Abstract: An endmember detection and spectral unmixing algorithm that uses both spatial and spectral information is presented. This method, Spatial Piece-wise Convex Multiple Model Endmember Detection (Spatial P-COMMEND), autonomously estimates multiple sets of endmembers and performs spectral unmixing for input… Read More

L1-endmembers: a robust endmember detection and spectral unmixing algorithm
Abstract: A hyperspectral endmember detection and spectral unmixing algorithm based on an l1 norm factorization of the input hyperspectral data is developed and compared to a method based on l2 norm factorization. Both algorithms, the L1-Endmembers algorithm based on the… Read More
Quantifying the benefit of airborne and ground sensor fusion for target detection
Abstract: In this paper, a study involving the detection of buried objects by fusing airborne Multi-Spectral Imagery (MSI) and ground-based Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data is investigated. The benefit of using the airborne sensor to cue the GPR, which will… Read More
Context-based endmember detection for hyperspectral imagery
Abstract: An endmember detection algorithm that simultaneously partitions an input data set into distinct contexts, estimates endmembers, number of endmembers, and abundances for each partition is presented. In contrast to previous endmember detection algorithms based on the convex geometry model,… Read More
Endmember detection using the dirichlet process
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
Hyperspectral endmember detection and band selection using bayesian methods
Abstract: Four methods of endmember detection and spectral unmixing are described. The methods determine endmembers and perform spectral unmixing while simultaneously determining the number of endmembers, representing endmembers as distributions, partitioning the input data set into several convex regions, or… 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 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
