The classification of hyperspectral images (HSI) is an important foundation in the field of remote sensing. Mamba architectures based on state space model (SSM) have shown great potential in the field of HSI processing due to their powerful long-range sequence modeling capabilities and the efficiency advantages of linear computing. Based on this theoretical basis, We propose a novel deep learning framework: long-sequence Mamba (EchoMamba), which combines the powerful long sequence processing capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) and Mamba to further explore the spectral dimension of HSI, and carry out more in-depth mining and learning of the spectral dimension of HSI. Compared with the previous HSI classification model, the experimental results show that EchoMamba can significantly reduce the training time cost of HSI and effectively improve the performance of the classification task.This study not only advances the current state of HSI classification but also provides a robust foundation for future research in spectral-spatial feature extraction and large-scale remote sensing applications.
