Ongoing debate about the origin of such streaks centers on whether they are the products of: 1) erosional processes related to ‘dry’ mass-wasting exposing a dark-toned substrate beneath a thin dust mantle; or 2) ‘wet’ processes associated with liquid seeps. Here, we employ hyperspectral CRISM images to determine the spectral properties of individual slope streaks, constrain their composition, and test possible formation mechanisms. Our results demonstrate that the slope streaks analyzed here form a spectrally distinct and compositionally unique class of active Martian surface features. Darkening through exposure of a pre-existing substrate, textural effects and/or persistent soil moisture are all unambiguously ruled out by the spectral observations, which instead point towards a transparent surface coating or enrichment in low-albedo ferric oxides as the most likely and spectrally permissible mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"7 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":"115055264","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}

In this paper, we give a comprehensive enumeration of the unmixing methods used in practice, because of their implementation in widely used software packages, and those published in the literature. We have structured the review according to the basic computational approach followed by the algorithms, with particular attention to those based on the computational geometry formulation, and statistical approaches with a probabilistic foundation.

These areas of application require powerful detection methods through the analysis of infrared spectral signatures and recognition algorithms.

Many of the existing hyper-spectral unmixing algorithms are based on Winter's belief, which states that the vertices of the maximum volume simplex inside the data cloud (observations) will yield high fidelity estimates of the endmember signatures if pure-pixels exist. Based on Winter's belief, we recently proposed a convex analysis based alternating volume maximization (AVMAX) algorithm. In this paper we develop a robust version of the AVMAX algorithm. Here, the presence of noise in the hyperspectral observations is taken into consideration with the original deterministic constraints suitably reformulated as probabilistic constraints. The subproblems involved are convex problems and they can be effectively solved using available convex optimization solvers. Monte Carlo simulations are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed RAVMAX algorithm over several existing pure-pixel based hyperspectral unmixing methods, including its predecessor, the AVMAX algorithm.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"24 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":"127710085","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}

This work led to a new physics-based kernel that allowed accurate unmixing of intimate mixtures. Unfortunately, the new physics-based kernel did not perform well on linear mixtures; thus, different kernels had to be used for different mixtures. Ideally, a single unified kernel that can perform both unmixing of areal and intimate mixtures would be desirable. This paper presents such a kernel that can automatically identify the underlying mixture type from the data and perform the correct unmixing method. Results on real-world, ground-truthed intimate and linear mixtures demonstrate the ability of this new data-driven kernel to perform generalized unmixing of hyperspectral data.","PeriodicalId":193944,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing","volume":"22 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":"121081642","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}

Recent technology developments have made this possible in the LWIR [2].
