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
Collaborative sparse regression using spatially correlated supports - Application to hyperspectral unmixing
This paper presents a new Bayesian collaborative sparse regression method for
linear unmixing of hyperspectral images. Our contribution is twofold; first, we
propose a new Bayesian model for structured sparse regression in which the
supports of the sparse abundance vectors are a priori spatially correlated
across pixels (i.e., materials are spatially organised rather than randomly
distributed at a pixel level). This prior information is encoded in the model
through a truncated multivariate Ising Markov random field, which also takes
into consideration the facts that pixels cannot be empty (i.e, there is at
least one material present in each pixel), and that different materials may
exhibit different degrees of spatial regularity. Secondly, we propose an
advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to estimate the posterior
probabilities that materials are present or absent in each pixel, and,
conditionally to the maximum marginal a posteriori configuration of the
support, compute the MMSE estimates of the abundance vectors. A remarkable
property of this algorithm is that it self-adjusts the values of the parameters
of the Markov random field, thus relieving practitioners from setting
regularisation parameters by cross-validation. The performance of the proposed
methodology is finally demonstrated through a series of experiments with
synthetic and real data and comparisons with other algorithms from the
literature
Joint Bayesian endmember extraction and linear unmixing for hyperspectral imagery
This paper studies a fully Bayesian algorithm for endmember extraction and
abundance estimation for hyperspectral imagery. Each pixel of the hyperspectral
image is decomposed as a linear combination of pure endmember spectra following
the linear mixing model. The estimation of the unknown endmember spectra is
conducted in a unified manner by generating the posterior distribution of
abundances and endmember parameters under a hierarchical Bayesian model. This
model assumes conjugate prior distributions for these parameters, accounts for
non-negativity and full-additivity constraints, and exploits the fact that the
endmember proportions lie on a lower dimensional simplex. A Gibbs sampler is
proposed to overcome the complexity of evaluating the resulting posterior
distribution. This sampler generates samples distributed according to the
posterior distribution and estimates the unknown parameters using these
generated samples. The accuracy of the joint Bayesian estimator is illustrated
by simulations conducted on synthetic and real AVIRIS images
Semi-supervised linear spectral unmixing using a hierarchical Bayesian model for hyperspectral imagery
This paper proposes a hierarchical Bayesian model that can be used for semi-supervised hyperspectral image unmixing. The model assumes that the pixel reflectances result from linear combinations of pure component spectra contaminated by an additive Gaussian noise. The abundance parameters appearing in this model satisfy positivity and additivity constraints. These constraints are naturally expressed in a Bayesian context by using appropriate abundance prior distributions. The posterior distributions of the unknown model parameters are then derived. A Gibbs sampler allows one to draw samples distributed according to the posteriors of interest and to estimate the unknown abundances. An extension of the algorithm is finally studied for mixtures with unknown numbers of spectral components belonging to a know library. The performance of the different unmixing strategies is evaluated via simulations conducted on synthetic and real data
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
Inertia-Constrained Pixel-by-Pixel Nonnegative Matrix Factorisation: a Hyperspectral Unmixing Method Dealing with Intra-class Variability
Blind source separation is a common processing tool to analyse the
constitution of pixels of hyperspectral images. Such methods usually suppose
that pure pixel spectra (endmembers) are the same in all the image for each
class of materials. In the framework of remote sensing, such an assumption is
no more valid in the presence of intra-class variabilities due to illumination
conditions, weathering, slight variations of the pure materials, etc... In this
paper, we first describe the results of investigations highlighting intra-class
variability measured in real images. Considering these results, a new
formulation of the linear mixing model is presented leading to two new methods.
Unconstrained Pixel-by-pixel NMF (UP-NMF) is a new blind source separation
method based on the assumption of a linear mixing model, which can deal with
intra-class variability. To overcome UP-NMF limitations an extended method is
proposed, named Inertia-constrained Pixel-by-pixel NMF (IP-NMF). For each
sensed spectrum, these extended versions of NMF extract a corresponding set of
source spectra. A constraint is set to limit the spreading of each source's
estimates in IP-NMF. The methods are tested on a semi-synthetic data set built
with spectra extracted from a real hyperspectral image and then numerically
mixed. We thus demonstrate the interest of our methods for realistic source
variabilities. Finally, IP-NMF is tested on a real data set and it is shown to
yield better performance than state of the art methods
Adaptive Markov random fields for joint unmixing and segmentation of hyperspectral image
Linear spectral unmixing is a challenging problem in hyperspectral imaging that consists of decomposing an observed pixel into a linear combination of pure spectra (or endmembers) with their corresponding proportions (or abundances). Endmember extraction algorithms can be employed for recovering the spectral signatures while abundances are estimated using an inversion step. Recent works have shown that exploiting spatial dependencies between image pixels can improve spectral unmixing. Markov random fields (MRF) are classically used to model these spatial correlations and partition the image into multiple classes with homogeneous abundances. This paper proposes to define the MRF sites using similarity regions. These regions are built using a self-complementary area filter that stems from the morphological theory. This kind of filter divides the original image into flat zones where the underlying pixels have the same spectral values. Once the MRF has been clearly established, a hierarchical Bayesian algorithm is proposed to estimate the abundances, the class labels, the noise variance, and the corresponding hyperparameters. A hybrid Gibbs sampler is constructed to generate samples according to the corresponding posterior distribution of the unknown parameters and hyperparameters. Simulations conducted on synthetic and real AVIRIS data demonstrate the good performance of the algorithm
