Obtaining the best spectral representations of such materials with respect to a given application is critical for both identification and spatial mapping. Recently, a multiscaled-band partitioning (MSBP) approach has been developed for detecting and clustering spectrally similar but physically distinct materials. In this work, it is examined 1) whether the endmember clusters of the multiscaled-band partitioning contribute to an improved abundance estimation compared to other endmember extraction methods and, 2) to what extent different unmixing strategies can retain the spectral variability of the extracted endmember clusters in the resulted abundance maps. Experiments were conducted using an airborne hyperspectral dataset highlighting the potential of MSBP for the unmixing process in case of materials with intra-class variability.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131271116","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}

Although many CD works exist using spatial information or spectral information only, few works have incorporated both in the CD process.

Results show that incorporating both spatial and spectral information has an advantage over either one independently. Additionally, incorporating spatial and spectral information in the CD process adds some robustness in the presence of misregistration errors.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115555081","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 best fit to the model was achieved by postprocessing manipulation of the spectra, namely second derivate transformation. Using stepwise elimination process, four spectral wavelengths, as well as roughness index, were selected for modeling. The resulted models allow predicting the albedo of a soil at specific roughness for any solar zenithal angle, provided that hyperspectral reflectance data is available.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132165735","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, there are still some difficulties that need specific attentions, such as the lack of enough labeled samples for training the classifier and the high dimensionality problem, which degrade the supervised classification performance dramatically. The main idea of semisupervised learning is to overcome the contribution of unlabeled samples, which are available in an enormous amount. In this paper, we propose a graph-based semisupervised classification method, using both spectral and spatial information. More specifically, two graphs are constructed and each one exploits the relationship among pixels in spectral and spatial spaces respectively. Then, the Laplacians of both constructed graphs are merged in order to form a weighted joint graph. The experimental results are carried out on Indian Pine AVIRIS image data. The efficiency and the excellent performance of the proposed method is clearly observed in comparison with well-known supervised classification methods, such as SVM, in both terms of accuracy and homogeneity of the produced classified maps.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114081431","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 work we propose a set of endmembers associating semantics of field data for snow endmembers with the extraction of a set in a date without snow for other materials. A heterogeneous area in the Alps was considered in the experiment. Considering reference maps of snow available for several dates, Precision and Mean Absolute Error were computed for evaluating the estimated Snow Cover Fractions.
