Nonnegative Block-Term Decomposition with the β-Divergence: Joint Data Fusion and Blind Spectral Unmixing

Abstract

We present a new method for solving simultaneously hyperspectral super-resolution and spectral unmixing of the unknown super-resolution image. Our method relies on three key elements: (1) the nonnegative decomposition in rank-(Lr, Lr, 1) block-terms, (2) joint tensor factorization with multiplicative updates, and (3) the formulation of a family of optimization problems with β-divergences objective functions. We come up with a family of simple, robust and efficient algorithms, adaptable to various noise statistics. Experiments show that our approach competes favorably with state-of-the-art methods for solving both problems at hand for various noise statistics.
