Abstract

Performing standard unmixing of a hyperspectral image, while taking into account all of the potential endmembers (EMs) in a pixel, is known to be prone to error. Instead, determining first the set of EMs that actually reside in each pixel, leads to enhanced unmixing results. This important insight for achieving higher unmixing accuracy can be exploited efficiently by extracting relevant spatial information from a given image. In this work, we present a new method for spatially adaptive spectral unmixing, called the Gaussian based spatially adaptive unmixing (GBSAU) method. GBSAU takes advantage of the spatial arrangement of the image pixels and their spectral relations in order to determine an actual subset of EMs per pixel. It is based on spatial localization of the EMs by fitting, for each EM, the parameters of the series of spatial Gaussians whose sum represents the EM's fraction surface over the image.
