Congratulations to our labmates and collaborators: Ricardo Augusto Borsoi, Tales Imbiriba, Jose Carlos Moreira Bermudez, Cedric Richard, Jocelyn Chanussot, Lucas Drumets, Jean-Yves Tourneret, Alina Zare and Christian Jutten!  Their publication, “Spectral Variability in Hyperspectral Data Unmixing: A Comprehensive Review” was recently accepted to the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magezine. In their paper, the authors […]

Abstract: The spectral signatures of the materials contained in hyperspectral images (HI), also called endmembers (EM), can be significantly affected by variations in atmospheric, illumination or environmental conditions typically occurring within an HI. Traditional spectral unmixing (SU) algorithms neglect the spectral variability of the endmembers, what propagates significant mismodeling errors throughout the whole unmixing process […]

Abstract: Much work in the study of hyperspectral imagery has focused on macroscopic mixtures and unmixing via the linear mixing model. A substantially different approach seeks to model hyperspectral data non-linearly in order to accurately describe intimate or microscopic relationships of materials within the image. In this paper we present and discuss a new model […]

Abstract: A method of incorporating the multi-mixture pixel model into hyperspectral endmember extraction is presented and discussed. A vast majority of hyperspectral endmember extraction methods rely on the linear mixture model to describe pixel spectra resulting from mixtures of endmembers. Methods exist to unmix hyperspectral pixels using nonlinear models, but rely on severely limiting assumptions […]

Abstract: An algorithm, Bilinear SPICE (BISPICE), for simultaneously estimating the number of endmembers, the endmembers, and proportions for a bilinear mixing model is derived and evaluated. BISPICE generalizes the SPICE algorithm for linear mixing. The proportion estimation steps of SPICE and BISPICE are similar. However, the endmember updates, one novel aspect of the work, are […]

Abstract: A method of incorporating macroscopic and microscopic reflectance models into hyperspectral pixel unmixing is presented and discussed. A vast majority of hyperspectral unmixing methods rely on the linear mixture model to describe pixel spectra resulting from mixtures of endmembers. Methods exist to unmix hyperspectral pixels using nonlinear models, but rely on severely limiting assumptions […]
