The algorithm was extremely stable in the number of endmembers when compared to the SPICE algorithm and the Virtual Dimensionality methods for estimating the number of endmembers. Furthermore, the results shown for this algorithm were generated with the same parameter set for all of the data sets, from two-dimensional data to 51-dimensional real hyperspectral data. This indicates L1-Endmembers may lack of sensitivity to parameter value settings.","PeriodicalId":406785,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126027464","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 paper closely examined scattering characteristics of such clutter objects by using numerical simulations. From the numerical study, we found that some clutter objects, which mainly causes the false alarms, produce multiple resonances at different frequencies and different polarizations. Based on these observations, we developed new classification algorithms which utilize the frequency-polarization dependent responses of complex targets in order to discriminate UXO-like objects form such trouble some clutters. The developed algorithms were tested by experiments in a test plot. In the test, the new classification algorithms clearly discriminated such clutters from UXO-like targets. In this paper, we present the simulation results for scattering characteristics of complex clutters and the new classification algorithm based on frequency-polarization dependent responses will be discussed. Finally, results from experimental verification will be presented.","PeriodicalId":406785,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123678469","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}

Shortly, this paper introduces HFSW radars and gives an overview of the MCA. Then, numerical results from simulated data illustrate the MCA-based target detection method.

Only the intersection points of the moving vehicle signals with the a priori known road axes, which are mapped into the range-compressed data domain, are evaluated.

The algorithms analyzed in our study rely on different principles, and their performance is quantitatively assessed using both simulated and real hyperspectral data sets. The experimental validation of sparse techniques conducted in this work indicates promising results of this new approach to attack the spectral unmixing problem in remotely sensed hyperspectral images.","PeriodicalId":406785,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126932201","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}
