Target detection in hyperspectral imagery: when less is more

Stanley R. Rotman
Ben-Gurion University

Hyperspectral data provides increased spectral resolution for such tasks as point target detection, area classification and change detection. With such a plethora of data, we must ask if we always want to use all the bands in the datacube. In addition, the use of too many endmembers to define the background can often result in overspecification and lead to reduced target detectability. In this talk, we will examine both of these issues, defining cases in which using only part of the available information can actually result in improved target detection results.

Host: James Theiler
