Abstract

En 中文
We investigate the use of Bayesian methods for hyperspectral subpixel target detection, where the uncertainty associated with the target fill factor is probabilized by a suitable prior. Specifically, we present a general framework for Bayesian target detection by employing different models for the background distribution, comparing different choices for the Bayesian prior, and investigating different numerical schemes for evaluating the Bayesian integral. The Bayesian methods are furthermore compared to their generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT)-based counterparts. Experiments performed over real hyperspectral imagery, with both real and implanted subpixel targets, show that incorporating prior knowledge by means of nonuniform priors emphasizing smaller target fill factors outperforms usage of the noninformative uniform prior and enhances Bayes performance beyond the GLRT, a result observed for both parametric and nonparametric background models. We find that even rough priors can successfully leverage the context-based information by emphasizing target sizes that are of most interest. We further observe that the Gauss-Legendre numerical integration scheme provides efficient integral approximation while maintaining the desirable admissibility property of Bayesian methods.
