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

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
Interpretable Hyperspectral AI: When Non-Convex Modeling meets Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
Hyperspectral imaging, also known as image spectrometry, is a landmark
technique in geoscience and remote sensing (RS). In the past decade, enormous
efforts have been made to process and analyze these hyperspectral (HS) products
mainly by means of seasoned experts. However, with the ever-growing volume of
data, the bulk of costs in manpower and material resources poses new challenges
on reducing the burden of manual labor and improving efficiency. For this
reason, it is, therefore, urgent to develop more intelligent and automatic
approaches for various HS RS applications. Machine learning (ML) tools with
convex optimization have successfully undertaken the tasks of numerous
artificial intelligence (AI)-related applications. However, their ability in
handling complex practical problems remains limited, particularly for HS data,
due to the effects of various spectral variabilities in the process of HS
imaging and the complexity and redundancy of higher dimensional HS signals.
Compared to the convex models, non-convex modeling, which is capable of
characterizing more complex real scenes and providing the model
interpretability technically and theoretically, has been proven to be a
feasible solution to reduce the gap between challenging HS vision tasks and
currently advanced intelligent data processing models
Constrained low-tubal-rank tensor recovery for hyperspectral images mixed noise removal by bilateral random projections
In this paper, we propose a novel low-tubal-rank tensor recovery model, which
directly constrains the tubal rank prior for effectively removing the mixed
Gaussian and sparse noise in hyperspectral images. The constraints of
tubal-rank and sparsity can govern the solution of the denoised tensor in the
recovery procedure. To solve the constrained low-tubal-rank model, we develop
an iterative algorithm based on bilateral random projections to efficiently
solve the proposed model. The advantage of random projections is that the
approximation of the low-tubal-rank tensor can be obtained quite accurately in
an inexpensive manner. Experimental examples for hyperspectral image denoising
are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed
method.Comment: Accepted by IGARSS 201
Compressive Source Separation: Theory and Methods for Hyperspectral Imaging
With the development of numbers of high resolution data acquisition systems
and the global requirement to lower the energy consumption, the development of
efficient sensing techniques becomes critical. Recently, Compressed Sampling
(CS) techniques, which exploit the sparsity of signals, have allowed to
reconstruct signal and images with less measurements than the traditional
Nyquist sensing approach. However, multichannel signals like Hyperspectral
images (HSI) have additional structures, like inter-channel correlations, that
are not taken into account in the classical CS scheme. In this paper we exploit
the linear mixture of sources model, that is the assumption that the
multichannel signal is composed of a linear combination of sources, each of
them having its own spectral signature, and propose new sampling schemes
exploiting this model to considerably decrease the number of measurements
needed for the acquisition and source separation. Moreover, we give theoretical
lower bounds on the number of measurements required to perform reconstruction
of both the multichannel signal and its sources. We also proposed optimization
algorithms and extensive experimentation on our target application which is
HSI, and show that our approach recovers HSI with far less measurements and
computational effort than traditional CS approaches.Comment: 32 page
