It can be found from the results that for the dual branch CNN network structure, the joint classification of hyperspectral data and lidar data can achieve higher classification accuracy. For example, on different data sets, the global classification accuracy of the joint classification method reaches 98.46%. At the same time, experiments with the SVM model and the ELM model are carried out on different training sets. The DB-CNN model has the highest training accuracy and the fastest speed in training and testing. Besides, the test error of the DB-CNN model is the lowest at about 0.026, which is 0.037 lower than that of the ELM model and 0.056 lower than that of the SVM model. And the AUC value corresponding to the ROC curve of its model is about 0.922, which is higher than the other two models. It can obviously improve the effect of multi-source remote sensing data fusion and classification.
