Abstract:

Background is a key interferene in target detection. To avoid the interferene of complex background, an expectation-maximization cluster based approach to subpixel detection in hyperspectral is presented that incorporates background segmentation to model complex background. First, the expectation-maximization cluster model is employed to segment whole background into homogenous regions. Then the adaptive matched subspace detection algorithm (AMSD) is applied in each homogenous region. Since the segmented regions are more homogenous than the whole complex background, our new approach can have a better performance. Experimental result with a real hyperspectral image has proved the validity of the new approach.
