The radiometric properties of the modules have been characterized based on laboratory measurements and appropriate data correction methods have been developed. The UAVSpec series spectrometer systems have been in operational use for several years and have been proven to be valuable tools for airborne, as well as on-ground and laboratory measurements. They are suitable for being carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle, which could make the measurement truly autonomous and independent of any service provider.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"46 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":"130721529","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}

However, they are often not preferred in hyperspectral image analysis due to long processing times caused by a high number of support vectors and large data sets. We present two approaches that speed-up the classification process with SVM by a) simplifying the original SVM, i.e. reducing the number of support vectors, and b) reducing the number of features by selecting relevant, non-redundant features. Results for three classification problems are shown. By applying the two approaches, we observe reduction rates a) between 9.1% and 27.2% for the number of support vectors and b) from 86.8% to 93.0% of features, both without significant decreases in classification accuracy. This enables a fast mapping of complete hyperspectral scenes.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"1 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":"131359131","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}

Anomaly detection detects pixels in the hyperspectral data cube whose spectra differ significantly from the background spectra [1]. Most existing methods estimate the spectra of the (local or global) background and then detect anomalies as pixels with a large spectral distance w.r.t. the determined background spectra. Many types of anomaly detectors have been proposed in literature. This paper reports on a sensitivity study that tries to determine an adequate pre-processing chain for anomaly detection in hyperspectral scenes.

However, not much attention has been given to the collinearity problem in spectral unmixing. In this paper, quantitative analysis and detailed simulations are provided which show that the high correlation between the endmembers, including the virtual endmembers introduced in a nonlinear model, has a strong impact on unmixing errors through inflating the Gaussian noise. While distinctive spectra with low correlations are often selected as true endmembers, the virtual endmembers formed by their product terms can be highly correlated with others. Therefore, it is found that a nonlinear model generally suffers the collinearity problem more in comparison with a linear model and may not perform as expected when the Gaussian noise is high, despite its higher modeling power. Experiments were conducted to illustrate the effects.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"27 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":"132438432","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}
