This paper introduces a matrix cofactorization approach to perform spectral unmixing and classification jointly. After formulating the unmixing and classification tasks as matrix factorization problems, a link is introduced between the two coding matrices, namely the abundance matrix and the feature matrix. This coupling term can be interpreted as a clustering term where the abundance vectors are clustered and the resulting attribution vectors are then used as feature vectors. The overall non-smooth, non-convex optimization problem is solved using a proximal alternating linearized minimization algorithm (PALM) ensuring convergence to a critical point. The quality of the obtained results is finally assessed by comparison to other conventional algorithms on semi-synthetic yet realistic dataset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
