IP are features of the image that capture information from its neighbors and are distinctive and stable under translation and rotation. IP operators for gray level images were proposed more than a decade ago and have since been studied extensively. IP are helpful in data reduction to reduce the computational burden of various algorithms by replacing an exhaustive search over the entire image domain by a probe into a concise set of highly informative points. The vector SIFT approach extends Lowe's IP operator that uses local extrema of Difference of Gaussian at multiple scales to detect interest point in gray level images by direct conversion of scalar operations such as scale-space generation, and extreme point detection into operations that take the vector nature of the image into consideration. Vector anisotropic diffusion is used for scale-space generation which enhances edges and improves IP detection. Experiments with hyperspectral images of different spatial resolutions and evaluation of IP found based on image registration is presented.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"9 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":"127986077","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}

For simulations SIOPS and water concentrations, representative for the Scheldt river, were used. The results shown that the approach is less sensitive to errors in the atmospheric correction or specific sensor noise. The idea is based on the development of a new minimization criteria for curve fitting. Instead of minimizing the difference between modeled and measured spectra using a simple RMSE, the RMSE is now combined with specific wavelet features. Several types of errors and noise are added to the simulated spectra to find robust features. Two minimization criteria were found which are almost insensitive to a white error and less sensitive to adjacency effects.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"98 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":"129570969","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}

The development of the MoDDIFS sensor is based on the integration of two innovative technologies: (1) the differential Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) radiometry technology found in the Compact Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (CATSI) previously developed by DRDC Valcartier, and (2) the HSI technology developed by Telops. The MoDDIFS sensor will offer the optical subtraction capability of the CATSI system but at high-spatial resolution using an MCT focal plane array of 84×84 pixels.

In this paper we propose an original method to retrieve the optical depth of the Martian aerosols over the targeted scene. The method is based on the dependence of the intensity of the CO2 gas absorption bands that mark the spectra with the amount of aerosols and with the geometry of the acquisition.

Space observatories benefit from the absence of atmospheric absorption, allowing to reach the very high sensitivities needed to perform 3D hyperspectral observations at relatively low angular resolution (4”). On the other hand, ground based facilities that suffer from strong atmospheric absorption make use of large (above 8m diameter) telescopes to perform sub-arcsecond resolution imaging through selected windows in the mid-infrared range. In this Paper, we present a method based on non-negative matrix factorization to merge data from space and ground based mid-IR telescopes in order combine the best sensitivity, spectral coverage and angular resolution. We prove the efficiency of this technique on real mid-IR astronomical data, and suggest that it can be applied to any hyper-spectral astronomical data-set.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"64 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":"117335757","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}

Two graph regularization methods, which differ in the approach used to construct the graph weights, are investigated. One utilizes only spectral information, while the other further incorporates local spatial information through a composite Gaussian heat kernel. The regularizer queries samples with greatest violation of the smoothness assumption based on the current model, then adjusts the decision function towards the direction that is most consistent with both labeled and unlabeled data. Experiments show excellent performance on both unlabeled and unseen data for 10 class hyperspectral image data acquired by AVIRIS, as compared to random sampling and the state-of-the-art SVMSIMPLE.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"133 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":"130984521","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}

One short-coming of many methods is the selection of highly correlated features; a characteristic of hyperspec-tral data. A novel stochastic feature selection method with three major components is presented. First, we present an optimized feature selection method that maximizes a heuristic using a simulated annealing search which increases the chance of avoiding locally optimum solutions. Second, we exploit local cross correlation pair-wise amongst classes of interest to select suitable features for class discrimination. Third, we adopt the concept of distributed spacing from the multi-objective optimization community to distribute features across the spectrum in order to select less correlated features. The classification performance of our semi-embedded feature selection and classification method is demonstrated on a 12-class textile hyperspectral classification problem under several noise realizations. These results are compared with a variety of feature selection methods that cover a broad range of approaches.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"14 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":"128358089","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}

As by-products of such alteration various precious metals (gold, silver, copper etc) form. Spectral matching techniques are traditionally used in geologic studies using hyperspectral data to generate surface mineral maps which allow to characterize hydrothermal alteration. Using a combination of Al-MgOh and FeOH absorption features we can link spectral features to mineral chemistry thus linking spectroscopy to geochemistry of alteration systems. With contextual image analysis techniques applied to ratio images of combined absorption features we can detect boundaries between alteration zones from hyperspectral data. This allows to reconstruct paleo fluid pathways and interpret these in terms of discharge and recharge areas which are important areas for mineral prospectivity of these systems. The facies successions are important indicators for the genetic nature of these systems.
