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

Hyperspectral Unmixing with Endmember Variability Using Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation
Abstract: The application of Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation (PM-LDA) for hyperspectral endmember estimation and spectral unmixing is presented. PM-LDA provides a model for a hyperspectral image analysis that accounts for spectral variability and incorporates spatial information through the use… Read More
Possibilistic context identification for SAS imagery
Abstract: This paper proposes a possibilistic context identification approach for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery. SAS seabed imagery can display a variety of textures that can be used to identify seabed types such as sea grass, sand ripple and hard-packed… Read More
Boundary detection and Superpixel formation in synthetic aperture sonar imagery
Abstract: A boundary detection algorithm for synthetic aper- ture sonar (SAS) images that draws upon a popular superpixel formation algorithm is detailed and tested against a set of SAS images containing a variety of common seabed categories. Textural clues are… Read More
Spatial and spectral unmixing using the beta compositional model
Abstract: This paper introduces the beta compositional model (BCM) for hyperspectral unmixing and four algorithms for unmixing given the BCM. Hyperspectral unmixing estimates the proportion of each endmember at every pixel of a hyperspectral image. Under the BCM, each endmember… Read More
Multi-Image texton selection for sonar image seabed co-segmentation
Abstract: In this paper we describe an unsupervised approach to seabed co-segmentation over the multiple sonar images collected in sonar surveys. We adapt a traditional single image segmentation texton-based approach to the sonar survey task by modifying the texture extraction… Read More
