Title: Method of identifying endmember spectral values from hyperspectral image data
Inventor: BERMAN MARK
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2003-04-04
Abstract: A computer implemented method of analysing multispectral image data obtained from a multispectral scanner is disclosed. The method involves identifying endmember spectral values from the data, where each data value is equal to a sum of mixing proportions of each endmember spectrum. The method includes the steps of processing the data to obtain a multidimensional simplex having a number of vertices equal to the number of endmembers. The position of each vertex represents a spectrum of one of the endmembers. Processing the data is conducted by providing starting estimates of each endmember spectrum for each image data value. The mixing proportions for each data value are estimated from estimates of the spectra of all the endmembers. The spectrum of each endmember is estimated from estimates of the mixing proportions of the spectra of all the endmembers for each image data value. The estimation steps are repeated until a relative change in the regularised residual sum of squares is sufficiently small. The regularised residual sum of squares includes a term which is a measure of the size of the simplex.
