Abstract: An endmember detection algorithm for hyperspectral imagery using the Dirichlet process to determine the number of endmembers in a hyperspectral image is described. This algorithm provides an estimate of endmember spectra, proportion maps, and the number of endmembers needed… Read More

Sparsity promoting iterated constrained endmember detection with integrated band selection
Abstract: An extension of the iterated constrained endmembers (ICE) that incorporates sparsity promoting priors to find the correct number of endmembers and simultaneously select informative spectral bands is presented. In addition to solving for endmembers and endmember fractional maps, this… Read More
SPICE: a sparsity promoting iterated constrained endmember extraction algorithm with applications to landmine detection from hyperspectral imagery
Abstract: An extension of the Iterated Constrained Endmembers (ICE) algorithm that incorporates sparsity promoting priors to find the correct number of endmembers is presented. In addition to solving for endmembers and endmember fractional maps, this algorithm attempts to autonomously determine… Read More
Sensor fusion for airborne landmine detection
Abstract: Sensor fusion has become a vital research area for mine detection because of the countermine community’s conclusion that no single sensor is capable of detecting mines at the necessary detection and false alarm rates over a wide variety of… Read More
Multi-sensor and algorithm fusion with the choquet integral: applications to landmine detection
Abstract: We discuss the application of Choquet integrals to multi-algorithm and multi-sensor fusion in landmine detection. Choquet integrals are defined. Specific classes of measures, the full and Sugeno measures, are described. Full measures are optimized via quadratic programming. A steepest… Read More
