Correntropy Maximization via ADMM - Application to Robust Hyperspectral Unmixing
In hyperspectral images, some spectral bands suffer from low signal-to-noise
ratio due to noisy acquisition and atmospheric effects, thus requiring robust
techniques for the unmixing problem. This paper presents a robust supervised
spectral unmixing approach for hyperspectral images. The robustness is achieved
by writing the unmixing problem as the maximization of the correntropy
criterion subject to the most commonly used constraints. Two unmixing problems
are derived: the first problem considers the fully-constrained unmixing, with
both the non-negativity and sum-to-one constraints, while the second one deals
with the non-negativity and the sparsity-promoting of the abundances. The
corresponding optimization problems are solved efficiently using an alternating
direction method of multipliers (ADMM) approach. Experiments on synthetic and
real hyperspectral images validate the performance of the proposed algorithms
for different scenarios, demonstrating that the correntropy-based unmixing is
robust to outlier bands.Comment: 23 page
Hyperspectral Unmixing Overview: Geometrical, Statistical, and Sparse Regression-Based Approaches
Imaging spectrometers measure electromagnetic energy scattered in their
instantaneous field view in hundreds or thousands of spectral channels with
higher spectral resolution than multispectral cameras. Imaging spectrometers
are therefore often referred to as hyperspectral cameras (HSCs). Higher
spectral resolution enables material identification via spectroscopic analysis,
which facilitates countless applications that require identifying materials in
scenarios unsuitable for classical spectroscopic analysis. Due to low spatial
resolution of HSCs, microscopic material mixing, and multiple scattering,
spectra measured by HSCs are mixtures of spectra of materials in a scene. Thus,
accurate estimation requires unmixing. Pixels are assumed to be mixtures of a
few materials, called endmembers. Unmixing involves estimating all or some of:
the number of endmembers, their spectral signatures, and their abundances at
each pixel. Unmixing is a challenging, ill-posed inverse problem because of
model inaccuracies, observation noise, environmental conditions, endmember
variability, and data set size. Researchers have devised and investigated many
models searching for robust, stable, tractable, and accurate unmixing
algorithms. This paper presents an overview of unmixing methods from the time
of Keshava and Mustard's unmixing tutorial [1] to the present. Mixing models
are first discussed. Signal-subspace, geometrical, statistical, sparsity-based,
and spatial-contextual unmixing algorithms are described. Mathematical problems
and potential solutions are described. Algorithm characteristics are
illustrated experimentally.Comment: This work has been accepted for publication in IEEE Journal of

Nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images: Models and algorithms
When considering the problem of unmixing hyperspectral images, most of the literature in the geoscience and image processing areas relies on the widely used linear mixing model (LMM). However, the LMM may be not valid, and other nonlinear models need to be considered, for instance, when there are multiscattering effects or intimate interactions. Consequently, over the last few years, several significant contributions have been proposed to overcome the limitations inherent in the LMM. In this article, we present an overview of recent advances in nonlinear unmixing modeling
Bi-Objective Nonnegative Matrix Factorization: Linear Versus Kernel-Based Models
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a powerful class of feature
extraction techniques that has been successfully applied in many fields, namely
in signal and image processing. Current NMF techniques have been limited to a
single-objective problem in either its linear or nonlinear kernel-based
formulation. In this paper, we propose to revisit the NMF as a multi-objective
problem, in particular a bi-objective one, where the objective functions
defined in both input and feature spaces are taken into account. By taking the
advantage of the sum-weighted method from the literature of multi-objective
optimization, the proposed bi-objective NMF determines a set of nondominated,
Pareto optimal, solutions instead of a single optimal decomposition. Moreover,
the corresponding Pareto front is studied and approximated. Experimental
results on unmixing real hyperspectral images confirm the efficiency of the
proposed bi-objective NMF compared with the state-of-the-art methods
Nonlinear Hyperspectral Unmixing With Robust Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
International audienceWe introduce a robust mixing model to describe hyperspectral data resulting from the mixture of several pure spectral signatures. The new model extends the commonly used linear mixing model by introducing an additional term accounting for possible nonlinear effects, that are treated as sparsely distributed additive outliers.With the standard nonnegativity and sum-to-one constraints inherent to spectral unmixing, our model leads to a new form of robust nonnegative matrix factorization with a group-sparse outlier term. The factorization is posed as an optimization problem which is addressed with a block-coordinate descent algorithm involving majorization-minimization updates. Simulation results obtained on synthetic and real data show that the proposed strategy competes with state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear unmixing methods
Robust Linear Spectral Unmixing using Anomaly Detection
This paper presents a Bayesian algorithm for linear spectral unmixing of
hyperspectral images that accounts for anomalies present in the data. The model
proposed assumes that the pixel reflectances are linear mixtures of unknown
endmembers, corrupted by an additional nonlinear term modelling anomalies and
additive Gaussian noise. A Markov random field is used for anomaly detection
based on the spatial and spectral structures of the anomalies. This allows
outliers to be identified in particular regions and wavelengths of the data
cube. A Bayesian algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters involved in
the model yielding a joint linear unmixing and anomaly detection algorithm.
Simulations conducted with synthetic and real hyperspectral images demonstrate
the accuracy of the proposed unmixing and outlier detection strategy for the
analysis of hyperspectral images
Robust nonnegative matrix factorization for nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images
International audienceThis paper introduces a robust linear model to describe hyperspectral data arising from the mixture of several pure spectral signatures. This new model not only generalizes the commonly used linear mixing model but also allows for possible nonlinear effects to be handled, relying on mild assumptions regarding these nonlinearities. Based on this model, a nonlinear unmixing procedure is proposed. The standard nonnegativity and sum-to-one constraints inherent to spectral unmixing are coupled with a group-sparse constraint imposed on the nonlinearity component. The resulting objective function is minimized using a multiplicative algorithm. Simulation results obtained on synthetic and real data show that the proposed strategy competes with state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear unmixing methods
