Assessment of the Information Content of Vegetation Indices Set for Hyperspectral Data Preprocessing
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: An approach to assessing the informativeness of vegetation indices and their combinations with principal components for hyperspectral data preprocessing is proposed. It combines separability metrics, area under the curve, and Jeffries–Matusita distance with a Spearman's correlation threshold to generate compact, selective feature sets. Using the proposed algorithm with a 2D convolutional neural network yielded classification accuracy comparable to or exceeding principal component analysis, while preserving input-feature interpretability.
