Robust nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images with a linear-mixture/nonlinear-fluctuation model

Hyperspectral data unmixing has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Hyperspectral data may however suffer from varying levels of signal-to-noise ratio over spectral bands. In this paper, we investigate a robust approach for nonlinear hyperspectral data unmixing. Each observed pixel is modeled as a linear mixing of endmember spectra with nonlinear fluctuations embedded in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Welsch M-estimator is considered for reducing the sensitivity of the unmixing process. Experimental results, with both synthetic and real data, illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
