This variability is typically represented by probability distributions or spectral libraries. The present work describes a new distributional representation based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). The most common form in this setting is the Normal Compositional Model (NCM), wherein the endmembers for each pixel are modeled as samples drawn from unimodal Gaussians. In reality, however, the distribution of spectra from a material may be multi-modal. We first show that a linear combination of GMM random variables is also a GMM. This allows us to probabilistically formulate hyperspectral pixel likelihoods as combinations of independent endmember random variables. Then, after adding a reasonable smoothness and sparsity prior on the abundances, we obtain a standard Bayesian maximum a posteriori (MAP) problem for abundance and endmember parameter estimation. A generalized expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is used to minimize the MAP objective function. We tested the GMM approach on two real datasets, and showcased its efficacy for modeling endmember variability by comparing it to current popular methods.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"239 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":"133796609","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}

Topographic dictionaries are an arranged set of basis elements in which neighbored dictionary elements tend to cause similar activations in the SR approach. In this paper, the dictionary is obtained from samples of a healthy plant and partly build in a topographic way by using hyperspectral as well as geometry information, i.e. depth and inclination. It turns out that hyperspectral signals of leafs show a typical structure depending on depth and inclination and thus, both influences can be disentangled in our approach. Rare signals which do not fit into this model, e.g. leaf veins, are also captured in the dictionary in a non-topographic way. A reconstruction error index is used as indicator, in which disease symptoms can be distinguished from healthy plant regions. The advantage of the presented approach is that full spectral and geometry information is needed only once to built the dictionary, whereas the sparse reconstruction is done solely on hyperspectral information.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"21 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":"115688389","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 contrary to previous methods, we investigate the registration of hyperspectral images with no-overlapping bands in MWIR and LWIR range in this paper. The proposed approach achieves the image registration over 2D maps extracted from 3D hyperspectral data cubes. Considering that the main component of the captured signal in MWIR-LWIR range is thermal radiation, we first propose to use the brightness-temperature estimate of hyperspectral pixels to form the 2D image. In addition, hyperspectral pixel energy, average emissivity and the first three components of principal component analysis (PCA) transform are also utilized and tested for 3D-2D conversion. The performance of the methods are evaluated by the matching ratio of the interest points and by generating mosaic images from the given maps. The experimental results indicate that brightness-temperature estimate, pixel energy and first principal component gives comparable results for image matching. The emissivity maps and the remaining principal components are found to be not successful for image registration as these features do not form a common base for different band signals.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"9 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":"123390127","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 propose a novel Gaussian process based multitask learning method for improving the prediction of a biochemical through the transfer of knowledge from the learned models for predicting related biochemicals. This method is most advantageous when there are few ground truth data for the biochemical of interest, but plenty of ground truth data for related biochemicals. The proposed multitask Gaussian process hypothesizes that the inter-relationship between the biochemical quantities is better modeled by using a combination of two or more covariance functions and inter-task correlation matrices.

It is possible to achieve a thorough description of the abundances of each mineral the considered scene is composed of by applying proper deconvolution techniques such as those based on modified Gaussian model (MGM). However, MGM-based methods are sensitive on initial parameters for statistical distribution definition, or they are very time consuming when fully automatized. In this paper, a new method for identification of minerals on Mars surface by means of higher order nonlinear hyperspectral unmixing framework is introduced. Abundance distribution of magmatic minerals (olivine and pyroxenes) compounds is retrieved according to polytope decomposition algorithm. Experimental results show how the proposed method is able to provide actual abundance maps which are highly correlated to those obtained by an automatized MGM-based technique.","PeriodicalId":369281,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)","volume":"6 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":"122093781","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}

Challenges remain as to how to do the cloud segmentation using machine-based approaches.
