Abstract: A semi-supervised Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation approach is developed for hyperspectral unmixing and endmember estimation while accounting for spectral variability and spatial information. Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation is an effective approach for spectral unmixing while representing spectral… Read More

Map-guided Hyperspectral Image Superpixel Segmentation Using Proportion Maps
Abstract: A map-guided superpixel segmentation method for hyperspectral imagery is developed and introduced. The proposed approach develops a hyperspectral-appropriate version of the SLIC superpixel segmentation algorithm, leverages map information to guide segmentation, and incorporates the semi-supervised Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet… Read More
Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation for Soft Image Segmentation
Abstract: Topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, sLDA) have been widely used for segmenting imagery. However, these models are confined to crisp segmentation, forcing a visual word (i.e., an image patch) to belong to one and only one topic. Yet, there… Read More
Semi-supervised Interactive Unmixing for Hyperspectral Image Analysis
Abstract: In the past several decades, hyperspectral imaging has drawn a lot of attention in the eld of remote sensing. Yet, due to low spatial resolutions of hyperspectral imagers, often the response from more than one surface material can be… Read More
Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation for Image Segmentation
Abstract: Topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, SLDA) have been widely used for segmenting imagery. These models are confined to crisp segmentation. Yet, there are many images in which some regions cannot be assigned a crisp label (e.g., transition regions between… Read More
Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation
Abstract: For many years, topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, SLDA) have been widely used for segmenting and recognizing objects in imagery simultaneously. However, these models are confined to the analysis of categorical data, forcing a visual word to belong to… Read More
