Fast real-time onboard processing of hyperspectral imagery for detection and classification

Remotely sensed hyperspectral imagery has many important applications since its high-spectral resolution enables more accurate object detection and classification. To support immediate decision-making in critical circumstances, real-time onboard implementation is greatly desired. This paper investigates real-time implementation of several popular detection and classification algorithms for image data with different formats. An effective approach to speeding up real-time implementation is proposed by using a small portion of pixels in the evaluation of data statistics. An empirical rule of an appropriate percentage of pixels to be used is investigated, which results in reduced computational complexity and simplified hardware implementation. An overall system architecture is also provided.
