#### **Band Subset Selection for Hyperspectral Image Classification**

*Chunyan Yu, Meiping Song and Chein-I Chang*

This paper develops a new approach to band subset selection (BSS) for hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) which selects multiple bands simultaneously as a band subset, referred to as simultaneous multiple band selection (SMMBS), rather than one band at a time sequentially, referred to as sequential multiple band selection (SQMBS), as most traditional band selection methods do.
