Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a core task in remote sensing data interpretation. Although recently introduced state space models (SSMs), such as Mamba, have demonstrated promising performance in hyperspectral analysis due to their linear computational complexity and strong long-sequence modeling capability, existing single-stream scanning mechanisms struggle to effectively balance the intrinsic spectral continuity dependency and the high-dimensional redundancy inherent in HSI data. Moreover, they often suffer from representation discrepancies when fusing features from heterogeneous representation spaces. To address these challenges, we propose a continuous–discrete collaborative framework, termed Confluence Mamba (CF-Mamba). Specifically, the continuous modeling path (AHSE) introduces a multi-view adaptive routing mechanism to accurately capture anisotropic spectral–spatial continuous evolution patterns. Simultaneously, the discrete interaction path (IISE) employs interval sampling and channel shuffling strategies to efficiently decouple high-dimensional redundancy while maintaining fine-grained feature interactions. Furthermore, the confluence gating unit (CGU) leverages a bidirectional cross-modulation mechanism to constrain discrete feature distributions using continuous contextual information, effectively alleviating representation discrepancies during multi-scale feature fusion. Extensive experiments conducted on four benchmark datasets, namely, Indian Pines, Pavia University, Houston, and WHU-Hi-Longkou, demonstrate that CF-Mamba achieves overall accuracies of 97.77%, 99.68%, 99.06%, and 99.59%, respectively. The proposed method consistently outperforms existing CNN-, Transformer-, and Mamba-based approaches in terms of both classification performance and computational efficiency.
