摘要
This paper considers a problem of unsupervised spectral unmixing of hyperspectral data. Based on the Linear Mixing Model （ LMM）, a new method under the framework of nonnegative matrix fac- torization （NMF） is proposed, namely minimum distance constrained nonnegative matrix factoriza- tion （MDC-NMF）. In this paper, firstly, a new regularization term, called endmember distance （ED） is considered, which is defined as the sum of the squared Euclidean distances from each end- member to their geometric center. Compared with the simplex volume, ED has better optimization properties and is conceptually intuitive. Secondly, a projected gradient （PG） scheme is adopted, and by the virtue of ED, in this scheme the optimal step size along the feasible descent direction can be calculated easily at each iteration. Thirdly, a finite step （ no more than the number of endmem- bers） terminated algorithm is used to project a point on the canonical simplex, by which the abun- dance nonnegative constraint and abundance sum-to-one constraint can be accurately satisfied in a light amount of computation. The experimental results, based on a set of synthetic data and real da- ta, demonstrate that, in the same running time, MDC-NMF outperforms several other similar meth- ods proposed recently.
