Popis: | Hyperspectral unmixing is an important problem for remotely sensed data interpretation. It amounts at estimating the spectral signatures of the pure spectral constituents in the scene (endmembers) and their corresponding subpixel fractional abundances. Although the unmixing problem is inherently nonlinear (due to multiple scattering), the nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral data has been a very challenging problem. This is because nonlinear models require detailed knowledge about the physical interactions between the sunlight scattered by multiple materials. In turn, bilinear mixture models (BMMs) can reach good accuracy with a relatively simple model for scattering. In this article, we develop a new BMM and a corresponding unsupervised unmixing approach which consists of two main steps. In the first step, a deep autoencoder is used to linearly estimate the endmember signatures and their associated abundance fractions. The second step refines the initial (linear) estimates using a bilinear model, in which another deep autoencoder (with a low-rank assumption) is adapted to model second-order scattering interactions. It should be noted that in our developed BMM model, the two deep autoencoders are trained in a mutually interdependent manner under the multitask learning framework, and the relative reconstruction error is used as the stopping criterion. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using both synthetic and real hyperspectral data sets. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can reasonably estimate the nature of nonlinear interactions in real scenarios. Compared with other state-of-the-art unmixing algorithms, the proposed approach demonstrates very competitive performance. |
