Learning A Low-Coherence Dictionary to Address Spectral Variability for Hyperspectral Unmixing

This paper presents a novel spectral mixture model to address spectral variability in inverse problems of hyperspectral unmixing. Based on the linear mixture model (LMM), our model introduces a spectral variability dictionary to account for any residuals that cannot be explained by the LMM. Atoms in the dictionary are assumed to be low-coherent with spectral signatures of endmembers. A dictionary learning technique is proposed to learn the spectral variability dictionary while solving unmixing problems simultaneously. Experimental results on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is superior to state-of-the-art methods
