Spatial information is increasingly becoming a vital factor in the field of hyperspectral endmember extraction, since it takes into consideration the spatial correlation of pixels, which generally involves jointing spectral information for preprocessing and/or endmember extraction in hyperspectral imagery (HSI). Generally, simplex-based endmember extraction algorithms (EEAs) identify endmembers without considering spatial attributes, and the spatial preprocessing strategy is an independently executed module that can provide spatial information for the endmember search process. Despite this interest, to the best of our knowledge, no one has studied the integration framework of the spatial information-embedded simplex for hyperspectral endmember extraction. In this paper, we propose a spatially weighted simplex strategy, called SWSS, for hyperspectral endmember extraction that investigates a novel integration framework of the spatial information-embedded simplex for identifying endmember. Specifically, the SWSS generates the spatial weight scalar of each pixel by determining its corresponding spatial neighborhood correlations for weighting itself within the simplex framework to regularize the selection of the endmembers. The SWSS could be implemented in the traditional simplex-based EEAs, such as vertex component analysis (VCA), to introduce spatial information into the data simplex framework without the computational complexity excessively increasing or endmember extraction accuracy loss. Based on spectral angle distance (SAD) and root-mean-square-error (RMSE) evaluation criteria, experimental results on both synthetic and C u p r i t e real hyperspectral datasets indicate that the simplex-based EEA re-implemented by the SWSS has a significant improvement on endmember extraction performance over the techniques on their own and without re-implementing.

This paper proposes a remote sensing image classification method based on multi-feature combination of the support vector machine (SVM) according to the classification problems of the high resolution remote sensing image. ALOS image is operated at two stages by this method. The first stage is to coarsely classify with fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm and k-means algorithm, and the second stage is to extract the textural features of the image with gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The relevancy is selected to participate in the classification of the SVM. Experiments prove that the method is an effective and feasible remote sensing image classification method.
