Standard detection and classification algorithms applied to hyperspectral data are hindered by environmental factors that alter the statistics of the data such as sun intensity, atmospheric conditions or soil properties. Detection and classification algorithms operating on HSI must account for the changing context underlying each observation for robust performance. This work focuses on algorithms that incorporate knowledge of underlying context for the discrimination of landmine responses from other surface or sub-surface anomalies using airborne HSI. This work compares both generative context models, that model context at a given location using features of the surrounding data, and discriminative context models that determine the context at a given location to maximize performance. Both approaches utilize a Dirichlet process prior to infer the number of contexts within the data without the need to explicitly label the context of each image or location within the image. Results indicate that Dirichlet process based generative context clustering determines contexts that are congruent with physical characteristics such as time of day, but does not necessarily lead to performance improvements. Dirichlet process based discriminative clustering, however, yields performance greater than a labeled generative approach.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116893924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide a physical explanation for the correlation using the spectral invariants of the radiative transfer. The spectral invariant approach allows for a very accurate parameterization of the canopy reflectance in terms of the wavelength dependant single scattering albedo and two spectrally invariant and structurally varying parameters-recollision and escape probabilities. The spectral invariant parameters depend on macro-scale structural features such as crown shape and size, the proportion of sunlit and shaded leaves and ground cover, as well as micro-scale information such as within crown foliage distribution. We retrieve the spectral invariant parameters from Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) hyperspectral data for 3 sites in New England and 2 sites in the southeastern United States for which ground data on mass-based foliar %N were available. Theoretical and statistical analyses showed that canopy structure is highly correlated to canopy albedo, R2=94, suggesting that canopy structure is a dominant factor causing observed variation in NIR albedo. We therefore hypothesize that the amount of canopy nitrogen may have an indirect impact on NIR albedo through the formation of macro-scale features. Finally we show that we can predict the amount of canopy nitrogen more accurately using the macro-scale features than canopy albedo indicating that competing factors at the leaf and canopy scales are imbued in the measured albedo signal.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126012409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global approaches to background subspace estimation and suppression may be ineffective for target detection purposes. In fact, they tend to overestimate the background interference affecting a specific target. This typically results in a low target residual energy after background suppression, which is detrimental to detection performance. In this work, a local methodology is investigated that estimates the local background subspace over a local neighborhood of each pixel. By acting on a per-pixel basis, the proposed method adaptively tailors the estimated basis to the local complexity of background and it is expected to yield a higher target residual energy after suppression, thus benefiting to detection performance. Real hyperspectral imagery is employed to show the detection performance improvement offered by this approach with respect to a conventional global methodology.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115590955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, one may fix the learning parameters, offer a functional-based parameter decay, or use a step-wise decrement of the learning parameters after a fixed number of training steps. Each of the three methods described rely on the expertise of user and do not necessarily lend themselves well to time-sensitive solutions. Classification methods based on the optimization of a cost function offer a clear advantage as this cost function can be used to adapt the learning schedule of the learning machine thus speeding convergence. We demonstrate this concept applied to variants of Sato & Yamada's Generalized Learning Vector Quantization and transition to the next set of learn rates at the appropriate time in the learning process. Experiments show that, by monitoring the stationarity of the cost function, one can automatically transition to the next learning parameter set significantly decreasing training times.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117069949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
