Most blind hyperspectral unmixing methods exploit convex geometry properties of hyperspectral data. The minimum volume simplex analysis (MVSA) is one of such methods, which, as many others, estimates the minimum volume (MV) simplex where the measured vectors live. MVSA was conceived to circumvent the matrix factorization step often implemented by MV-based algorithms and also to cope with outliers, which compromise the results produced by MV algorithms. Inspired by the recently proposed robust MV enclosing simplex (RMVES) algorithm, we herein introduce the robust MVSA (RMVSA), which is a version of MVSA robust to noise. As in RMVES, the robustness is achieved by employing chance constraints, which control the volume of the resulting simplex. RMVSA differs, however, substantially from RMVES in the way optimization is carried out. In this paper, we develop a linearization relaxation of the nonlinear chance constraints, which can greatly lighten the computational complex of chance constraint problems. The effectiveness of RMVSA is illustrated by comparing its performance with the state of the art.
