential areas display periodic street patterns while the natural areas are universal.• Fourier Transform is applied to detect the directions orthogonal to the street patterns.• Gray level co-occurrence matrix is calculated between neighboring pixels with an offset of one in the direction orthogonal to the street patterns.

2. Training data of Lubbock dataset is used to train the Bayes classifier, and then the New Orleans dataset is classified.

Conclusion1. Improved accuracy in Bayes classification between residential

and natural areas was achieved by using both spectral and macroscopic spatial information.

2. The spatial features extracted by proposed Fourier transform – Co-occurrence matrix method seem to be reliable in “cross” classification, although the purely spectral information between different datasets is so different that it fails the cross classification.

Future work1. More testing and verification on additional datasets are needed

in the future. 2. The segmentations of residential and natural areas can be used

for model choice in spectral unmixing.3. The spectral unmixing results at the same position before and

after a hurricane can be compared to assess the damage level.
