Mixed Noise Estimation Model for Optimized Kernel Minimum Noise Fraction Transformation in Hyperspectral Image Dimensionality Reduction

Abstract

Dimensionality reduction (DR) is of great significance for simplifying and optimizing hyperspectral image (HSI) features. As a widely used DR method, kernel minimum noise fraction (KMNF) transformation preserves the high-order structures of the original data perfectly. However, the conventional KMNF noise estimation (KMNF-NE) uses the local regression residual of neighbourhood pixels, which depends heavily on spatial information. Due to the limited spatial resolution, there are many mixed pixels in HSI, making KMNF-NE unreliable for noise estimation and leading to poor performance in KMNF for classification on HSIs with low spatial resolution. In order to overcome this problem, a mixed noise estimation model (MNEM) is proposed in this paper for optimized KMNF (OP-KMNF). The MNEM adopts the sequential and linear combination of the Gaussian prior denoising model, median filter, and Sobel operator to estimate noise. It retains more details and edge features, making it more suitable for noise estimation in KMNF. Experiments using several HSI datasets with different spatial and spectral resolutions are conducted. The results show that, compared with some other DR methods, the improvement of OP-KMNF in average classification accuracy is up to 4%. To improve the efficiency, the OP-KMNF was implemented on graphics processing units (GPU) and sped up by about 60× compared to the central processing unit (CPU) implementation. The outcome demonstrates the significant performance of OP-KMNF in terms of classification ability and execution efficiency.

Minimum Noise Fraction Analysis of TGO/NOMAD LNO Channel High-Resolution Nadir Spectra of Mars

“…Since no dark measurements are available (background subtraction is performed onboard), we build the noise dataset from a series of LNO spectra acquired in nightside, where no signal from the target is present. For LNO data, this approach is expected to be more reliable than noise estimations based on the signal dataset itself, which retain dependences on the spatial distribution of the signal (e.g., [26]). In Section 4.3, we take as an example order 189 data to present updated methods (that also apply to order 168) for selecting Ne with LNO data and show how this number relates to the scientific goals of the investigation.…”

“…), global correlation along spectral (GCS) Global correlation along spectral (GCS) mainly focuses on depicting the relationship among features along spectral direction [12,13], low-rank tensors [9,14], sparse coding [32][33][34], etc. [35]. Compared to 2D-based (i.e., band by band) approaches, the developed methods can produce improved restoration performance thanks to these priors that could jointly leverage the spatial and spectral properties.…”
