Abstract
Hyperspectral images are mixtures of spectra of materials in a scene. Accurate analysis of hyperspectral image requires spectral unmixing. The result of spectral unmixing is the material spectral signatures and their corresponding fractions. The materials are called endmembers. Endmember extraction equals to acquire spectral signatures of the materials. In this study, the authors propose a new hyperspectral endmember extraction algorithm for hyperspectral image based on QR factorisation using Givens rotations (EEGR). Evaluation of the algorithm is demonstrated by comparing its performance with two popular endmember extraction methods, which are vertex component analysis (VCA) and maximum volume by householder transformation (MVHT). Both simulated mixtures and real hyperspectral image are applied to the three algorithms, and the quantitative analysis of them is presented. EEGR exhibits better performance than VCA and MVHT. Moreover, EEGR algorithm is convenient to implement parallel computing for real-time applications based on the hardware features of Givens rotations.
