NON-LITERAL PATTERN RECOGNITION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY EXPLOITATION

摘要

A processing system and method identifies materials present in a pixel of a multispectral or a hyperspectral image. Underlying data models representing spectral endmembers or materials of interest and model based relationships are used to identify the materials. The processing system and method provide a technique that detects, unmixes, and classifies spectral signatures for terrain categorization and object identification.
