Abstract:Performance of hyperspectral target detection algorithms is determined by the spectral variability and separability of target and background materials within the scene. Practical matched filter detectors typically utilize only background statistics due to the assumed rarity of target materials. Background materials are additionally modeled scene-wide as Gaussian, which allows for straightforward estimation of statistics but oversimplifies the complex manifold on which spectra are typically distributed. These s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
