In this paper, an approach is proposed to fuse LiDAR and hyperspectral data, which considers both spectral and spatial information in a single framework. Here, an extended self-dual attribute profile (ESDAP) is investigated to extract spatial information from a hyperspectral data set. To extract spectral information, a few well-known classifiers have been used such as support vector machines (SVMs), random forests (RFs), and artificial neural networks (ANNs). The proposed method accurately classify the relatively volumetric data set in a few CPU processing time in a real ill-posed situation where there is no balance between the number of training samples and the number of features. The classification part of the proposed approach is fully-automatic.
