Abstract:

Disturbed by heterogeneous background and noise, the direct application of traditional RX anomaly detection algorithm for hyperspectral image often results in high false alarms. In order to solve this problem, an improved RX algorithm based on discriminant subspace combined with multi-window fusion is proposed. Firstly, the discriminant features of dominant clustering samples are extracted. Secondly, the orthogonality subspace projection which is built by dominant feature vectors is used to obtain the maximum separation of the background and the target information, achieving the suppression of the background. Then multiple RX with different local window size are applied for the anomaly target enhanced data. Finally, the multi-window RX results are added together. The performance on testing methods is evaluated by AUC. The AUC statistical values of the NUANCE and HYDICE hyperspectral data anomaly detection experiments show that the multi-window fusion algorithm outperforms the classical global and local RX algorithms in detection performance, and it has a stronger inhibition on the background and noise, the detected abnormal target is more accurate, which proves the effectivity and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
