A Gibbs sampler for piece-wise convex hyperspectral unmixing and endmember detection is presented. The standard linear mixing model used for hyperspectral unmixing assumes that hyperspectral data reside in a single convex region. However, hyperspectral data is often nonconvex. Furthermore, in standard unmixing methods, endmembers are generally represented as a single point in the high dimension...

Deep learning networks based on CNNs or transformers have made progress in spectral reconstruction (SR). However, many methods focus solely feature extraction, overlooking the interpretability of network design. Additionally, models exclusively may lose other prior information, sacrificing accuracy and robustness. In this paper, we propose a novel Unmixing-Guided Convolutional Transformer Netwo...

a r t i c l e i n f o The focus of the current study is to compare data fusion methods applied to sensors with medium-and high-spatial resolutions. Two documented methods are applied, the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (STARFM) and an unmixing-based method which proposes a Bayesian formulation to incorporate prior spectral information. Furthermore, the strengths of both ...

Soil erosion rates in alpine regions are related to high spatial variability complicating assessment of risk and damages. A crucial parameter triggering soil erosion that can be derived from satellite imagery is fractional vegetation cover (FVC). The objective of this study is to assess the applicability of normalized differenced vegetation index (NDVI), linear spectral unmixing (LSU) andmixtur...

Over the past years, many algorithms have been developed for multispectral and hyperspectral image classification. A general approach to mixed pixel classification is linear spectral unmixing, which uses a linear mixture model to estimate the abundance fractions of signatures within a mixed pixel. As a result, the images generated for classification are usually gray scale images, where the gray...

In hyperspectral unmixing, the objective is to decompose an electromagnetic spectral dataset measured over M spectral bands and T pixels, into N constituent material spectra (or “endmembers”) with corresponding spatial abundances. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to hyperspectral unmixing (i.e., joint estimation of endmembers and abundances) based on loopy belief propagation. In parti...
