“…Besides that, a lack of a comparative study on traditional techniques used in HSI dimensionality reduction has been observed as well as an accurate approach for component selection in the transformed space. There exist studies comparing PCA, MNF, and ICA with new methodologies [9,[13][14][15], as well as other studies that analyze their behavior or improve these techniques [1,2,5,11,[16][17][18], without making a comparison with the existing methods. Additionally, previous studies [8,19,20] have used a small number of components to obtain adequate classification maps.…”
