MRFP-Mamba: Multi-Receptive Field Parallel Mamba for Hyperspectral Image Classification by Xiaofei Yang, Lin Li, Suihua Xue, Sihuan Li, Wanjun Yang, Haojin Tang, Xiaohui Huang

“…However, existing methods face several challenges: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are limited in modeling long-range spectral dependencies because of their limited receptive fields; Transformers are constrained by their quadratic computational complexity; and Mamba-based methods fail to fully exploit spatial–spectral interactions when handling high-dimensional HSI data. To address these limitations, we propose MRFP-Mamba, a novel Multi-Receptive-Field Parallel Mamba architecture that integrates hierarchical spatial feature extraction with efficient modeling of spatial–spectral dependencies. …”
