Distributed Unmixing of Hyperspectral Data With Sparsity Constraint
Spectral unmixing (SU) is a data processing problem in hyperspectral remote
sensing. The significant challenge in the SU problem is how to identify
endmembers and their weights, accurately. For estimation of signature and
fractional abundance matrices in a blind problem, nonnegative matrix
factorization (NMF) and its developments are used widely in the SU problem. One
of the constraints which was added to NMF is sparsity constraint that was
regularized by L 1/2 norm. In this paper, a new algorithm based on distributed
optimization has been used for spectral unmixing. In the proposed algorithm, a
network including single-node clusters has been employed. Each pixel in
hyperspectral images considered as a node in this network. The distributed
unmixing with sparsity constraint has been optimized with diffusion LMS
strategy, and then the update equations for fractional abundance and signature
matrices are obtained. Simulation results based on defined performance metrics,
illustrate advantage of the proposed algorithm in spectral unmixing of
hyperspectral data compared with other methods. The results show that the AAD
and SAD of the proposed approach are improved respectively about 6 and 27
percent toward distributed unmixing in SNR=25dB.Comment: 6 pages, conference pape
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

On-line blind unmixing for hyperspectral pushbroom imaging systems
International audienceIn this paper, the on-line hyperspectral image blind unmixing is addressed. Inspired by the Incremental Non-negative Matrix Factorization (INMF) method, we propose an on-line NMF which is adapted to the acquisition scheme of a pushbroom imager. Because of the non-uniqueness of the NMF model, a minimum volume constraint on the endmembers is added allowing to reduce the set of admissible solutions. This results in a stable algorithm yielding results similar to those of standard off-line NMF methods, but drastically reducing the computation time. The algorithm is applied to wood hyperspectral images showing that such a technique is effective for the on-line prediction of wood piece rendering after finishing.

Bayesian Nonnegative Matrix Factorization with Volume Prior for Unmixing of Hyperspectral Images
In hyperspectral image analysis the objective is to unmix a set of acquired pixels into pure spectral signatures (endmembers) and corresponding fractional abundances. The Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) methods have received a lot of attention for this unmixing process. Many of these NMF based unmixing algorithms are based on sparsity regularization encouraging pure spectral endmembers, but this is not optimal for certain applications, such as foods, where abundances are not sparse. The pixels will theoretically lie on a simplex and hence the endmembers can be estimated as the vertices of the smallest enclosing simplex. In this context we present a Bayesian framework employing a volume constraint for the NMF algorithm, where the posterior distribution is numerically sampled from using a Gibbs sampling procedure. We evaluate the method on synthetical and real hyperspectral data of wheat kernels. 1
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
A geometric approach to archetypal analysis and non-negative matrix factorization
Archetypal analysis and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) are staples
in a statisticians toolbox for dimension reduction and exploratory data
analysis. We describe a geometric approach to both NMF and archetypal analysis
by interpreting both problems as finding extreme points of the data cloud. We
also develop and analyze an efficient approach to finding extreme points in
high dimensions. For modern massive datasets that are too large to fit on a
single machine and must be stored in a distributed setting, our approach makes
only a small number of passes over the data. In fact, it is possible to obtain
the NMF or perform archetypal analysis with just two passes over the data.Comment: 36 pages, 13 figure
