摘      要：In response to the challenges of aerospace defense caused by the rapid development of hypersonic targets in recent years,the research on the unsupervised classification of flight states for hypersonic targets is carried out in this paper,which is based on the Hyperspectral Features(HFs)of hypersonic targets covered with plasma sheath during high-speed flight.First,a new concept of the super node is defined to improve classification accuracy by alleviating the intraclass variability of HFs.Then,the frequency domain information of the curve of HFs is utilized to reduce the feature redundancy according to the prior theoretical knowledge that the fluctuation characteristics of HFs of the same flight states are similar.Finally,an unsupervised classification method based on the Density Peak Clustering(DPC)for HFs is designed to class flight states after eliminating the impact of intraclass variability and feature dimension redundancy.The proposal is compared with the traditional classification algorithms on simulated hyperspectral data sets of typical flight states of the hypersonic vehicle and an actual-observation hyperspectral data set.The results indicate that the performance of our proposal has competitive advantages in terms of Overall Accuracy(OA),Average Accuracy(AA)and Kappa coefficient.
