Hyperspectral image analysis with piece-wise convex endmember estimation and spectral unmixing

Abstract:

A hyperspectral endmember detection and spectral unmixing algorithm that finds multiple sets of endmembers is presented. This algorithm, the Piece-wise Convex Multiple Model Endmember Detection (P-COMMEND) algorithm, models a hyperspectral image using a piece-wise convex representation. By using a piece-wise convex representation, non-convex hyperspectral data are more accurately characterized. For example, the well-known Indian Pines hyperspectral image is used as an example of a piece-wise convex collection of pixels. The convex regions, weights, endmembers and abundances are found using an iterative fuzzy clustering method. Results indicate that the piece-wise convex representation provides endmembers that better represent hyperspectral data sets over methods that use a single convex region.
