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
Dictionary-based Tensor Canonical Polyadic Decomposition
To ensure interpretability of extracted sources in tensor decomposition, we
introduce in this paper a dictionary-based tensor canonical polyadic
decomposition which enforces one factor to belong exactly to a known
dictionary. A new formulation of sparse coding is proposed which enables high
dimensional tensors dictionary-based canonical polyadic decomposition. The
benefits of using a dictionary in tensor decomposition models are explored both
in terms of parameter identifiability and estimation accuracy. Performances of
the proposed algorithms are evaluated on the decomposition of simulated data
and the unmixing of hyperspectral images
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

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
Spectral Unmixing with Multiple Dictionaries
Spectral unmixing aims at recovering the spectral signatures of materials,
called endmembers, mixed in a hyperspectral or multispectral image, along with
their abundances. A typical assumption is that the image contains one pure
pixel per endmember, in which case spectral unmixing reduces to identifying
these pixels. Many fully automated methods have been proposed in recent years,
but little work has been done to allow users to select areas where pure pixels
are present manually or using a segmentation algorithm. Additionally, in a
non-blind approach, several spectral libraries may be available rather than a
single one, with a fixed number (or an upper or lower bound) of endmembers to
chose from each. In this paper, we propose a multiple-dictionary constrained
low-rank matrix approximation model that address these two problems. We propose
an algorithm to compute this model, dubbed M2PALS, and its performance is
discussed on both synthetic and real hyperspectral images
