Target detection in hyperspectral Imaging using logistic regression

Abstract

Target detection is an important application in hyperspectral imaging. Conventional algorithms for target detection assume that the pixels have a multivariate normal distribution. The pixels in most images do not have multivariate normal distributions. The logistic regression model, which does not require the assumption of multivariate normal distribution, is proposed in this paper as a target detection algorithm. Experimental results show that the logistic regression model can work well in target detection.
