57 results about "Endmember" patented technology

An endmember (also end-member or end member) in mineralogy is a mineral that is at the extreme end of a mineral series in terms of purity. Minerals often can be described as solid solutions with varying compositions of some chemical elements, rather than as substances with an exact chemical formula. There may be two or more endmembers in a group or series of minerals.

Efficient imagery exploitation employing wavelet-based feature indices

InactiveUS20070031042A1Scene recognitionTerrainCoiflet
A wavelet-based band difference-sum ratio method reduces the computation cost of classification and feature extraction (identification) tasks. A Generalized Difference Feature Index (GDFI), computed using wavelets such as Daubechies wavelets, is employed in a method to automatically generate a large sequence of generalized band ratio images. In select embodiments of the present invention, judicious data mining of the large set of GDFI bands produces a small subset of GDFI bands suitable to identify specific Terrain Category / Classification (TERCAT) features. Other wavelets, such as Vaidyanathan, Coiflet, Beylkin, and Symmlet and the like may be employed in select embodiments. The classification and feature extraction (identification) performance of the band ratio method of the present invention is comparable to that obtained with the same or similar data sets using much more sophisticated methods such as discriminants, neural net classification, endmember Gibbs-based partitioning, and genetic algorithms.

Ares method of sub-pixel target detection

Target detection using algorithms is based on the adaptive real-time endmembers selection from hyperspectral image data. New pixels are correlated with prestored clutter endmembers to obtain subsequently detected target and clutter pixels and then suppressing the latter, leaving about 10% of the image as targets. Targets are then reduced in number by size filtering.

Spectral mixture process conditioned by spatially-smooth partitioning

InactiveUS20050047663A1Accurate global labelingImprove global labelingScene recognitionClassification methodsEnergy functional
A method that facilitates identification of features in a scene enables enhanced detail to be displayed. One embodiment incorporates a multi-grid Gibbs-based algorithm to partition sets of endmembers of an image into smaller sets upon which spatial consistency is imposed. At each site within an imaged scene, not necessarily a site entirely within one of the small sets, the parameters of a linear mixture model are estimated based on the small set of endmembers in the partition associated with that site. An, enhanced spectral mixing process (SMP) is then computed. One embodiment employs a simulated annealing method of partitioning hyperspectral imagery, initialized by a supervised classification method to provide spatially smooth class labeling for terrain mapping applications. One estimate of the model is a Gibbs distribution defined over a symmetric spatial neighborhood system that is based on an energy function characterizing spectral disparities in both Euclidean distance and spectral angle.

Method to analyze remotely sensed spectral data

A fast and rigorous multivariate curve resolution (MCR) algorithm is applied to remotely sensed spectral data. The algorithm is applicable in the solar-reflective spectral region, comprising the visible to the shortwave infrared (ranging from approximately 0.4 to 2.5 μm), midwave infrared, and thermal emission spectral region, comprising the thermal infrared (ranging from approximately 8 to 15 μm). For example, employing minimal a priori knowledge, notably non-negativity constraints on the extracted endmember profiles and a constant abundance constraint for the atmospheric upwelling component, MCR can be used to successfully compensate thermal infrared hyperspectral images for atmospheric upwelling and, thereby, transmittance effects. Further, MCR can accurately estimate the relative spectral absorption coefficients and thermal contrast distribution of a gas plume component near the minimum detectable quantity.

Decomposing hyperspectral or multispectral image data

The disclosure concerns processing of electronic images, such as hyperspectral or multispectral images. In particular, but is not limited to methods, software and computer systems for determining underlying spectra of an image of a scene. The image data comprises for each pixel location a sampled image spectrum that is a mixture of plural reflectance spectra. Processor 310 determines or accesses plural hyperplanes that each have plural linearly independent basis vectors. Each hyperplane represents an estimate of one of the plural reflectance spectra. The processor 310 then determines for each pixel location, a contribution of the plural basis vectors of each hyperplane to the image spectrum of that pixel location. The processor 310 determines or accesses plural hyperplanes and not plural endmembers directly. Hyperplanes are two-dimensional while endmembers are only one-dimensional. As a result, hyperplanes carry more information, such as the illumination spectrum and are therefore of greater use. The decomposition of the image data into hyperplanes is possible without knowing the illumination spectrum. This decomposition allows for a range of new applications such as endmember extraction and compact representation.

Process for finding endmembers in a data set

The invention provides a method for identifying one or more materials in a scene by determining a set of spectral vectors, called endmembers, from a data set comprised of spectra from the image data, and matching the set of endmembers to predefined library materials. The image data of the scene is captured with a sensor, and comprises a plurality of spectra. The method applies an iterative mathematical criterion, termed residual minimization, to find the endmembers. The first endmember may be selected based on the largest mean square value or the largest mean magnitude value. Subsequent endmembers are determined by calculating weighting factors, such that the weighting factors are non-negative and the calculated vector differences, or residuals, generate the smallest error metric. The error metric is dependent upon the vector difference between two spectra in the image data set, and may be the mean squared vector difference between two spectra.

Method of identifying endmember spectral values from hyperspectral image data

A method of identifying endmember spectral values from multispectral image data, where each multispectral data value is equal to a sum of mixing proportions of each endmember spectrum. The method comprises 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 is 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.

Spectral unmixing scheme based on abundance sparse and endmember orthogonal constraint NMF(Non-negative Matrix Factorization)

A spectral unmixing scheme based on abundance sparse and endmember orthogonal constraint NMF(Non-negative Matrix Factorization) is an algorithm of a spectral image decomposition field. A classical NMFtarget function is a non-convex function, and a constraint condition needs to be added into the target function for solving the problems. The characteristics of spectral images are combined to put forward the spectral image unmixing algorithm which combines endmember orthogonality with abundance sparse constrains NMF on the basis of a linear spectral mixture model. The endmember orthogonal constraint guarantees independence among spectral endmembers, meanwhile, the abundance sparsity fully utilizes the sparsity of spectral data, two constraint conditions are introduced into the target function, a least square method is adopted to obtain the iteration rules of an endmember matrix and an abundance matrix, and a final result is obtained through the setting of an iterative termination condition. Through the experiments of simulation data and truthful data, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified.
