Hyperspectral Data Unmixing Using GNMF Method and Sparseness Constraint
share
Hyperspectral images contain mixed pixels due to low spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors. Mixed pixels are pixels containing more than one distinct material called endmembers. The presence percentages of endmembers in mixed pixels are called abundance fractions. Spectral unmixing problem refers to decomposing these pixels into a set of endmembers and abundance fractions. Due to nonnegativity constraint on abundance fractions, nonnegative matrix factorization methods (NMF) have been widely used for solving spectral unmixing problem. In this paper we have used graph regularized (GNMF) method with sparseness constraint to unmix hyperspectral data. This method applied on simulated data using AVIRIS Indian Pines dataset and USGS library and results are quantified based on AAD and SAD measures. Results in comparison with other methods show that the proposed method can unmix data more effectively.
