HSI Image Vitual Dimensionality Measure (HfcVd)

Function

pysptools.material_count.vd.HfcVd(M, far='default')[source]

Computes the vitual dimensionality (VD) measure for an HSI image for specified false alarm rates. When no false alarm rate(s) is specificied, the following vector is used: 1e-3, 1e-4, 1e-5. This metric is used to estimate the number of materials in an HSI scene.

Parameters:
  • M – numpy array HSI data as a 2D matrix (N x p).
  • far – list [default default] False alarm rate(s).
Returns: python list
VD measure, number of materials estimate.

count(M, far='default', noise_whitening=False)

Computes the vitual dimensionality (VD) measure for an HSI image for specified false alarm rates. When no false alarm rate(s) is specificied, the following vector is used: 1e-3, 1e-4, 1e-5. This metric is used to estimate the number of materials in an HSI scene.

Parameters:
  • M – numpy array HSI data as a 2D matrix (N x p).
  • far – list [default default] False alarm rate(s).
  • noise_whitening – boolean [default False] If True noise whitening is applied before calling HfcVd, doing a NWHFC.
Returns: python list
VD measure, number of materials estimate.

Hyperspectral Signal Subspace Identification by Minimum Error (HySime)

Function

pysptools.material_count.vd.hysime(y, n, Rn)[source]

Hyperspectral signal subspace estimation

Parameters:
  • y – numpy array hyperspectral data set (each row is a pixel) with ((m*n) x p), where p is the number of bands and (m*n) the number of pixels.
  • n – numpy array ((m*n) x p) matrix with the noise in each pixel.
  • Rn – numpy array noise correlation matrix (p x p)
Returns: tuple integer, numpy array
  • kf signal subspace dimension
  • Ek matrix which columns are the eigenvectors that span the signal subspace.
