Collaborative Representation-Based Binary Hypothesis Model with Multi-features Learning for Target Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a collaborative representation-based binary hypothesis model with multi-features learning (CRTDBH-MTL) for target detection in hyperspectral imagery. The proposed method contained the following aspects. First, two complementary features extracted by different algorithms are implemented for describing hyperspectral imageries. Next, we apply these features into the unified collaborative representation-based binary hypothesis model (CRTDBH) to acquire a collaborative vector (CV) for each feature. Once the CV is obtained, the sample can be sparsely represented by the training samples from the background-only dictionary under the null hypothesis and the training samples from the target and background dictionaries under the alternative hypothesis. Finally, spatial correlation and spectral similarity of adjacent neighboring pixels are exploited to improve the detection performance. The experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm shows an outstanding detection performance.
