Hyperspectral target detection via discrete wavelet-based spectral fringe-adjusted joint transform correlation

Abstract

Spectral variability remains a major challenge for target detection in hyperspectral imagery (HSI). Recently, the spectral fringe-adjusted joint transform correlation (SFJTC) technique has been used effectively for hyperspectral target detection applications. In this paper, we propose to use discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients of the signatures as features for detection in order to make the SFJTC technique more insensitive to spectral variability. We devised a supervised training algorithm that uses the pure target signature and randomly selected samples from input scenery to select an optimal set of DWT coefficients for detection. We have inserted target signatures into urban and vegetative hyperspectral scenery with varying levels of spectral variability to explore the performance of our DWT-based SFJTC technique in different operating conditions. Detection results in the form of receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curves and area-under-the-ROC (AUROC) curves show that the proposed scheme yields the largest mean AUROC values compared to SFJTC using the original signatures and traditional hyperspectral detection algorithms.

Flag-based detection of weak gas signatures in long-wave infrared hyperspectral image sequences

“…Thus, we follow the lead of Sakla et al 21 and utilize a first-order Markovbased model, defined as ν ∼ N b [0, Γ] to generate the additive white noise. The covariance matrix Γ is defined as Γ = σ 2 R where R is the Toeplitz correlation matrix defined according to the first-order Markov model, 22…”
