Blind Hyperspectral Unmixing Using an Extended Linear Mixing Model to Address Spectral Variability.

Spectral unmixing is one of the main research topics in hyperspectral imaging. It can be formulated as a source separation problem, whose goal is to recover the spectral signatures of the materials present in the observed scene (called endmembers) as well as their relative proportions (called fractional abundances), and this for every pixel in the image. A linear mixture model (LMM) is often used ...
