The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
A METHOD FOR AUTOMATED ENDMEMBER IDENTIFICATION, SELECTION AND EXTRACTION FROM HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention generally relates to the Hyperspectral image analysis, and more specifically to the process of automatic endmember identification, selection and extraction from Hyperspectral imagery.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication.
[0003] The term 'Hyperspectral Imaging' integrates the power of digital imaging and spectroscopy, and it is significantly accepted because of its wider spectral and large geographic coverage. Due to the wider spectral coverage and continuous acquisition nature, the Hyperspectral sensor records the light intensity for a large number of continuous spectral channels. Therefore, every pixel in the image contains a continuous spectrum of radiance or reflectance and can be used to characterize the materials within the scene with great precision and details. Along with the enriched amount of information, it has significantly proven its applicability for material identification, discrimination and mapping in various application domains including Agriculture, Forestry, Soil Sciences, Mineralogy, Hydrology and Oceanography etc. along with the beauty of its note-worthy and multi-domain applications, the Hyperspectral images are having its own data processing challenges, which adversely affect the data analysis outcomes. These challenges includes the adverse atmospheric effects, curse of dimensionality, lack of ground truth data and spectral mixing etc. the ground truth unavailability and spectral mixing problem can be precisely estimated using the image derived endmembers. Where 'endmembers' are the spectral signatures, exclusively characterized by unique surface material. In Hyperspectral image analysis, accurately identified endmembers can be used as reference spectra for supervised classification and spectral unmixing problems.
[00041 The Pixel Purity Index, NFINDR, Automatic Target Generation Process, Vertex Component Analysis, Convex Cone Analysis and Algorithm for Rapid Endmember Determination etc. are the few endmember extraction methods available in the literature. But, these methods are significantly dependent on user defined input parameters (i.e. Number of endmembers to extract, Number of iterations to perform and threshold value etc.) and unfortunately having no specific criteria to define the value of these parameters. Additionally some of these methods get initialized on the basis of randomly generated parameter values. This hypothetically selected parameter values and random initialization nature makes endmember extraction techniques to produce inconsistent set of endmembers during several runs on the same Hyperspectral images.
[0005] To overcome these challenges, an automated Hyperspectral endmember identification, selection and extraction process us designed, which minimizes the number of input parameters and produces the consistent and useful set of endmembers for hyperspectral image classification and spectral unmixing.
[0006] Therefore the present disclosure overcomes the above mentioned problem of lack of consistency in extraction associated with the traditionally available method or system, any of the above mentioned inventions can be used with the presented disclosed technique with or without modification.
[00071 All publications herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. Where a definition or use of a term in an incorporated reference is inconsistent or contrary to the definition of that term provided herein, the definition of that term provided herein applies and the definition of that term in the reference does not apply.
[0008] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of "a "an," and "the" includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of "in" includes "in" and "on" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[00091 All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. "such as") provided with respect to certain embodiments herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0010] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a method to process images obtained from long distance to identify the contents of the image.
[00111 It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for automated end member identification from a hyperspectral image.
[00121 It is yet another object of the present invention to obtain spatial coordinates, spectral plots and pure spectral signatures from a hyperspectral image.
SUMMARY
[00131 The present disclosure relates to a traffic surveillance systems, and more particularly to a system and method to identify the vehicles on the road and determine if the vehicle is moving or stationary.
[00141 One should appreciate that although the present disclosure has been explained with respect to a defined set of functional modules, any other module or set of modules can be added/deleted/modified/combined and any such changes in architecture/construction of the proposed system are completely within the scope of the present disclosure. Each module can also be fragmented into one or more functional sub-modules, all of which also completely within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0015] This invention encompasses the six step analysis process, wherein the first and last step includes the input data encoding (DE) and decoding (DD) processes respectively. The seconds step evaluates every data sample using Pearson Correlation based Purity Measure (PCB-PM). Third step uses the Strong Positive Correlation based Sample Selection (SPC-SS) using efficient searching mechanism. The remaining Pearson Correlation Based Eliminated Data Samples (PCB-EDS) are not considered for further analysis. In step four, the only data samples retained in the step three (SPC-SS) are taken for analysis and clustered automatically using Distance Metrics Based Similarity Measure (DMB-SM). Here the cardinality of cluster set gives the Virtual Dimensionality Count (i.e. total number of unique materials) of the image under observation. In step five, using the Spatial Neighborhood Based Automatic Endmember Selection (SNB-AES), the representation data samples having maximum purity are selected from each cluster and marked as a final set of endmembers. The process extracts the final set of endmembers in three different formats including their corresponding spatial coordinates, spectral signatures and spectral plots.
[0016] As per the method of the present invention, the bad band eliminated radiance cube or atmospherically corrected reflectance cube or dimensionality reduced few of the principal components of hyperspectral image is taken as an input for endmember identification, selection and extraction process. Further, the input 3-dimensional image cube is encoded into 2-dimensional matrix, where each row represents a single data sample and each column represents a single variable. This encoded sample matrix is used for further processing and analysis and every single data sample of is evaluated for Pearson Correlation based purity measure. Wherein, sample to sample correlation is computed for all the data samples. Only data samples from having strong positive correlation are retained for further processing and rest of the samples eliminated and not taken in consideration for further analysis. The data samples retained in strong positive correlation based purity measure are clustered into automatically into similar groups using distance based similarity measure. Here the total number of clusters (i.e. cardinality of the cluster set) indicates the Virtual Dimensionality Count (i.e. the total number of unique surface materials within the scene) of the image. The cluster set is used for 8 or 24 spatial neighbourhood based similarity measure which automates the final endmember selection process. Where Mean Squared Error (MSE) is computed between every individual data sample of the image and mean of its 8 or 24 neighbouring samples. Further, all the cluster elements are sorted in descending order based of MSE values. Now the first few data samples having minimum MSE value from each of the cluster are selected as a final set of endmembers. Here, the remaining data samples from all the clusters are eliminated from further analysis. The selected set of final endmembers in decoded into its original input shape, so that the final process outcome can be generated into three different endmember formats including their corresponding spatial coordinates, pure spectral signatures and spectral plots.

[0032] This invention encompasses the six step analysis process, wherein the first and last step includes the input data encoding (DE) and decoding (DD) processes respectively. The seconds step evaluates every data sample using Pearson Correlation based Purity Measure (PCB-PM). Third step uses the Strong Positive Correlation based Sample Selection (SPC-SS) using efficient searching mechanism. The remaining Pearson Correlation Based Eliminated Data Samples (PCB-EDS) are not considered for further analysis. In step four, the only data samples retained in the step three (SPC-SS) are taken for analysis and clustered automatically using Distance Metrics Based Similarity Measure (DMB-SM). Here the cardinality of cluster set gives the Virtual Dimensionality Count (i.e. total number of unique materials) of the image under observation. In step five, using the Spatial Neighbourhoods Based Automatic Endmember Selection (SNB-AES), the representation data samples having maximum purity are selected from each cluster and marked as a final set of endmembers.
