Abstract

Remote detection, identification, and quantification of materials is an important problem in earth resource assessment. Satellite-based hyperspectral imaging sensors currently being developed by government and industry partnerships (e.g. the Coastal Ocean Imaging Spectrometer aboard the Naval EarthMap Observer) appear to be uniquely qualified for this purpose. Obtaining accurate estimates of material abundance on a pixel-by-pixel basis poses many challenging algorithmic and computational difficulties. A significant issue that must be addressed is how to efficiently select endmembers from a library when that library is spectrally redundant. In this paper, we demonstrate how an improved version of the Residual Correlation Method (RCM+) can provide a flexible solution to this problem. The RCM+ offers a robust treatment for selecting endmembers from spectrally redundant libraries in a one-at-a-time fashion. We discuss alternative methods such as two-at-a-time, or more generally, N-at-a-time methods within a unified mathematical framework for analysis. Certain theorems apply to all such methods, and help to define a trade space for endmember selection methods in general. We demonstrate our results using synthetic test cases, and discuss how all endmember selection methods may be affected by redundancy within the library as well as specific properties of the data.
