Residual component analysis of hyperspectral images -- Application to joint nonlinear unmixing and nonlinearity detection

This paper presents a nonlinear mixing model for joint hyperspectral image unmixing and nonlinearity detection. The proposed model assumes that the pixel reflectances are linear combinations of known pure spectral components corrupted by an additional nonlinear term, affecting the endmembers and contaminated by an additive Gaussian noise. A Markov random field is considered for nonlinearity detection based on the spatial structure of the nonlinear terms. The observed image is segmented into regions where nonlinear terms, if present, share similar statistical properties. A Bayesian algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters involved in the model yielding a joint nonlinear unmixing and nonlinearity detection algorithm. The performance of the proposed strategy is first evaluated on synthetic data. Simulations conducted with real data show the accuracy of the proposed unmixing and nonlinearity detection strategy for the analysis of hyperspectral images.

Unsupervised Post-Nonlinear Unmixing of Hyperspectral Images Using a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Algorithm

This paper presents a nonlinear mixing model for hyperspectral image unmixing. The proposed model assumes that the pixel reflectances are post-nonlinear functions of unknown pure spectral components contaminated by an additive white Gaussian noise. These nonlinear functions are approximated using polynomials leading to a polynomial post-nonlinear mixing model. A Bayesian algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters involved in the model yielding an unsupervised nonlinear unmixing algorithm. Due to the large number of parameters to be estimated, an efficient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm is investigated. The classical leapfrog steps of this algorithm are modified to handle the parameter constraints. The performance of the unmixing strategy, including convergence and parameter tuning, is first evaluated on synthetic data. Simulations conducted with real data finally show the accuracy of the proposed unmixing strategy for the analysis of hyperspectral images.

Nonlinear spectral unmixing of hyperspectral images using Gaussian processes

This paper presents an unsupervised algorithm for nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images. The proposed model assumes that the pixel reflectances result from a nonlinear function of the abundance vectors associated with the pure spectral components. We assume that the spectral signatures of the pure components and the nonlinear function are unknown. The first step of the proposed method consists of the Bayesian estimation of the abundance vectors for all the image pixels and the nonlinear function relating the abundance vectors to the observations. The endmembers are subsequently estimated using Gaussian process regression. The performance of the unmixing strategy is evaluated with simulations conducted on synthetic and real data.
