Invariant Feature Extraction and Classification in Kernel Spaces

In hyperspectral imagery one pixel typically consists of a mixture of the reflectance spectra of several materials, where the mixture coefficients correspond to the abundances of the constituting materials. Weassume linear combinations of reflectance spectra with some additive normal sensor noise and derive a probabilistic MAP framework for analyzing hyperspectral data. As the material reflectance characteristicsare not know a priori, we face the problem of unsupervised linear unmixing.
