Spectral-Spatial Weighted Sparse Nonnegative Tensor Factorization for Hyperspectral Unmixing

Abstract

Hyperspectral unmixing aims to decompose a hyperspectral image (HSI) into a collection of constituent materials, or end-members, and their corresponding abundance fractions. Recently, nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF)-based spectral unmixing methods have attracted significant attention owing to their outstanding performance when representing an HSI without any information loss. However, tensor factorization-based HSI methods do not fully exploit the spatial contextual information present in the scene. Besides, these approaches are sensitive to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in HSIs. To address this limitation, we propose a new spectral-spatial weighted sparse nonnegative tensor factorization (SSWNTF) method to preserve the spatial details in the abundance maps via the spectral and spatial weighting factors. Our experiments with simulated data sets certified that the proposed method outperforms other advanced methods.
