PCE: piecewise convex endmember detection
Abstract: A new hyperspectral endmember detection method that represents endmembers as distributions, autonomously partitions the input data set into several convex regions, and simultaneously determines endmember distributions (EDs) and proportion values for each convex region is presented. Spectral unmixing methods… Read More
Hyperspectral band selection and endmember detection using sparsity promoting priors
Abstract: This letter presents a simultaneous band selection and endmember detection algorithm for hyperspectral imagery. This algorithm is an extension of the sparsity promoting iterated constrained endmember (SPICE) algorithm. The extension adds spectral band weights and a sparsity promoting prior… Read More
Vegetation mapping for landmine detection using long-wave hyperspectral imagery
Abstract: We develop a vegetation mapping method using long-wave hyperspectral imagery and apply it to landmine detection. The novel aspect of the method is that it makes use of emissivity skewness. The main purpose of vegetation detection for mine detection… Read More
Sparsity promoting iterated constrained endmember detection in hyperspectral imagery
Abstract: An extension of the iterated constrained endmember (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 the… Read More
