contents Hyperspectral image classification demands spatially coherent predictions and precise boundary delineation. Yet prevailing superpixel-based methods face an inherent contradiction: clustering aggregates similar pixels into regions, but the subsequent classifier operates pixel-wise, undermining regional consistency. Consequently, existing approaches do not guarantee region-level, boundary-aligned classification. To address this limitation, we propose the Dual-stage Spectrum-Constrained Clustering-based Classifier (DSCC), an end-to-end framework that explicitly decouples clustering from classification by first grouping spectral similar and spatially proximate pixels into spectral supertokens and then performing token-level prediction. At its core, DSCC computes an image-level multi-criteria feature distance between pixels and centers, followed by a locality-aware assignment regularization, enabling the generation of boundary-preserving spectral supertokens. A density-isolation based center selection further yields representative, well-separated centers, reducing redundancy and improving robustness to scale variation. To accommodate mixed land-cover compositions within each token, we introduce a soft-label scheme that encodes class proportions and improves robustness for mixed-class tokens. DSCC attains a CF1 of 0.728 at 197.75 FPS on the WHU-OHS dataset, offering a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off compared with state-of-the-art methods. Extensive experiments further validate the effectiveness and generality of the proposed dual-stage paradigm for hyperspectral image classification.
