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

Hyperspectral Image Analysis through Unsupervised Deep Learning
Hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis has become an active research area in computer vision field with a wide range of applications. However, in order to yield better recognition and analysis results, we need to address two challenging issues of HSI, i.e., the existence of mixed pixels and its significantly low spatial resolution (LR). In this dissertation, spectral unmixing (SU) and hyperspectral image super-resolution (HSI-SR) approaches are developed to address these two issues with advanced deep learning models in an unsupervised fashion. A specific application, anomaly detection, is also studied, to show the importance of SU.Although deep learning has achieved the state-of-the-art performance on supervised problems, its practice on unsupervised problems has not been fully developed. To address the problem of SU, an untied denoising autoencoder is proposed to decompose the HSI into endmembers and abundances with non-negative and abundance sum-to-one constraints. The denoising capacity is incorporated into the network with a sparsity constraint to boost the performance of endmember extraction and abundance estimation.Moreover, the first attempt is made to solve the problem of HSI-SR using an unsupervised encoder-decoder architecture by fusing the LR HSI with the high-resolution multispectral image (MSI). The architecture is composed of two encoder-decoder networks, coupled through a shared decoder, to preserve the rich spectral information from the HSI network. It encourages the representations from both modalities to follow a sparse Dirichlet distribution which naturally incorporates the two physical constraints of HSI and MSI. And the angular difference between representations are minimized to reduce the spectral distortion.Finally, a novel detection algorithm is proposed through spectral unmixing and dictionary based low-rank decomposition, where the dictionary is constructed with mean-shift clustering and the coefficients of the dictionary is encouraged to be low-rank. Experimental evaluations show significant improvement on the performance of anomaly detection conducted on the abundances (through SU).The effectiveness of the proposed approaches has been evaluated thoroughly by extensive experiments, to achieve the state-of-the-art results
Image Restoration for Remote Sensing: Overview and Toolbox
Remote sensing provides valuable information about objects or areas from a
distance in either active (e.g., RADAR and LiDAR) or passive (e.g.,
multispectral and hyperspectral) modes. The quality of data acquired by
remotely sensed imaging sensors (both active and passive) is often degraded by
a variety of noise types and artifacts. Image restoration, which is a vibrant
field of research in the remote sensing community, is the task of recovering
the true unknown image from the degraded observed image. Each imaging sensor
induces unique noise types and artifacts into the observed image. This fact has
led to the expansion of restoration techniques in different paths according to
each sensor type. This review paper brings together the advances of image
restoration techniques with particular focuses on synthetic aperture radar and
hyperspectral images as the most active sub-fields of image restoration in the
remote sensing community. We, therefore, provide a comprehensive,
discipline-specific starting point for researchers at different levels (i.e.,
students, researchers, and senior researchers) willing to investigate the
vibrant topic of data restoration by supplying sufficient detail and
references. Additionally, this review paper accompanies a toolbox to provide a
platform to encourage interested students and researchers in the field to
further explore the restoration techniques and fast-forward the community. The
toolboxes are provided in https://github.com/ImageRestorationToolbox.Comment: This paper is under review in GRS
スペクトルの線形性を考慮したハイパースペクトラル画像のノイズ除去とアンミキシングに関する研究
This study aims to generalize color line to M-dimensional spectral line feature (M>3) and introduce methods for denoising and unmixing of hyperspectral images based on the spectral linearity.For denoising, we propose a local spectral component decomposition method based on the spectral line. We first calculate the spectral line of an M-channel image, then using the line, we decompose the image into three components: a single M-channel image and two gray-scale images. By virtue of the decomposition, the noise is concentrated on the two images, thus the algorithm needs to denoise only two grayscale images, regardless of the number of channels. For unmixing, we propose an algorithm that exploits the low-rank local abundance by applying the unclear norm to the abundance matrix for local regions of spatial and abundance domains. In optimization problem, the local abundance regularizer is collaborated with the L2, 1 norm and the total variation.北九州市立大
