Abstract:Linear mixture model (LMM) is widely used in remote sensing image analysis. In the original LMM, it is assumed that each pixel is a linear combination of all the endmember signatures. For an image scene covering a large geospatial area, the number of endmembers is quite large but only a small subset of these endmembers may actually participate in the composition of a specific pixel. If all the endmembers are used in the spectral unmixing process, the result may contain additional estimation error. The Multiple… Show more
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.
