Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification is an important part in the understanding and interpretation of SAR images. Each patch in SAR images has a scene category, but usually contains multiple land-cover classes or latent properties, which can be represented by topics in the probabilistic topic model (PTM). The representation and selection of discriminative features in PTM have a large impact on the classification results. Most of the existing feature learning methods do not make full use of high-level structure feature and the feature correlation within similar images to mine discriminative features. Therefore, this article proposes a discriminative sketch topic model with structural constraint (C-SSTM) for SAR image classification. In the proposed model, each image patch is characterized by structural and texture features. In particular, the sketch structural feature is based on the sketch map to represent the image local structure pattern. Then, the local image manifold information is preserved in terms of structure and texture. In the structural constraint, the texture and structure of each image patch are combined to learn discriminative latent semantic topics between image patches. Finally, each image patch is quantified by discriminative latent semantic topics instead of low-level representation. The experimental results tested on synthetic and real SAR images demonstrate that the proposed C-SSTM is able to learn effective structural feature representation from SAR images. Compared with other related approaches, C-SSTM produces competitive classification accuracies with high time efficiency.
