Remote Sensing, Vol. 11, Pages 2374: Improved Spatial-Spectral Superpixel Hyperspectral Unmixing (Remote Sensing)
 


In this paper, an unsupervised unmixing approach based on superpixel representation combined with regional partitioning is presented. A reduced-size image representation is obtained using superpixel segmentation where each superpixel is represented by its mean spectra. The superpixel image representation is then partitioned into regions using quadtree segmentation based on the Shannon entropy. Spectral endmembers are extracted from each region that corresponds to a leaf of the quadtree and combined using clustering into endmember classes. The proposed approach is tested and validated using the HYDICE Urban and ROSIS Pavia data sets. Different levels of qualitative and quantitative assessments are performed based on the available reference data. The proposed approach is also compared with global (no-regional quadtree segmentation) and with pixel-based (no-superpixel representation) unsupervised unmixing approaches. Qualitative assessment was based primarily on agreement with spatial distribution of materials obtained from a reference classification map. Quantitative assessment was based on comparing classification maps generated from abundance maps using winner takes it all with a 50% threshold and a reference classification map. High agreement with the reference classification map was obtained by the proposed approach as evidenced by high kappa values (over 70%). The proposed approach outperforms global unsupervised unmixing approaches with and without superpixel representation that do not account for regional information. The agreement performance of the proposed approach is slightly better when compared to the pixel-based approached using quadtree segmentation. However, the proposed approach resulted in significant computational savings due to the use of the superpixel representation.
