In this paper, a novel statistical metric learning is developed for spectral-spatial classification of the hyperspectral image. First, the standard variance of the samples of each class in each batch is used to decrease the intra-class variance within each class. Then, the distances between the means of different classes are used to penalize the inter-class variance of the training samples. Finally, the standard variance between the means of different classes is added as an additional diversity term to repulse different classes from each other. Experiments have conducted over two real-world hyperspectral image datasets and the experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed statistical metric learning.

In this paper, we propose a novel binary-based cost computation and aggregation approach for stereo matching problem. The cost volume is constructed through bitwise operations on a series of binary strings. Then this approach is combined with traditional winner-take-all strategy, resulting in a new local stereo matching algorithm called binary stereo matching (BSM). Since core algorithm of BSM is based on binary and integer computations, it has a higher computational efficiency than previous methods. Experimental results on Middlebury benchmark show that BSM has comparable performance with state-of-the-art local stereo methods in terms of both quality and speed. Furthermore, experiments on images with radiometric differences demonstrate that BSM is more robust than previous methods under these changes, which is common under real illumination.
